Heading: implied warranty of workmanlike service

Text: I also agree with the majority that the circuit court did not err in granting summary judgment to both defendants on Homeowners' workmanlike-service claims. The implied warranty of workmanlike service is a service warranty created at common law. See Parkway Co. v. Woodruff, 901 S.W.2d 434, 438 (Tex.1995). Here, the asserted liability of both defendants relates to their being sellers of goods. Assuming that one or both defendants provided some service, it was incidental to the sale of goods. Any breach-of-warranty claim in this case therefore falls within the specific warranty provisions in article 2 of the U.C.C. See Plantation Shutter Co. v. Ezell, 328 S.C. 475, 478-80, 492 S.E.2d 404, 406-07 (Ct.App.1997) (discussing and applying the predominant factor test for determining whether the U.C.C. or the common law of contracts governs); see also Hitachi Elec. Devices (USA), Inc. v. Platinum Tech., Inc., 366 S.C. 163, 170, 621 S.E.2d 38, 41 (2005) (discussing and applying displacement of the common law when the U.C.C. comprehensively addresses a particular subject).
