Understanding What to Look for in a Window Warranty

When it comes to window replacement, one of the first things you need to consider is the warranty. It is, after all, written proof of a manufacturer and contractor’s confidence in their product and service. It serves as a lifeline to getting things fixed in the off-chance something goes wrong with your investment. 

So, what should a replacement window warranty entail? Renewal by Andersen® of Rapid City explains what you need to know.

Workmanship, Labor, and Installation Coverage

If you choose quality windows, you won’t likely encounter any installation issues throughout its life span. However, it’s still important to find good coverage on the warranty. Although it may vary from one window product to another, a good warranty must include coverage for the labor and installation. This is to cover any unexpected issues that may appear after installation which can happen after a few months to even several years.

A typical window product can have a three- to a five-year warranty on both labor and installation. But when you choose Renewal by Andersen windows you get a 10-year limited installation warranty! We’ll install your windows professionally and efficiently so you won’t have to worry about leaks or drafts for many years. And if they’re damaged or compromised within the warranty period due to subpar installation, we’ll bring the quality up to standards for free.

Window Product Coverage

Also found in a typical window warranty, this provides coverage for manufacturer defects after installation. Specifically, you’re covered for replacement parts if they fail in your window due to manufacturing defects. They only cover certain types, however, so if your windows get damaged due to abuse or neglect of maintenance, you won’t be covered.
