Warranty's "Add Value"

Protect your Investment

We have performed significant due diligence to assure our product brands are backed by the best and most comprehensive warranties in the industry. The nature of our business is such, that in some cases, window & door products are exposed to construction elements for sometime before the structure is completely weatherproof. A proactive approach in terms of protecting and finishing (if applicable) the product reduces warranty claims and extends the life of the product and is always recommended. Skip to warranties.

When you make a major purchase, the manufacturer and seller makes an important promise to stand behind the product. We take this seriously. Federal law requires that warranties be available for you to read before you buy. Coverage varies, so you can compare the extent of warranty coverage just as you compare the style, price, and other characteristics of products. Although not required by law, written warranties come with most major purchases.

Compare Warranties

When comparing written warranties, keep the following in mind:

  • How long does the warranty last? Check the warranty to see when it begins and when it expires, as well as any conditions that may void coverage.
  • Is the Warranty Transferable?
  • What product components does it cover and for how long?
  • Who do you contact to get warranty service? 
  • What will the Manufacturer do if the product fails? Read to see whether the company will repair the item, replace it, or refund your money.
  • What parts and repair problems are covered? Check to see if any parts of the product or types of repair problems are excluded from coverage.
  • Look for conditions that could prove expensive or inconvenient, such as a requirement that you maintain exterior finishes monthly at your expense.
  • Are there any conditions or limitations on the warranty? Some warranties provide coverage only if you maintain or use the product as directed.
