Built to Last: Seattle’s 5-Year Craftsmanship Home Warranty

A Home Warranty That Exceeds Industry Standards

A quality design-build contractor doesn’t walk away at the final walkthrough. What Seattle’s strongest home warranty means for you:

At Better Builders, we believe in follow-up and follow-through. Our extended home protection plan is not only a promise on paper, it’s a reflection of the pride we take in our work and the ongoing relationship we maintain with every homeowner. Do you want a team that can simply get the job done, or one that ensures it’s done well? With Better Builders, you don’t have to choose.

We don’t just remodel and build new homes; we build trust.

Every custom home and Seattle remodel we complete is backed by our 5-Year Craftsmanship Warranty — a level of protection far beyond the Washington home warranty standard. While most home warranty providers and contractors offer just one to two years of coverage, we hold ourselves to a higher bar.

When you invest in your home, you deserve more than “good enough.” You deserve confidence, accountability, and lasting quality backed by a trusted local warranty provider.

Comprehensive Craftsmanship Warranty
& Ongoing Support

Our 5-Year Craftsmanship Warranty goes above industry standards to protect your investment long after construction is complete. If something breaks down or malfunctions within five years, we’ll make it right.

In addition to the standard 1-year manufacturer’s warranties, which typically cover electrical systems, plumbing systems, heating and cooling systems (HVAC), and home appliances like your refrigerator, water heater, cooktop, and garbage disposal, our extended warranty focuses on the craftsmanship, installation, and finish quality that bring your remodel or custom home together.

  • Backed by an award-winning, locally owned Seattle design-build firm

  • Exceeds the Washington State warranty requirements

  • Complements your manufacturer’s coverage for major systems and covered items

  • Adds long-term value to your real estate investment

  • Supported by a trusted team of skilled service providers and craftspeople

Here’s what our extended 5-year home warranty plan covers:

Workmanship Quality

Coverage for construction and installation issues that may affect performance, appearance, or cause significant repair costs down the road.

Finish Details

Protection for cabinetry, trim, flooring, paint, and surface finishes — the fine details that elevate your home’s design.

Structural Craftsmanship

Coverage for framing and other critical building components that support your home’s integrity and long-term durability.

Our Promise to You

If something goes wrong within five years, Better Builders will return, assess, and resolve the issue promptly, with no hidden service fees or hassles.

Better builders did an amazing job with our major house renovation. They were also communicating with us and discussing next steps and anything that may be going wrong.

Better Builders took on the conversion of a 3rd floor deck into an enclosed sunroom and also undertook the repair of two other upper-level, over living-space decks; a job refused by other regular deck contractors.
