As a homeowner, you want to make sure you are buying quality products for your northern Michigan home. The strength of the warranty is one way to gauge the quality of the replacement window or patio door. If the window warranty is full of loopholes, you might want to consider another company. So, what do you look for? Here’s some questions you will want to ask:
1. How long does the warranty last?
Most window companies have a limited lifetime warranty. But what are the limits? Some have a ten-year limit. Some have a twenty-year limit. Some cover the glass for one time period and the frames for another and the hardware for a different time frame. It can vary.
The Window Source of Western Michigan warranties our windows as long as you own your home, glass, frames, hardware. (There are a few common-sense exclusions. So, if your son burns down the house or runs his dune buggy though the patio door, it’s not covered.)
2. Do you include an installation warranty?
Many window manufacturers guarantee their windows with the following escape clause, “caused by improper installation.” Is that a way to get out of the warranty? They may say, “The installer didn’t install it right.”
The Window Source windows come with a Lifetime Labor Warranty. If we put it in, we guarantee we put it in right. Also, there is no service fee for a service call.
3. Does the product warranty or the installation warranty cost extra?
Some companies charge a fee for the warranty, ours is no extra charge.
4. Can I transfer the warranty if I sell my house?
Some companies offer a transferable warranty, some don’t. Our warranties are transferable.
