TDG Builder Warranty

We stand behind
what we build.

Ground-up new construction homes developed by TDG are covered under California’s SB-800 builder warranty — in writing, from the date of the Certificate of Occupancy. This coverage applies to new construction only; TDG does not provide a warranty on remodeled homes.

The Commitment

Accessible after the keys change hands.

We build to a standard that keeps warranty claims rare. When something does come up, our team works through it with you under the SB-800 California Builder Warranty process rather than leaving you to chase subcontractors.

This warranty program applies to ground-up new construction only. Remodels and additions are not covered by the TDG Builder Warranty — workmanship on those projects is governed by the terms of the applicable construction contract.

The Limited Warranty

What’s covered, and for how long.

4–10 yrStructural defects & soils-related issues
4–10 yrDamage caused by unintended water
2–4 yrFailures in covered systems
1 yrFit & finish components

All timelines run from the date the property receives its Certificate of Occupancy.

Good Questions. Straight Answers.

How the warranty works.

Does the warranty apply to remodels?

No. This warranty program applies to ground-up new construction homes only, under California’s SB-800 statute. TDG does not provide the Builder Warranty, or any equivalent warranty, on remodeled homes — remodel workmanship is governed by the applicable construction contract. Buyers should confirm whether a given home is new construction or a remodel as part of their due diligence.

When does coverage start?

All coverage periods begin on the date the new construction property receives its Certificate of Occupancy.

How do I make a claim?

Contact us directly and our customer experience team will walk you through the applicable SB-800 claim process for your home.

Does coverage transfer if I sell?

SB-800 rights attach to the residence for the applicable statutory periods. Terms vary by situation — consult a TDG representative and your own counsel for specifics on your property.
