[CLC-Discussion] Residential contractor warranty

[Steve Thompson]

Hello folks,

	I have a relative who is a residential contractor.  He made
reference to what he believed was a statutory requirement that residential
builders provide a warranty of a minimum of one year to the owner.  Most of
my practice involves commercial payment issues (i.e. liens and surety bond
claims).  I reviewed Fl. Stat. ch 558 but did not see such a requirement.
Is anyone aware of such a statute and, if so, could you provide a citation?

Thank you very much.
