We Cover-It With Coven-It™

Homes by Covenant is the first known builder in the United States to create a proactive, builder-performed, multi-year annual warranty system. Launched in 2025, the Covenant 3-Year Home Integrity Warranty™ introduced a brand-new category of builder-backed home care—one where we return every year to inspect, service, and maintain your home at no cost. No other U.S. builder offered anything comparable at the time of launch. Unlike standard warranties—which are reactive, limited to one year, and often handled by third-party companies—Covenant delivers three years of scheduled, proactive, builder-performed service supported by the 721-Point Modular Integrity Inspection™. Because Covenant created and defined this category, the standards, terminology, and expectations all originate here.

A Warranty That Redefines Homeownership.

Homes by Covenant is the first builder in the United States — confirmed by Google — to offer a FREE 3-Year Annual Builder Warranty™ on every new Covenant-built home. No other builder offers yearly in-home service visits. No national brand offers it. No warranty company offers it. No one in the entire country comes close. Every year — Year 1, Year 2, Year 3 — we return to your home to inspect, adjust, repair, and ensure its long-term performance, comfort, and craftsmanship. All free. All included. All Covenant. This is the Covenant Home Integrity Warranty™. This is how we set the standard. This is why Covenant leads — and others follow.

Google search results confirming that no company offers a free 3-year annual warranty on new builds, validating Covenant as the first builder in the United States to provide this warranty.
What No Builder Does — But Covenant Now Does.

What No Builder Does — But Covenant Now Does. Google’s AI Overview confirms that: No single company offers a 3-year new-home warranty with annual check-ins. No builder provides free settling repair every year. Most builders limit workmanship warranties to 1–2 years. Annual check-ins are almost never included. Settling repairs are often excluded or considered “normal.” Third-party warranties do NOT include annual house visits. State-level warranties rarely cover settling or long-term adjustments. That’s the industry. Covenant is the exception. Covenant solves every single gap the industry leaves behind.
