I asked many owners, and they didn't sign any decoration warranty. Some owners even said they didn't know what a decoration warranty was. No wonder some decoration companies didn't sign the decoration warranty in order to avoid their responsibilities, but only verbally agreed. In fact, the decoration warranty is a life-saving straw to protect the rights of decoration owners. Don't look at a small document, it can be very helpful. Bian Xiao will tell you.

Definition of decoration warranty

Decoration warranty is a life-saving straw to protect the rights and interests of decoration owners, and it is also a guarantee for the quality of residential interior decoration issued by decoration companies.

Decoration warranty period

The warranty period of residential interior decoration works is two years, and the leakage prevention of kitchen, bathroom and external wall with waterproof requirements is five years.

Warranty fund

The owner has the right to keep the warranty money equivalent to about 5% of the total amount of the renovation project. If there is no engineering quality problem during the warranty period after the completion acceptance, the owner will return the warranty money to the decoration company.

Responsibility for decoration quality problems

When signing the contract, it should be clearly stated that the decoration construction party should fulfill the warranty obligations, and at the same time, it should also indicate the responsibility and compensation for the losses.

Responsibility assessment

In order to prevent the liability from being difficult to determine, the qualified owner may ask the relevant third-party units to issue appraisal results to clarify the liability and judge the responsible party.

Maintenance project acceptance

There is a problem with a project in the house, and the decoration company is notified to repair it. However, this kind of problem appears shortly after the warranty period, and the decoration company may refuse to guarantee the owner on the grounds that the warranty period has expired. In order to avoid this situation, the owner needs to negotiate with the decoration company when signing the contract, and clearly stipulate that the projects with quality problems during the warranty period will be re-accepted after maintenance, and the warranty period will be postponed from the date of re-acceptance.

Maintenance after the expiration of the warranty period

After the warranty period, if there is a problem with the house, you can ask the decoration company to carry out engineering maintenance for the owner, and only charge the corresponding maintenance fee, and there is no other project fee.
