5 Things Every Good Window Warranty Should Have

When selecting new windows or doors for your Kansas City home, you should understand the warranty that comes with them. Since not all window warranties are created equal, knowing what is covered and how long the coverage will last is essential to making an informed purchase decision. In this post, we share five things you should look for in a good warranty.

1. Period of Warranty

Many warranties only last one year or less, while some manufacturers offer coverage for up to 10 years or more. To determine how long your warranty will cover your windows, don’t forget to read the fine print and ask questions.

2. Coverage for Parts and Labor

If your warranty only covers the cost of replacing parts, you will be responsible for any associated labor costs. As such, make sure that your warranty covers both parts and labor. This way, you are not left with unexpected bills down the line.

3. Clear Definition of Covered Items

The ideal warranty should have a clear definition of coverage. Some warranties are vague, leaving it up to interpretation as to what exactly is and isn’t included. As a homeowner, you should invest in a warranty that outlines the specific components covered.

4. Transferability to New Owners

If you plan to sell your home in the future, it’s best to get a transferable warranty. This type of warranty makes it easier for both the new and old owners of the house to maintain the integrity of their windows. It’s also a great feature to attract homebuyers!

5. Accidental Damage Protection 

Many homeowners find peace of mind knowing their windows and doors are protected against accidental damage caused by unforeseen events like storms or accidents. For this reason, look for warranties that offer coverage for accidental damage such as breakage due to hail stones or other objects striking the glass. No matter the type of damage, rest assured that your investment will remain secure.
