With TaskTag’s warranty tracking system, you can document, assign, and resolve warranty claims directly inside your project workspace—no extra tools needed. Who this is for: Builders, contractors, project managers, field supervisors, or warranty coordinators managing post-construction service and warranty claims. What this solves: Warranty requests are more than just service calls — they’re a legal and reputational risk. Poorly documented or mismanaged warranty claims can lead to client disputes, contract breaches, or even legal action. TaskTag offers a way to organize, document, and respond to warranty issues clearly and efficiently — minimizing liability and protecting your team. ## Common Challenges in Construction Warranty Management Warranty issues don’t just test your craftsmanship — they test your process. Even on well-executed jobs, clients may call weeks or months later about: - A leak during a storm - Cracks in drywall - Doors or windows warping - HVAC or plumbing performance - Cosmetic flaws that weren’t caught earlier The real problem isn’t just the issue itself — it’s the **risk that comes with how it’s handled**: - Warranty requests come in by text, email, or phone and get lost - No one assigns or owns the issue - There’s no paper trail of what the client said or what was done - Clients get frustrated, feel ignored, and escalate - You expose your company to **reputation damage**, **chargebacks**, or even **legal disputes** ## How to Streamline Warranty Tracking with TaskTag With TaskTag, you can: - Use the **existing project and chat group** to keep all warranty communication centralized - Create a **dedicated task for each warranty issue** - Include photos, description, assignment, and schedule - Share the task with the client as a viewer — so they’re informed but not overwhelmed - Keep all updates, comments, and signatures **timestamped and organized** - Resolve the issue professionally — with full documentation for your records ## Step 1: Use the Project Chat to Manage Client Warranty Requests ![Step 1 - Use the Project Chat to Manage Client Warranty Requests](https://blog.tasktag.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Step%201%20-%20Use%20the%20Project%20Chat%20to%20Manage%20Client%20Warranty%20Requests.png?width=900&height=568&name=Step%201%20-%20Use%20the%20Project%20Chat%20to%20Manage%20Client%20Warranty%20Requests.png) If you already created a project and chat group during the build (e.g. 'Smith Residence'), continue using it to handle warranty requests. This keeps all project-related communication — including warranty work — in one searchable channel. If you haven't already, make sure to [create a project](https://scribehow.com/viewer/How_Projects_Are_Assigned_to_Teams_in_TaskTag__XGZPfWgATEKXfEUVwRoekA?scrollToActionId=70c43886) and [connect with your client and team on TaskTag](https://scribehow.com/viewer/Get_Connected_with_Someone_New_in_TaskTag__GSJzuX26TSarw7kIVyVLyQ) to help keep things organized! ## Step 2: Create a Task for Every New Warranty Issue ![Step 2 - Create a Task for Every New Warranty Issue](https://blog.tasktag.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Step%202%20-%20Create%20a%20Task%20for%20Every%20New%20Warranty%20Issue.png?width=901&height=568&name=Step%202%20-%20Create%20a%20Task%20for%20Every%20New%20Warranty%20Issue.png) Each issue should be tracked individually. Name the task clearly: - Warranty - Front Door Not Latching - Warranty - Water Stains in Living Room - Warranty - AC Not Cooling Bedroom This creates a clear record of what was reported, when, and how it was resolved ## Step 3: Document the Warranty Problem with Notes and Tags ![Step 3 - Document the Warranty Problem with Notes and Tags](https://blog.tasktag.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Step%203%20-%20Document%20the%20Warranty%20Problem%20with%20Notes%20and%20Tags.png?width=900&height=568&name=Step%203%20-%20Document%20the%20Warranty%20Problem%20with%20Notes%20and%20Tags.png) Use the task description to include: - The client’s original message or complaint - When it was reported - Who it was reported to - Any instructions or site access notes - Any related warranty limitations (if applicable) For example: > “Client reported water stains appearing during heavy rain on 6/28. Noticed in dining room ceiling. Roof was installed by \[Subcontractor Name\].” ## Step 4: Assign the Warranty Repair Task to Your Team or Subcontractor ![Step 4 - Assign the Warranty Repair Task to Your Team or Subcontractor](https://blog.tasktag.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Step%204%20-%20Assign%20the%20Warranty%20Repair%20Task%20to%20Your%20Team%20or%20Subcontractor.png?width=901&height=568&name=Step%204%20-%20Assign%20the%20Warranty%20Repair%20Task%20to%20Your%20Team%20or%20Subcontractor.png) Assign to: - Your internal field supervisor or warranty manager - The relevant subcontractor or vendor (e.g. roofer, plumber) This ensures responsibility is clear and the issue doesn’t fall through the cracks. You will need to [connect with them](https://scribehow.com/viewer/Get_Connected_with_Someone_New_in_TaskTag__GSJzuX26TSarw7kIVyVLyQ) to assign them to the task ahead of time, though. ## Step 5: Schedule Warranty Work with Due Dates and Notifications **![Step 5 - Schedule Warranty Work with Due Dates and Notifications](https://blog.tasktag.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Step%205%20-%20Schedule%20Warranty%20Work%20with%20Due%20Dates%20and%20Notifications.png?width=900&height=569&name=Step%205%20-%20Schedule%20Warranty%20Work%20with%20Due%20Dates%20and%20Notifications.png)** - **Start Date** = Date the issue was reported - **Due Date** = Target resolution date (based on urgency or contractual response time) ## Step 6: Add Photos, Videos, and Progress Updates in Real Time ![Step 6 - Add Photos, Videos, and Progress Updates in Real Time](https://blog.tasktag.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Step%206%20-%20Add%20Photos%2c%20Videos%2c%20and%20Progress%20Updates%20in%20Real%20Time.png?width=901&height=569&name=Step%206%20-%20Add%20Photos%2c%20Videos%2c%20and%20Progress%20Updates%20in%20Real%20Time.png) Photos provide visual proof of: - The issue (before repair) - The completed fix (after repair) - Any access issues or site conditions - Signed repair tickets or service receipts Make sure to tag all updates in the chat using the project hashtag (e.g. #Smith\_Residence) so they’re automatically attached to the task! ## Step 7: Share Warranty Status with the Client via TaskTag ![Step 7 - Share Warranty Status with the Client via TaskTag](https://blog.tasktag.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Step%207%20-%20Share%20Warranty%20Status%20with%20the%20Client%20via%20TaskTag.png?width=901&height=569&name=Step%207%20-%20Share%20Warranty%20Status%20with%20the%20Client%20via%20TaskTag.png) You can share the task with the client as a **viewer** (free), so they can: - See progress and updates - Add comments or approvals - Feel confident the issue is being addressed professionally Ideally you should already be connected with the client, so sharing the task should be easy; if not, [follow this guide](https://scribehow.com/viewer/Get_Connected_with_Someone_New_in_TaskTag__GSJzuX26TSarw7kIVyVLyQ) to connect with them easily. ## Example: Tracking and Resolving a Leaking Window Warranty Claim **Project:** `Smith Residence` **Task:** `Warranty - Upstairs Bedroom Window Leak` | Field | Example | | --- | --- | | Description | “Client reported leak after storm on 6/28.
