Items covered in the 10-Year Structural Limited Warranty

This powerful warranty covers Major Structural Defects (MSD), which are defined in three parts:

(1) Actual physical damage to one or more of the following specified load-bearing elements of the home

(2) causing the failure of the specific major structural components
