Warranty & workmanship

Understand what covers your windows.

The manufacturer's warranty covers the product. Our workmanship guarantee covers installation. Here is how the two fit together, and which details to confirm for your specific windows.

Two kinds of coverage

The window itself

Every window in our catalog comes with the manufacturer's standard warranty, which varies by brand and tier.

See the product overview

The installation work

Separate from the manufacturer warranty, our installation is backed by our own workmanship guarantee.

Manufacturer warranty

These are typical tier descriptions. The exact coverage depends on the manufacturer and product; a tier alone does not establish your warranty terms.

Good Tier

Typically 20-year limited warranty on glass seal and frame

Better Tier

Typically 25-year to limited lifetime warranty

Best Tier

Typically lifetime limited warranty with transferable coverage

What should I confirm for my selected window?

Review the product-specific warranty terms before buying. Confirm the covered components, duration, exclusions and any transfer conditions for your exact model.

The typical descriptions above do not provide a complete set of manufacturer terms or exclusions.

Installation workmanship guarantee

Our installation coverage describes the following work:

Seal & weatherproofing

If a window leaks due to improper installation, we fix it at no cost.

Fit & operation

If a window doesn't open, close, or lock correctly due to installation, we fix it.

Cosmetic finish

Interior and exterior trim installed by our crew is covered.

Check the complete terms.

This overview does not specify the workmanship guarantee's duration or full exclusions. Confirm those details for your project before buying; do not assume the manufacturer's warranty period also applies to installation.
