What To Expect: Warranty Coverage
Congratulations on settling into your new Kimball Construction home! After the whirlwind of design choices, move-in day, and getting organized, it’s natural to start thinking about how to protect your investment for the long term. One of the most important resources available to you is your home’s Warranty Coverage. At Kimball Construction, we back our craftsmanship with a warranty designed to give you confidence and peace of mind.
Your Warranty Coverage starts on the day you move in. From that moment forward, you’re covered by a one-year warranty for workmanship and materials. This includes many of the details you touch and see every day—paint, flooring, cabinetry, drywall, and similar finishes. These are the things that make a house feel like home, and we want you to enjoy them without worry. In addition, we provide extended protection for major structural components. This ten-year structural warranty gives you added security in knowing your foundation and framing are built to last. Specific terms and covered items are outlined in the documents you received in your contract, and we’re always here to help if you have questions.
If something doesn’t seem right, submitting a warranty claim is simple. Visit our website or log in to Buildertrend with your original construction credentials. Once logged in, go to the “Project Management” tab, click on “Warranty,” and fill out a claim with a brief description of the issue. Adding photos can help us respond quickly and accurately. After receiving your claim, our team will contact you to schedule an inspection or repair if needed. And if technology ever gives you trouble, feel free to call our office directly at 541.357.7837.
We also take a proactive approach. Near the end of your first year, we’ll reach out to schedule a walkthrough to identify any remaining items that might still qualify under your one-year Warranty Coverage. While you can (and should) submit issues as they come up, this checkup ensures we don’t miss anything before that initial coverage ends. We view this as a final touch in our commitment to your satisfaction.
Warranty Coverage: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I submit a claim for my Warranty Coverage?
You can submit claims online through kimballconstruction.com or buildertrend.net. Log in, navigate to the “Warranty” section under “Project Management,” and describe the issue. Uploading photos is encouraged.
What is the difference between the one-year and ten-year Warranty Coverage?
The one-year Warranty Coverage covers materials and workmanship, especially cosmetic and functional details. The ten-year portion applies to major structural components and protects against serious structural defects.
What constitutes an emergency warranty issue?
Emergencies include major HVAC failures in extreme weather, active plumbing leaks causing damage, or full power outages not related to a utility failure. If something like this happens, call Kimball Construction immediately at 541.357.7837, and submit your claim online as soon as possible.
Is regular home maintenance covered by the Warranty Coverage?
No, tasks like painting, pest control, caulking, and filter changes are the homeowner’s responsibility. Regular maintenance preserves your home’s condition and ensures it performs as designed.
Does the Kimball Construction Warranty Coverage transfer if I sell my home?
In most cases, the ten-year structural portion may transfer to a new owner, while the one-year coverage typically does not. Refer to your original warranty paperwork or contact us to confirm transfer eligibility.
Living in a new home is full of joy, but also questions—especially in the first year. Kimball Construction’s Warranty Coverage ensures you’re not navigating those questions alone. We believe in our homes and in supporting the people who live in them. Reach out through the online portal or give us a call anytime—we’re here for you.

What Is a Contract For?
A contract is the backbone of any construction project. It’s not just a formality; it’s the document that defines the relationship, sets expectations, and ensures everyone involved is on the same page.
- Defining Roles and Responsibilities

Next Step: Protect Your Custom Home Build with the Right Insurance
At Kimball Construction, we’re thrilled to help you build the home of your dreams. But before we dive into construction, it’s essential to make sure you have the right insurance coverage. Proper insurance protects your investment, reduces risks, and helps everything run smoothly. Let’s walk through what you need to know to get started.
Why Insurance Matters for Building a Custom Home
Building a custom home is exciting but also a big responsibility. From the very beginning, having the right insurance gives you peace of mind. It protects you from financial surprises and helps your project stay on track, no matter what challenges arise.
Here’s why insurance is so important:
- Protects Your Investment: Safeguards the money you’re spending on materials and labor.
- Prevents Delays: Covers unexpected events like weather damage or theft.
- Meets Requirements: Many lenders require insurance before they’ll approve a loan for construction.
By addressing insurance early, you’re setting yourself up for success.
Step 1: Check Your Existing Homeowner’s Insurance Policy
The first step is reviewing your current homeowner’s insurance policy. Even if you already have coverage for your current home, it won’t automatically apply to a new custom house under construction.
Here’s what you should ask your insurance provider:
- Will my current policy cover the new home once it’s finished?
- Do I need extra coverage during the construction phase?
- Can you help me understand what’s not included in my existing policy?
This conversation will help you figure out if you need additional coverage.
Step 2: Get Course of Construction Insurance
One of the most important policies for building a new home is course of construction insurance. This policy, often purchased by the homeowner, protects your project from start to finish. It ensures you’re covered in case of accidents, damage, or theft during construction.
What Does Course of Construction Insurance Cover?
Course of construction insurance includes several key protections:
- Structural Damage: Covers damage to the building caused by fire, storms, or vandalism.
- Materials and Equipment: Protects materials stored on-site or in transit.
- Liability Protection: Helps if someone gets injured on the construction site.
You’ll want to work with your insurance provider to customize this policy to fit your project’s needs.
Step 3: Confirm Your Contractor’s Insurance
At Kimball Construction, we believe in transparency and trust. That’s why we carry comprehensive insurance to protect you and our team. Here’s what you can expect from us:
- General Liability Insurance: Covers any damage caused by our work.
- Workers’ Compensation: Protects our employees if they’re injured while working on your home.
- Performance Bond: Guarantees the successful completion of your project.
We’re happy to provide proof of these policies so you can feel confident as we move forward.
Step 4: Check Subcontractors’ Insurance
Building a new custom home often involves subcontractors, like electricians, plumbers, and HVAC specialists. It’s crucial to make sure everyone on-site is insured. This step helps prevent gaps in coverage that could leave you responsible for unexpected costs.
At Kimball Construction, we carefully vet all subcontractors. We ensure they carry the appropriate insurance policies before they step foot on your property.
Step 5: Plan for Completion
As your new home takes shape, you’ll need to transition from course of construction insurance to a standard homeowner’s insurance policy. This is an exciting milestone! To prepare for this step, your insurance provider will likely ask for:
- The completion date for the project.
- Details about the home’s features, like square footage or special materials.
- An appraisal or inspection to determine the home’s value.
We’ll help you gather any information you need to make this process seamless.
Additional Coverage You May Need
Depending on your location, you might need extra insurance to cover specific risks. For example:
- Flood Insurance: Essential if your home is in a flood-prone area.
- Earthquake Insurance: A must-have in regions with seismic activity.
- Temporary Housing Coverage: Protects you if delays require you to stay elsewhere longer than planned.
We’ll work closely with you to identify any additional needs and recommend trusted insurance providers.

