No home warranty. I had to deal with 3 banks when buying it. But, it doubled in value after I bought it. So, we're in it right. And, Fortunately, we have a friend who's a handyman of sorts that's able to fix most everything. Siding is pricey!!!! Did you do concrete board or vinyl? Most of the big things that had to be replaced, I was aware of and dealt with it early. Now it's just little stuff...

I got concrete board. It's very expensive but beautiful and far more durable than the T111 I had. Also woodpecker proof which is a problem in my neighborhood. Doing all that out of pocket. Hence, one side per year

Concrete board is the best! Totally worth the money! Fortunately, that's what we have. About the only thing we haven't had problems with!
