Warranty Compliance Guide – Why It Matters & How to Stay Aligned
Published by Scott Lehr, PA at RESF and The Listing TeamPosted on April 17, 2025

🧩 What Is Warranty Compliance (And Why It Matters)?
If you’re selling or servicing products under a manufacturer warranty, compliance isn’t just a legal box to check — it’s your safeguard against liability, customer dissatisfaction, and major financial losses.
Warranty compliance means following the specific rules and terms laid out by product manufacturers and federal law. It ensures that warranties are honored properly, claims are processed efficiently, and records are kept clean in case of audits.
💡 Non-compliance can lead to legal action, denied claims, and unhappy customers who won’t return.

📦 Why You Need a Manufacturer Requirements Database

✅ Track warranty terms like duration, parts coverage, and service requirements.
✅ Stay legally compliant with state and federal rules (like the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act).
✅ Speed up claims by referencing accurate data.
✅ Spot trends and quality issues with repair history analytics.

🔍 Think of it as your warranty “command center.”

🔧 How to Stay Warranty Compliant – Step-by-Step

Create Clear Policies – Clarify what’s covered, what’s not, and how to file claims.
Train Your Team – Ensure staff understands the warranty flow.
Keep Accurate Records – Track warranty periods, claim logs, and manufacturer responses.
Audit Regularly – Identify gaps and fix them before they hurt your compliance.
Stay Current on Regulations – Federal and industry rules change often — stay ahead.

Coastal Gutter Maintenance Guide

🧰 Coastal Gutter Maintenance Guide
Published by Scott Lehr, PA at RESF and The Listing Team

Why Coastal Gutters Need Special Care
If you live near the coast, your gutters battle more than just leaves and rain. Salt air, humidity, and sand wear down metal faster than inland environments. Proper gutter maintenance is crucial to prevent corrosion and protect your home from costly water damage.

Top Gutter Protection Strategies

Install Gutter Guards – Reduce debris buildup and frequency of cleanings.
Use Corrosion-Resistant Materials – Choose aluminum, vinyl, or stainless steel over galvanized steel.
Flush Gutters Regularly – Salt can crystalize inside downspouts. Flush with a hose monthly.
Seal Joints with Marine-Grade Sealant – Designed to resist salt corrosion and extreme moisture.
Anchor Gutters Securely – Salt air can loosen nails faster. Use stainless screws or brackets.

🎥 Watch: Gutter Maintenance Tips for Coastal Homes

Seasonal Maintenance Schedule
We recommend following this coastal gutter schedule:

Spring: Inspect for winter salt corrosion and reseal joints if needed.
Summer: Check anchors and screws before storm season begins.
Fall: Clear out leaves weekly and test for flow.
Winter: Rinse with fresh water monthly to remove salt buildup.
