HDB renovation: Check material warranties before committing (checklist)

Material warranties are crucial as they protect you against defects or premature wear and tear, potentially saving you significant costs in the long run.

Verify the length of the warranty, what it covers, and the process for making a claim. Also, confirm if the contractor will handle warranty claims on your behalf.

Request documentation from your contractor or supplier confirming the warranty terms for all materials used, including paint, tiles, and fixtures.

If a material fails within the warranty period, contact the supplier or contractor immediately to initiate a claim and arrange for repair or replacement.

Some warranties may require specific installation methods or maintenance routines to remain valid. Be sure to understand these requirements to avoid voiding the warranty.
