Your promise to put right defects in your own work for a stated period after the job. Two things run alongside it: the manufacturer's warranty on the material, which is a separate promise from a separate party and is often void if the material was installed against instructions; and the standard of workmanship that consumer law implies in most places whether or not you wrote one down. What the law implies, and how long it lasts, varies by jurisdiction — and it generally cannot be signed away by a shorter written warranty.
This one depends on where you work
The rule behind warranty is set by the province or state the work is in, and the versions do not agree with one another. We have described the shape of it and deliberately not named a deadline, a cap or a percentage — check the rule where you work, or ask someone who practises there.
