The Homeowner should understand that like other products made by humans, a house is not perfect. It will show some minor flaws and unforeseeable defects, and it may require some adjustments and touching up. A house requires more maintenance and care than most products because it is made of many different components, each with its own special characteristics.
Habitat for Humanity-Greater Columbus will make necessary repairs and replacements to your home due to faulty workmanship or defects in materials which appear for a period of one year beginning at the date of closing.
If you are having an issue with your Washer, Dryer, Refrigerator, or Stove please contact Whirlpool at 1-800-253-1301. For all other warranty issues, please contact Lisa Jones at 614-364-7014 or ljones@habitat-columbus.org.
