    New Home Warranties Explained

    29 Jan 2026•4 min read

    Buying a new home is one of the biggest investments you’ll make, and understanding the warranties that come with your build is key to protecting that investment. At Mike Greer Homes, we’re committed to giving our homeowners confidence and security, backed by industry-leading warranties.

    What Warranties Cover Your New Home

    When you build with Mike Greer Homes, your home is supported by three key types of protection – each covering a different part of your build journey.

    1. Master Build 10-Year Guarantee

    As members of the Registered Master Builders Association, Mike Greer Homes provides the 10-Year Master Build Guarantee. This guarantee is one of the most comprehensive in New Zealand and covers:

    • Structural defects and issues with workmanship
    • Non-completion of contracted work
    • Certain damages arising from non-compliant construction

    It’s independent, long-term protection – giving you confidence that your home is built to a proven standard and that support is there if something unexpected happens.

    2. Manufacturer Warranties on Materials and Products

    Every Mike Greer home includes warranties on key materials and fixtures such as:

    • Roofing and cladding
    • Windows and doors
    • Plumbing and electrical fixtures
    • Appliances and home technology

    We work closely with our trusted, preferred suppliers to ensure every product used in your home meets our quality standards. These warranties provide additional protection beyond your build, covering defects in materials and ensuring any manufacturer faults are addressed, giving you confidence that every component of your home is backed by reliable partners as well as robust warranty protection.

    3. Warranty & After-Sales Support

    Your new home is protected under the warranty provisions of the Building Act 2004, which require any notified defects to be remedied within the statutory defects period. This is a standard legal protection for all homeowners in New Zealand.

    At Mike Greer Homes, we go a step further with a dedicated after-sales team who look after any maintenance or defect issues after you move in, making sure they’re resolved quickly and professionally — so you can enjoy your new home with confidence.

    How Warranties Protect You

    Warranties give homeowners financial and legal protection. They ensure:

    • Any defects are repaired to a professional standard
    • You’re not left with unexpected costs
    • You have confidence in the long-term quality of your home

    Understanding what’s covered and for how long allows you to plan maintenance and avoid stress down the track.

    Build with Confidence

    When you choose Mike Greer Homes, you’re choosing a builder who stands behind every home we build – for today, and for the years ahead. From the 10-Year Master Build Guarantee to our dedicated after-sales support team, we’re committed to delivering homes built to last.
