Making sure to get a warranty for your replacement windows is a priority. Windows can be an expensive purchase, and warranties will protect you from production flaws and installation errors. Remember that a reputable contractor would not hesitate to provide comprehensive warranties since the company is confident in its work and materials. To help you understand more about windows warranty, Renewal by Andersen® of San Francisco is here to discuss the importance of securing yours.
Warranties ensure that a contractor and its product or service meet a required standard. If the product or service fails to reach that standard, you have the right to repair or replace it. As long as your contractor or manufacturer backs the products with comprehensive warranties, you’ll be assured that any problems that occur will be resolved and any faulty workmanship will be rectified.
You can find out more about warranties provided by your contractors if you ask them the correct questions. Inquire whether all of their window installation and products are covered by a guarantee and how long it will last. Determine whether the warranty’s coverage is limited or comprehensive and whether it includes labor. You should also ask how quickly they can fix or replace your replacement windows if an issue arises while it is still under warranty.
There are different types of warranties, and not all are created equal. Some warranties are prorated, which means that their coverage diminishes over time. In addition, there are warranty terms that are expiration-limited and others that are effective for a specified number of years only.
The coverage and limitations of window warranties differ by manufacturer and contractor. A window warranty may only cover the hardware and not the glass or frame in some situations. You should clarify this information with your contractor. Make sure to carefully study the fine print, and check for any loopholes before you sign and finalize your windows replacement warranty.
