Once you have decided to build a new pole barn or other custom agricultural buildings in Kentucky, you will need to choose the best pole barn builders in Kentucky. One of the most important features of any new building is the warranty. However, not all warranties are the same. We strongly suggest you ask these four questions as you consider the different building warranties available.

#1 – What Parts of the Barn are Covered?

In many cases, workmanship, structure, siding, doors, and windows all have different warranties. If you choose to finish out your barn’s interior, HVAC systems, flooring, water heaters, etc., also have independent warranties. If a builder tells you that the “structure” has a forty-year warranty, make sure you ask what exactly they mean. The “structure” of a pole barn often refers to only the wooden frame––not the entire building.

#2 – How Long Does the Warranty Last?

Warranties on building materials are often 10, 20, 40, or 50 years long. Ask for clarification from your builder and read the fine print carefully. Does the warranty cover full-replacement costs, including labor, for the entire warranty period? Is coverage pro-rated? Most warranties are straightforward, and most builders don’t want to be dishonest. However, it is your responsibility to ask questions and ensure you understand the terms correctly. A successful builder won’t pay for repairs not covered under the warranty just because you misunderstood.

#3 – Will My Builder Be Around to Handle Warranty Claims?

The most efficient way of handling a warranty claim is through the original builder. However, not all barn builders survive the 30, 40, or 50 years stipulated in their warranty contracts. Choose a well-known builder that has been around a while and avoid any unknown or new builders who just blew into town.

#4 – Is the Warranty Transferable?

Many warranties are only valid for the original owner and are non-transferable. If you intend to build and sell in the next few years or if you intend to transfer your property into the hands of your children one day, you need to know if the warranty is transferrable.
