“Warranty coverage takes effect from the date of closing”

Tarion warranties include ONE-YEAR WARRANTY PROTECTION:
The program warrants that the home is free from defects in materials and workmanship, is fit to live in, and meets the Ontario Building Code requirements for one year from the date that purchaser was entitled to occupy.

Walls/Ceilings Repairs to shrinkage cracks due to settling and corner bead splits will be done as a courtesy only once within the one-year period. Repair will not include repainting or replacing upgrades.


Electrical Defects in materials or installation to wiring, light switches, duplex outlets, electrical panel and breakers are covered by this warranty. The addition of breakers or circuits or any alterations to the electrical system by the Homeowner voids this warranty item.


Plumbing Defects due to materials or improper installation for all copper piping, drains, soldered joints and shut-off valves. Finishes on plumbing fixtures or faucets are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty where applicable. Plumbing blockages caused by Homeowners are not applicable under this warranty. The satisfactory operation of the faucets is covered under the manufacturer’s warranty where an extended warranty applies.
Doors Warped or ill-fitting interior doors (except closet sliders and cabinet doors). Normal shrinkage and expansion due to humidity levels will occur and will usually correct itself in the first year.
Ventilation Fans Performance of kitchen/stove hood fan and bathroom fan(s), provided the fans/filters have been kept free of grease and dirt build-up.

What’s Not Covered
Knowing what’s not covered by TARION warranty is just as important as knowing what is. New Homebuyers should become familiar with what is not covered under warranty protection:
Defects in materials, design and work supplied or installed by the Homeowner/Purchaser, e.g., cabinets, flooring, and painting
Secondary damage caused by defects under warranty. While the defects themselves are covered, the personal or property damage they cause is not. Often, Homeowner’s insurance covers secondary damage.
Normal wear and tear
Normal shrinkage of materials that dry out after construction
Damage resulting from improper maintenance or Homeowner negligence. For example, dampness or condensation caused by Homeowner failing to maintain proper ventilation levels.
Alterations or additions made by the Homeowner.
Settling soil around the building or along utility lines.
Damage caused by Homeowner, tenants and guests.
Damage from insects or rodents, unless construction does not meet the Ontario Building Code.
Damage beyond the Homeowner’s control, e.g., floods, acts of God, wars, riots and vandalism.
Damage caused by municipal services and other utilities.
Surface defects in work and materials noted in writing and accepted by the Homeowner at the time of possession.
Homes that have been lived in or rented prior to sale.
Home purchased from a receiver or trustee may not have warranty coverage.”
