• 3 - What is the claims procedure?

  In the event that a warranty claim file needs to be opened, contact your local Homecrest retailer to facilitate the process. If a local retailer is not available, you may also contact Homecrest via our website by going to  www.myhomecrest.com. Warranty for any refinished or replaced product shall be only for the remainder of the warranty period applicable to the original product. During the warranty process, you may be required to either return the defective merchandise or provide proof of destruction. Working through your local retailer is highly recommended, when possible. Many of our retailers can fix and/or handle issues immediately, saving you both time and expense in the warranty process.
