As this pandemic continues, we understand the need to be flexible and adapt in an effort to continually provide the best possible service, while keeping our staff and customers safe. As such, we will update this page as covid mandates/recommendations change and provide information that may affect our business and the services we offer.
UPDATED MARCH 15, 2022
Office Status: Our office is open. A mask is not required to be in the building or in our office, but is recommended. Please social distance by remaining at least 6 feet away from others in our office.
Courier Service: Available during office hours: 8:30 am to 4:30 pm., Monday to Friday.
Inspections: Site visits (inspections/warranty claim assessments) will resume. However, we acknowledge that everyone has a different level of comfort with the current health regulations. Should you have any concerns in this regard, please let us know so we can make adjustments accordingly. To discuss onsite inspections/warranty claim assessments, please contact our Warranty Manager/Inspector, Jay Kent at our office at 204-453-1155 or via mobile at 204-781-3467 or via email jay@mbnhwp.com.
Regarding warranty claims, we ask that homeowners provide adequate photos/videos to illustrate alleged defects. This will help reduce the number of required visits to homes and/or the time in the home. If it becomes necessary to come to your home to do an inspection, Jay will be wearing a mask, and we recommend that you wear a mask as well (but not required). Please practice social distancing. If you are uncomfortable with us attending your home, the inspection may be done remotely via videoconferencing.
Regarding builder construction inspections, please continue to contact Jay to arrange required inspections in accordance with your Mandatory Inspection Requirement. Jay will be wearing a mask and we recommend that the representative being met on site be wearing a mask (but not required). Social distancing must be adhered to. At Jay’s discretion, the inspection may be done remotely using videoconferencing.
Warranty Claims: We have had inquires about whether warranty coverage can be extended due to COVID. Coverage periods will not be extended. They remain the same per section 2 of the Warranty and time limits for the submission of a warranty claim also remain the same (section 18 – 23 of the Warranty). Please note that warranty repairs may become delayed due to difficulties ordering products, limited availability of trades, and other issues related to the pandemic. We expect this, and it will not affect your warranty claim, as long as your claim has been properly submitted to our office within your coverage period and we are aware of the delays. Also, note that your builder will have their own policies concerning entering your home due to COVID Please respect these policies. If you have questions or concerns about how COVID is affecting your warranty claim/repairs, please contact Lori Crandell at 204-453-1155 or lori@mbnhwp.com.
