Why Warranty Shield Exists
Beginning as a carpenter apprentice in 1987, Scott Zellak, CMI®, spent nearly four decades managing quality control across 16 states before discovering a systemic gap: builders were exposed to enormous liability, homeowners were uninformed about their rights, and inspectors lacked standardized training. Warranty Shield was founded to close that gap.
Florida's Statute of Repose (§95.11) holds builders legally responsible for latent defects for up to 7 years. Without proper documentation, training, and third-party oversight, that exposure can be catastrophic. We provide the system that makes protection possible.
Inspector Training & Certification
Our RCPG-aligned curriculum prepares inspectors to identify latent defects, document findings, and meet the highest standards of the National Association of Home Builders.
Builder Risk Management
From the 1-Year Builder's Limited Warranty through the 7-Year Statute of Repose, we provide the documentation, training, and third-party oversight that protects builders from costly litigation.
Homeowner Protection
Every homeowner deserves to understand their warranty rights. Our Annual Asset Protect Inspection creates an immutable baseline that protects both the homeowner and the builder.
