TS, the defect liability period for renovation works is very much depend on the owner and contractor negotiation. It could be vary from trade to trade. Give you some example, Waterproofing - 10 Years warranty. Roof truss - 10 years warranty. External paint - 5 years warranty. Shingles roof covering - 30 years warranty.

QUOTE(tehtmc @ Feb 15 2012, 04:06 PM) No renovation contractor will give you this type of warranty. Reno contractors are small timers. They can give you warranty on paper but what's the point? Withholding of payment is the best warranty! If you get those contractor who sapu all and do one, probably you can not get these warranty. But if you get individual specialist subcon, you still can get these warranty. The problem is, you need to spend time to coordinate them.

QUOTE(kencul @ Feb 15 2012, 05:10 PM) With regards to payment with-holding, I don't think the contractor would agree to hold his final payment(10%) for 6 months, let alone 1 year as the moment the works is completed, he will ask for full payment. The reason of my question is as my intended porch renovation is of concrete roof slab, the defects like leaking would not be possible to detect within 6 months as normally such occurances happens after 1-2 years, as what my friend experience, right in the middle of her porch. Contractor - deny responsibility and cabut. Cost of repair plus waterproofing - 8k. Is asking a 2 year warranty against leaks sounds reasonable? If you worry about water leakage, i will suggest you don't reply on waterproofing system alone, coz most waterproofing system fail. Do something on your structure roof, design it in such a way to ensure good flow of water, then add on with waterproofing system, you will be safe.

QUOTE(tehtmc @ Feb 16 2012, 05:56 PM) Is there any particular to use a concrete flat roof? Is the slab to be used as a balcony? If not, go for metaldeck roofing - solves all your worries about leakage. Kencul have to answer you why he needs r.c. flat roof, not me.
