Notable Quotes

● If you've ordered a custom item, balancing your expectations is important. Before making any assumptions, talk to your architect and builder to determine the warranty status for that type of item. Consider whether you want to budget for a replacement part or if you're willing to be patient and wait for the thing to be fixed in due time.

● A significant roof leak could cause extensive damage to the house, especially during a hurricane or other extreme weather events, especially if the roof wasn't installed properly. It's essential to have a plan in place to address these types of issues quickly. You want to work with a builder prepared to handle any problems arising during the warranty period. This way, you can avoid damage and protect your home correctly.

● Items can get damaged during shipping, or mistakes can happen during construction. To ensure that the final product meets your requirements, order extra materials. For example, when purchasing tiles, order more than the amount needed to account for broken pieces or tiles, not the correct size.

● Because you want something artistic, something unique, make sure you plan to care for that with the warranty and the capability to service that warranty.