We’ve developed a step-by-step process to ensure we design a home addition that perfectly complements your needs, style, and unique features of your existing home. Here’s how it works:
Step 1: Share Your Vision Through Our Google Form

Step 2: Measure and Photograph Your Existing Home
Before moving forward with the design, we’ll need accurate measurements and photographs of your existing house. These details allow us to create a design that seamlessly integrates the addition with your current space.
Scheduling this step is simple! Visit our scheduling website to book a convenient time for us to measure and photograph your home. Click here to schedule your appointment.
Step 3: Reviewing and Refining Initial Concepts
Once we’ve gathered all the details—your completed Google Form and the measurements of your home—our design team will create initial drafts of the layout. These drafts will reflect your preferences, your home’s unique features, and our expertise in maximizing functionality and aesthetics.
Within a few days, we’ll share the preliminary concepts with you for review. This collaborative phase ensures we fine-tune the plans to meet your expectations. Adjustments might include:
- Reworking layouts to optimize space usage or traffic flow.
- Tweaking design elements for better integration with your existing home.
- Incorporating feedback on specific details, such as materials or architectural style.
Step 4: Finalizing Your Design Development Plans
After incorporating your feedback, we’ll finalize the design development plans. These comprehensive plans will guide the following stages of your project, including permitting, material selection, and construction.
Why Design Development Matters
This phase is where your vision truly starts to come to life. By measuring your home, understanding your needs, and refining the design, we’re setting the stage for a seamless construction process and a home addition that enhances your property in every way.

Next Step: Review & Sign Your Construction Contract Online
Congratulations! If you’re reading this, it means you’re moving forward with your construction project, and now it’s time to take the next step—signing a construction contract. At Kimball Construction, we know this is an exciting and sometimes overwhelming moment, but we’re here to guide you through each detail to ensure you feel confident and informed.
Why the Construction Contract Matters
The construction contract is more than a formal document; it’s the foundation of our partnership. This contract clearly defines the scope of work, timelines, payment terms, and any specific responsibilities both parties will uphold. By formalizing these details in writing, we establish mutual expectations, eliminate misunderstandings, and protect you, the client, and us, the contractor, throughout every project phase.
What You’ll Find in Our Contract
When you work with us, our construction contract includes several critical elements, beginning with a clear and detailed scope of work. This section outlines each task we’ll complete, the materials we’ll use, and any necessary details. Our goal is transparency so you know exactly what to expect.
We also clearly outline the payment terms so you know when and how payments will be made. Whether it’s a fixed-price contract, milestone-based, or cost-plus arrangement, we’ll help you choose a payment schedule that best suits your project’s needs.
The project timeline is another essential part of the contract. We provide estimated start and completion dates and work with you to account for any potential factors that may impact this timeline, such as weather, supply chain delays, or permitting requirements. By establishing a realistic timeline, we can help keep your project on track and address potential delays quickly if they arise.
The Change Order Process
Construction projects can change as they develop, so we include a straightforward change order process in our contracts. Suppose additional work becomes necessary or you decide to modify the project after we’ve begun. In that case, our change order system allows us to agree on the new scope, cost, and timeline adjustments. This helps us avoid misunderstandings and ensures that every change is managed fairly and efficiently.
Important Protections for Both Parties
Our contracts include specific protections to safeguard both you and our team. For example, we outline a dispute resolution process (like mediation or arbitration) to ensure a smooth resolution if any disagreements arise. You’ll also find clear insurance requirements and warranty details for our work. We want you to feel secure knowing that every aspect of the project is covered.
Reviewing and Signing Your Contract
Before you sign, please review every detail of the contract. Having a legal expert look it over can provide additional peace of mind if needed. Our team can also answer any questions or walk you through any sections you want to clarify.
When you’re ready to move forward, we make the signing process as simple as possible. For your convenience, the contract can be signed electronically, eliminating the need for in-person meetings or mailing documents. We’ll send you a secure email with a link to sign the contract digitally. This process saves time and ensures a secure and efficient way to formalize our agreement so we can begin work on your project without delay.
Once the contract is signed, we’ll send you an invoice for the initial deposit. This deposit is an important step that allows us to begin purchasing materials, scheduling our team, and preparing for the project kickoff. With the deposit in place, we can start the planning and coordination to bring your vision to life.
With a signed contract and deposit, we’re ready to move into the building phase. At Kimball Construction, we see this contract as a commitment to deliver excellence at every stage.
Next Step: Completing a Punch List
If you are like most people, you are probably excited and anxious to finish your project and are eager to complete the little things that remain. To complete these items as efficiently as possible, we create what is called a punch list. The punch list is simply a list of all the items that remain to be completed, and upon completion of those items, the project is then considered to be complete.
