The builders the article is talking about do offer warranties, both of them.
Having a warranty is one thing, exercising is can be an entirely different challenge. There’s typically a one-year workmanship warranty and then longer warranties on HVAC/plumbing and structural/foundation. Materials and equipment in the home will have varying warranty periods on the item in question.

Which is the point of the second half of my comment and the link to an interview with folks that had this exact problem. (Also why I started with the word "theoretically", as how actual legal coverage works in practice can be different.)
I was attempting to move the discussion from a theoretical one to a concrete one by looking at an actual warranty document from one of the builders named in the article, it’s not hard to google “Lennar warranty” and paste a link to it so we’re discussing an actual tangible warranty instead of theorizing about hypotheticals.
