  • Your New Maronda Home!
    Welcome to your new Maronda Home! Your new Maronda Home is the product of skilled workmanship, combined with quality materials and we are confident you will find it all that you hoped it would be. By now, you have completed your Pre-Settlement Inspection and very carefully inspected the kitchen cabinets, plumbing fixtures, windows, flooring, appliances, lighting fixtures, and siding for scratches or chips. These items cannot be replaced or corrected after you have had your pre-settlement inspection. We also hope that you paid close attention to all of the supervisor’s instructions, particularly on how to light and care for the furnace and water heater. Our Warranty Service Manager will make a final inspection with you six months after the pre-settlement closing. The purpose of this final inspection is to arrange for repairs on materials which we, as builders, agree to correct. A list of items that need repair, or any questions that you may have, should be presented in writing to Maronda Homes, Inc prior to the six month final inspection. Normally, final repairs and adjustments can be completed within a 30 day period, weather permitting. Only emergency items will be repaired before the final inspection. Please be advised that the one year drywall inspection is to be called in by you the homeowner, if this inspection is wanted. Every Maronda home complies in full with the rigid building codes of your community. The result is a home constructed with a high standard of quality. Like a new automobile, however, your home requires careful “breaking in,” particularly during the early months of occupancy.
