“Do you give a warranty?” is the right question, but the answer “yes” means nothing without numbers. Here are the numbers.

The legal minimum

Romania's construction quality law (10/1995) obliges the contractor to a post-acceptance warranty of at least:

• 5 years for buildings in importance categories A and B (large, public);
• 3 years for category C, i.e. most houses and residential blocks;
• 1 year for category D (outbuildings, temporary structures).

Separately, the contractor is liable 10 years for hidden defects and for the whole life of the building for the load-bearing structure. Remedies are at the contractor's expense.

What we give, in writing

• Renovations and finishes: 3 years (the law requires 1–3).
• Electrical, plumbing, heating: 5 years on workmanship; equipment carries the manufacturer's warranty.
• Roofs and waterproofing: 10 years.
• Turnkey houses: 5 years on finishes, 10 on hidden defects, the structure for life, as the law provides.

How it works in practice

The warranty is written into the contract with the terms above. You call, we come within 5 working days, and if it is a workmanship defect we fix it free. The warranty does not cover normal wear or work by other tradespeople; that is why we also hand over a short maintenance guide.

Informative; the contract states the exact terms for your job.
