Homecrest's Residential Limited Warranties apply to Homecrest products used in a residential setting only.

Homecrest's Commercial Limited Warranties apply to Homecrest products used in a commercial setting only.

All warranty periods begin from the original purchaser's date of purchase and are not transferable. All warranties apply only to Homecrest products shipped from the Homecrest factory after January 1, 2008 (product codes ending in –08 or later) and to those products that are maintained pursuant to the recommended care and maintenance instructions of the specific product purchased. The purchaser must register the product, residential or commercial, at myhomecrest.com within 60 days of purchase for the warranty to be activated. There is no Homecrest limited warranty to the purchaser who fails to register the product(s) purchased. Additionally, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, return freight is NOT covered under these Limited Warranties after one (1) year from the date of original purchase.

When submitting a warranty claim, a copy of the original sales receipt and the product code must be presented (photos may also be required). Any repair or modification of the product undertaken without prior written authorization from Homecrest will void this limited warranty. Any further warranty for a Homecrest-refinished or replaced product (already claimed under this limited warranty) shall only exist to that product for the remainder of the warranty period applicable to the original purchaser. For all warranty claims, return of damaged product will not be accepted by Homecrest without prior written approval.

  • Products shipped from the previous factory prior to January 1, 2008.
  • Glass and acrylic table tops.
  • Vinyl furniture covers.
  • Showroom samples and factory outlet purchases.

Additionally, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, these Limited Warranties on the products that are covered hereunder are limited to failures resulting only from normal usage and natural weathering and DO NOT cover damage or failure of products attributable to:

  • Acts of God, falling objects, fire, explosions, external forces, or any similar physical damage.
  • Failure of product caused by misuse or lack of appropriate care and maintenance of the products (including rust). Refer to the care and maintenance instructions.
  • Damage due to abuse or excessive wear and tear, including punctures or cuts, intentional or unintentional. 
  • Damage caused by caustic chemicals and/or power washers.
  • Normal fading of fabrics, straps, and painted surfaces.
  • Bursting and cracking of tubing and extrusion caused by exposure to moisture and freezing temperatures.

NOTICE: Warranty for any product covered by these Limited Warranties is automatically voided if any modification or alternation is performed on product that was originally sold or provided by Homecrest. Examples include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) the use of non-Homecrest approved and provided touch up paint; (2) altering of fire table burner systems, such as adding electronic ignition products or other devices not contained in the original product provided by Homecrest; or (3) attaching or using any hardware on a Homecrest product or component that was not originally sold or provided by Homecrest.

CLAIMS PROCEDURE
In the event that a warranty claim file needs to be opened, contact your local Homecrest retailer/commercial dealer to facilitate the process. If a local retailer/commercial dealer is not available, you may also contact Homecrest via our website here. 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 or commercial dealer is highly recommended, when possible. Many of our retailers and commercial dealers can fix and/or handle issues immediately, saving both time and expense in the warranty process.
