What Is the StrucSure 20-Year Transferable Warranty?
StrucSure Home Warranty is an A-rated provider that has offered reinsurance through Lloyd’s of London since 1997. The StrucSure 20-year warranty from Fox Certified Contractors covers workmanship, materials, and systems across three phases and transfers automatically to new owners.
According to StrucSure Home Warranty documentation, this coverage applies to all projects completed by the licensed contractor. A common mistake homeowners make is overlooking the transferable clause when planning a future sale.
How the 1-2-10-20 Warranty Timeline Works
The StrucSure 20-year warranty structures protection into three sequential phases that address different risks over time.
| Phase | Time Period | Coverage Details |
|---|---|---|
| Full Coverage | Year 1 | Complete protection on all workmanship, materials, and systems with no-cost repairs for any issues. |
| Systems Protection | Years 2-10 | Coverage for major systems including electrical, plumbing, heating, cooling, and ventilation. |
| Structural Integrity | Years 10-20 | Protection for major structural components including foundation, load-bearing walls, and structural framing. |
- Year 1 addresses immediate defects at no cost to the owner.
- Years 2-10 focus on essential mechanical systems that affect daily living.
- Years 10-20 safeguard the home’s core structure against long-term failure.
