Whats A Good Warranty On Replacement Windows?
Most replacement window companies will throw out a phrase like “a lifetime” when you ask how long your warranty lasts. This sounds like what you want to hear, but it leaves way too much information unclear concerning your warranty. The following is a list of questions your window company should be able to answer. • Who backs the window warranty: you or the manufacturer? • What does “lifetime” mean exactly? The window’s lifetime? The houses’ lifetime? How long I live in the house? Is the window AND the installation covered? • Is your window warranty pro-rated? • Does a warranty issue still result in a service charge? • Is the warranty transferrable if I sell my house? If so, is there an additional cost? • Is accidental glass breakage covered? • If a screen tears, does the warranty cover screen replacement? • Does your company have a full-time service technician for warranty issues? Is the service department open 24 – 7 – 365 for emergencies? Though these questions will serve you well in
