Owning Your New Ryder Home

Ryder Home Warranty
Program Overview

During the Home Orientation, your sales team will provide you with a copy of our Limited Warranty Manual. The Warranty Manual will cover specific details regarding what is covered and to what extent. Details regarding your Structural Warranty can be found in the Nevada Construction Statutes Disclosure that will be included as an Exhibit to the Purchase Agreement.

PLEASE REFER TO THE TABLE TITLED “RYDER HOMES WARRANTY AND BUILDER RESPONSIBILITIES” FOR A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF WHAT IS COVERED BY YOUR LIMITED WARRANTY AND WHAT THE BUILDER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING.

You may have chosen to permit our Warranty Service Representatives and trade contractors to enter your home in your absence to make scheduled repairs. If you have given us permission to enter, service requests will be completed in your absence. This will save you time and will speed up most service calls.

PERMISSION TO ENTER YOUR HOME TO DO WORK WHEN YOU ARE NOT AT HOME IS TO BE DECIDED AT THE HOME ORIENTATION.

If you did not give consent to enter, you must be at home or make arrangements for us to enter. We will attempt to schedule the repairs at your convenience, according to the times indicated below. Service work can be delayed because of special scheduling requirements, but we’ll definitely make sure you’re taken care of. Some of our trade contractors may call you directly for scheduling.

Service calls are scheduled between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. We will contact you to let you know the day we would like to enter your home to do the necessary repairs.

SERVICE CALLS ARE PROVIDED BETWEEN 8 A.M. AND 5 P.M., MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

Non-Warrantable Items

Ryder Homes delivers your new home cleaned in accordance with normal construction standards. In fairness, we cannot take it upon ourselves to warrant and repair move-in damage or other damage caused by persons other than Ryder Homes, its employees, or agents.

We would like to clear up an issue that causes many new homeowners needless alarm and irritation. A new home goes through a settling process. While settling, your home may develop small cracks, expansion, or contraction of materials in walls, floors, ceilings, around doors, windows, and other locations; this is to be expected. While we realize these items might cause momentary concern, they are easily remedied when the Homeowner does his/her first repainting. Ryder Homes is not responsible for correcting normal settlement deviations.

Technology has not yet achieved perfect color matching for several materials used in construction. Therefore, in spite of our best efforts, we cannot guarantee color matching—either in the initial construction process or subsequent service work. Such materials include, but are not limited to, the following: concrete, stucco, roofing, tile carpet, marble, textured ceilings, paint, etc. Stained woods, when used in cabinets, stair handrails, balustrades, paneling, siding, doors, and wood trim, have variations in wood grain and color. These are inherent characteristics that cannot be fully controlled and are also excluded from the guarantee. Also, Ryder Homes does not warrant your landscaping as we have no control over the care of these items.

Items Not Covered By Warranty

Damage resulting from Acts of God, including but not limited to earthquakes, flood, fire, hurricanes, et al.
Services do not cover items that, in the judgment of our Warranty Representatives, have suffered misuse, abuse, or neglect, nor does it cover normal homeowner maintenance as specified in this manual.
Cracks in drywall caused by shrinkage, settlement, or house flexing and at drywall, window joints or tile grout cracks at walls, around tubs, vanities, or sinks.
Recaulking or replacement of caulking both inside and outside due to shrinkage around doors, windows, molding, tubs, showers trim, etc.
Garage Doors adjustments after the installation of an electric door opener by other than Ryder Homes.
Grass, shrubs, and trees are living items. Ryder Homes cannot control the watering, fertilizing and weather conditions once you have moved in. Therefore, Ryder Homes does not warrant the landscaping.
Replacement of heating and air-conditioning filters.
Light bulb replacements.
Broken or damaged water lines due to weather conditions e.g. freezing, or through abuse such as lawnmowers or digging.
Sprinkler line trenches that may settle or compact.

Plumbing stoppages are limited to the first 30 days only.
Upgrades for which the homeowner has contracted directly with the supplier, such as flooring upgrades, security systems, etc. The subcontractor’s warranty covers these items, not the Ryder Homes Warranty.
Warranties on manufactured products such as light fixtures, fans, windows, etc., which are not part of the structural component of the home, are made solely by the manufacturers, suppliers, and/or contractors providing same, and cover only the appliances or products referred to therein. Ryder Homes does not make or adopt any such warranty and does not have any obligation or liability under such warranty. General Warranty items such as appliances, water heaters, furnaces, etc., carry manufacturers warranty for a specific period of time. All warranty cards must be filled out and returned to the manufacturer when required. Service calls should be directly to the manufacturer’s company.
Water heater may lose its warranty if a water softener is installed.
The garage floor is not warranted against moisture coming through the surface.
Control boxes are not warranted when damaged by power surges nor are valves and related components damaged by freeze. We also do not cover sprinkler heads and connections, irrigation lines, and valves damaged by negligence and/or abuse.
If you change or customize your home and we have to remove or destroy any of it to perform warranty work, we will only replace the changed or custom work if the materials are provided by the homeowner at his/her expense.

PLEASE NOTE: ANY DAMAGE TO HOUSE OR CONCRETE SLAB, WALKS, AND DRIVEWAYS CAUSED BY EXPANSIVE SOIL CONDITIONS WHERE THE HOMEOWNER HAS FAILED TO MAINTAIN MOISTURE IN THE SOIL OR DUE TO THE HOMEOWNER NOT INSTALLING AND MAINTAINING LANDSCAPING IS NOT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF RYDER HOMES.
