Monarch Homes offers an impressive list of standard features that are included in every home.
Monarch Homes Last a Lifetime!
A Lifetime of Warranties
Every Monarch Home comes standard with many warranties, including the 2-10 New Home Warranty Program. Unlike others offered and backed only by the builder, the 2-10 New Home Warranty Program provides you as a homeowner with comprehensive protection and peace of mind, providing up-front details on exactly what the warranty covers (below).
A Lifetime of Warranties on Quality Products
Dry Basement Guarantee—Lifetime (Limited) Warranty Foundation Waterproofing System
Monarch Homes uses a 2 part foundation waterproofing system (foundation spray waterproofing and
Delta-MS Membrane), which enables us to provide a Dry Basement Guarantee, ensuring your basement stays dry. This is also backed by a 3rd party lifetime warranty from the manufacturer’s certified installer.
Exterior Façade: ProVia® Manufactured Stone– Lifetime (Limited) Warranty and
James HardieTM Siding Products—30 Year Warranty
Our exteriors are expertly finished using ProVia Manufactured Stone and James HardieTM siding products (per plan). Our exteriors are designed to be low maintenance, durable, and long lasting for your convenience and peace of mind.
LP TopNotch350 Subflooring— 50 Year Warranty
Monarch Homes uses a high quality, premium subflooring, which includes a 50-year warranty and a
200-day no sand guarantee. This subflooring has water channels built in to drain water quickly
when it rains during the framing phase. We also nail, glue, and screw down each subfloor panel,
sand the edges, and also screw down each interior wall to prevent floor and wall squeaking. We
also use REAL WOOD dimensional lumber in the construction of the entire home including floor systems (no engineered floor systems that are bouncy), adding to the stability and soundness of our homes.
CertainTeed® Landmark Dimensional Roof Shingles—Lifetime (Limited) Warranty
Monarch Homes roof shingles are considered one of the most durable in the industry. With a
lifetime limited warranty from the manufacturer, these dual-layer shingles are rated with a
Class 3 impact resistance and Class A fire resistance, they are designed to provide durability
and aesthetics.
Pella® Windows and Sliding Glass Doors—Lifetime (Limited) Warranty
Monarch Homes is proud to offer Pella Windows and Sliding Glass Doors, one of the most recognized quality brands for windows and sliding glass doors in the industry. The Pella Windows we use come with a lifetime limited warranty, and are double hung, dual-paned Low-E, and Argon-filled for maximum energy efficiency.
