After substantial completion, the GC gives warranties to the owner. A defective window is then found. Who’s responsibility is this, the owner or GC?

Contractor’s warranty extends after substantial completion until expiration of applicable statue of limitations period — in addition, one year correction period exists. Thus Owner must give prompt notice to Contractor and opportunity to fix. The one year period is extended by work after substantial completion but not by corrected work. (ch 12, A201)
