The Part of Your Home You Don’t See (But Should Care About)

When most people picture their new home, they think about the big stuff — open kitchens, custom cabinetry, natural light. But the things that truly make a home last? Those are usually the parts you don’t see.

We’re talking about the structure, the systems, and all the details buried behind the drywall that keep your home standing strong and running smoothly for decades.

That’s why every Mitton Signature Home comes with an Atlantic Home Warranty — a program designed to protect homeowners long after the final walk-through.

Why We’re Part of Atlantic Home Warranty

We’ve built hundreds of homes across Nova Scotia, and we know how important it is for homeowners to feel confident that what’s behind the paint and trim is built to last.

As a registered member of Atlantic Home Warranty (AHW), Mitton Signature Homes meets rigorous standards for quality, accountability, and ongoing education. It’s a commitment we make with every build — because doing things right the first time is only part of the job. Standing behind it is the rest.

What It Covers

Here’s what every Mitton home includes under the AHW program:

• 1-Year Builder Warranty
  Covers defects in materials or workmanship during your first year of ownership.

• 2-Year Delivery & Distribution Systems Warranty
  Protects electrical, plumbing, and mechanical systems — the essentials that keep your home comfortable and efficient.

• 3-Year Water Penetration Warranty (for qualified builders)
  Covers leaks through windows, doors, and exterior deck attachments when installed to AHW standards.

• 10-Year Major Structural Defect Warranty
  Protects the structure of your home for up to $70,000, including engineering fees, with no deductible.

• Living Out Allowance
  Covers temporary living expenses if a major structural issue ever makes your home uninhabitable.

And if something ever does go sideways, AHW offers conciliation support — a fair and transparent process for resolving issues between the builder and homeowner.

Why It Matters

Not every builder offers this kind of coverage. To qualify, builders have to prove their financial stability, demonstrate a record of quality, and stay up to date with building standards. It’s not a small thing — it’s a mark of trust.

For homeowners, that means your investment is protected not just by the people who built it, but by one of the most respected warranty programs in Atlantic Canada.

You don’t have to see every beam or wire to know it’s done right. That’s our job — and with an Atlantic Home Warranty, it’s backed up in writing.
