Countertop Warranty


The work done by Houstone Enterprises Ltd., is based by our 1 year limited warranty. Details of the warranty are below.

 

For all manufacturer warranties, please visit their respective websites for more information.

What Does This Warranty Cover?

This warranty applies to the fabrication and installation of Houstone Enterprises Ltd. materials that have been permanently installed in owner-occupied residential only.

We will repair or replace, at our option, any defects in materials, fabrication, or installation with the same grade and quality of materials as the original using an acceptable color match, accepting that there are natural variations in veining and color with natural stone or batch differences in color with cabinetry.

This warranty covers seam performance, but not the appearance of the seam.

What Does This Warranty Not Cover?

This warranty does not cover natural characteristics of stone which include, but are not limited to natural color variations, water lines or physical properties (fissures, surface pits, blemishes) that are normal and natural for some stones. If, after or during installation, you decide that you do not like the colors you selected or the natural stone variations and veining of your installation, replacement is not covered by this warranty.

This warranty does not cover countertops that have been moved from their original, permanently installed location.
 

This warranty does not cover damage to your countertop or cabinetry caused by items out of our control such as:

 

Chemical abuse, including but not limited to, surface etching by:

  • Leaving acidic or aggressive chemicals in contact with the material

  • Use of improper cleaning solutions

  • Caring and maintaining your countertop or cabinets and its doors improperly

 

Physical abuse, including but not limited to, surface chipping, cracking, scratching caused by negligence and abuse such as:

  • Excessive loading or dropping of heavy objects on the countertop or cabinetry.

  • Standing on the countertop or cabinetry.

  • House settling or foundation movement due to any cause.

  • Cabinet movement due to any cause.

  • Water damage.

  • Damage caused by fire, tornados, or other acts of nature.

  • Cracking or shrinking of flexible caulks due to age or thermal movement of the home.

  • Seam failure due to settling or structural issues unrelated to the countertop installation.

  • Damage from acts of vandalism.

  • Damage from excessive heat.

  • Uneven exposure to weather conditions.

  • Jobsite conditions or trades abusing your countertops; for example, standing on, hammering on.

  • Architectural and engineering design.

  • Ordinary wear and tear.

​

Cabinet Refacing:

  • This warranty does not include coverage on any cabinet boxes. Cabinet Refacing is just the method of replacing the doors on a cabinet box. This includes but is not limited to warping, hinges not staying in place due to the previous hole in the cabinet box being enlarged, differences in color, etc.

 

What is the Period of Coverage?

The period of coverage is the first 1 year from the date of installation completion.

Houstone Enterprises Ltd’s warranty is non-transferable to subsequent owners of your home.

Should we elect to repair or replace your countertop or cabinetry, your warranty will continue from the original date of installation and not from the date of repair or replacement.

What Will We Do to Correct Problems?

We will repair or replace countertops or cabinetry including necessary labour charges needed to repair or replace the countertop covered by this warranty. This excludes any labour charges including (but not limited to) other trades such as electrical, mechanical, plumbing, contractor, etc. Labour charges by other trades are the sole responsibility of the customer.

We will repair any area of the installation that is determined by us to be defective.

We will pay for the cost of the product, labour involved in the removal and replacement of original installation. You will be responsible for any other costs associated with or arising out of the repair or replacement such as (but not exclusive to) plumbing and electrical disconnect and reconnect charges to the extent determined necessary by us.
