Steel building warranty overview

How Warranty Coverage Is Documented

Structure, finish, workmanship and weather-related limits belong in the signed agreement. This overview does not replace your project-specific terms.

Terms by system

Compare the Written Coverage

Exact years and limits must come from the current project contract. This page does not replace or expand those written terms.

Plain-language categories

Coverage may apply to listed structural components when the building is used, maintained and installed as required by the contract.

Coating and paint coverage follows the manufacturer schedule, environment limits and maintenance requirements stated in writing.

Installation workmanship is separate from manufacturing coverage and depends on the responsible installation agreement.

Storm, flood, impact, corrosion and loads beyond the engineered design may be excluded. Read the project-specific limits.
