FAQ
In California, the statute of repose is four years for most defects, but 10 years for latent defects (those that aren't observable right away, such as a faulty foundation). In Georgia, the statute of repose is eight years for all claims related to design or construction of the building.
Contracts often don't include express references to latent defects, and asset owners and operators can pursue damages when the contractor or builder is deemed or thought to be negligent. In other scenarios, designers and contractors may be liable for latent defects for between 6 and 12 years.

Most contractors do offer some kind of guarantee on their work, because doing so protects their interests as well as your own.
