        "text": "A builder's warranty typically covers structural defects and major systems for a specific period, often 1 to 10 years, depending on the component. It's distinct from appliance warranties. The coverage details can vary greatly among builders. A first-party insight from our experience is that while warranties provide peace of mind, understanding the specific exclusions and the claims process *before* closing is vital, as some warranties might have limitations on cosmetic items or homeowner-induced damage.",
