In the UK, the term home warranty refers to the warranty and insurance provided with new build homes by the likes of NHBC and.

Usually lasting for 10 years, the new home warranty and insurance protects the first or subsequent purchasers of the new build home against damage caused by structural defects that might arise as a consequence of poor workmanship during the build process.

Home repair involves the diagnosis and resolution of problems in a home, and is related to home maintenance to avoid such problems.

Many types of repairs are "do it yourself" (DIY) projects, while others may be so complicated, time-consuming or risky as to suggest the assistance of a qualified handyman, property manager, contractor/builder, or other professionals.

Repair is not necessarily the same as home improvement, although many improvements can result from repairs or maintenance.

Often the costs of larger repairs will justify the alternative of investment in full-scale improvements.

It may make just as much sense to upgrade a home system (with an improved one) as to repair it or incur ever-more-frequent and expensive maintenance for an inefficient, obsolete or dying system.

For a DIY project, it is also useful to establish limits on how much time and money you're willing to invest before deciding a repair (or list of repairs) is overwhelming and discouraging, and less likely to ever be completed.
