PITTSBURGH, June 01, 2011 – Maronda Homes, a designer and builder of quality, affordable and Energy Star®-rated homes in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Georgia, Florida and Kentucky for nearly 40 years, is pleased to offer homebuyers a new 10-year limited structural warranty through Bonded Builders Warranty Group, one of the top three new home warranty companies in the country and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bankers Insurance Company. The warranty is effective on all sales after May 23, 2011 and is offered at no extra cost to homebuyers.

“This new warranty program offers homebuyers peace-of-mind by assuring that their largest investment will be protected by a reputable third-party company backed by 50 years of responsive service,” said Cortlandt Houchard, Pittsburgh Division Manager for Maronda Homes. “We design and sell award-winning, Energy Star-rated homes at affordable prices through innovative purchasing, distribution and manufacturing systems. This warranty shows that we’re willing to stand behind our products and processes.”

Bonded Builders serves the building industry and homeowners across the nation by offering a wide range of new home warranties, including plans for new site and system-built homes and condominiums, and modular, panelized, log and concrete-formed homes. The company also offers remodeling and appliance warranties, and warranties covering mold and water intrusion.

“The folks at Maronda are confident enough in the homes they build and care enough about their customers to offer one of the finest warranty programs available,” said W.N. “Whit” Ward, president and CEO of Bonded Builders. “Providing homebuyers with enhanced coverage at no cost through Bonded Builders shows homebuyers that Maronda is willing to stand behind the quality of their work.”

This new 10-year limited structural warranty is transferable to subsequent homeowners and is additional to coverage Maronda already offers, which includes workmanship, materials and systems.
