warranty resolution/CLAIMS

Q: My homeowners and I have reached an impasse. How do they initiate the warranty resolution process?

A: Every MHWC warranty book contains a detailed description of the warranty resolution procedures which must be followed to formally begin the dispute process. MHWC must receive written documentation from the Homeowner in the format specified. This notice may be sent in writing to the administrator's address or by email to warranty.resolution@mhwconline.com. For convenience, resolution inquiries may be started online.

Q: Does MHWC ever inspect the issues?

A: Yes, depending upon the issue and if the Insurer is the Warrantor, MHWC, as the Administrator, may perform an inspection of the disputed issues. MHWC also reserves the right to perform an inspection at any time following receipt of proper notice of the request for warranty performance.

Q: What is "warranty resolution"?

A: When there is an issue with the home, a lack of communication between the homeowner and the manufacturer/builder is often the root of a dispute. Frequently, MHWC is able to resolve disputes simply by taking on the role of mediator to assist the other parties in coming up with a fair and reasonable agreement, based on the warranty standards provided. An integral part of MHWC’s warranty resolution process is mediating disputes between Members and Homeowners, before going onto formal arbitration or costly litigation.

Mediation – an informal process involving the MHWC Member, the Homeowner and MHWC during the Member’s term of responsibility. No fees are assessed during this initial process.

Arbitration – a formal process conducted by a neutral, independent arbitrator to resolve disputes if resolution is not reached during mediation. MHWC chooses arbitrators with experience in arbitrating residential construction matters. The arbitrator’s decision is binding on all parties, unless prohibited by law. Arbitration fees are initially paid by the homeowner but the final decision on payment is made by the arbitrator.
