Understanding Your Replacement Window Warranty

When you purchase new windows for your home, you need to guarantee that they are at least covered by a manufacturer or the contractor who will install them for you. This way, you will pay little to nothing to replace your replacement units in case they are defective. Today, your home replacement windows team will enlighten you more about warranties and their importance. 

The Elements Of Window Warranties

  1. Lifetime warranties: This does not necessarily mean coverage for a lifetime but the actual amount of time your manufacturer determines your windows can hold up to their projected service life.

  2. Transferability: It should be noted that while warranties have different features and coverages, they may or may not be transferable too. This kind of warranty is essential when maintaining your home’s added value upon getting a window replacement.

  3. Window contractor warranties: This usually includes free labor and installation features for a certain duration. If you’re getting a casement window replacement, you can ask your contractor ahead of time about this.

Evaluating These Warranties

Why are warranties important? Any type of warranty provided to you gives the assurance, convenience, and confidence that if their purchase does not perform as expected, it will be replaced or fixed at no extra cost.

Fortunately, every Renewal by Andersen® replacement window we install is covered by a fully transferable limited warranty that includes parts, labor, and original installation services. This includes a 20-year limited warranty for Fibrex® and glass, a 10-year limited warranty for the frame, sash, and locking mechanism, and a lifetime warranty on installation.

At Renewal by Andersen of Rapid City, we believe all our clients deserve the very best, which is why we stand behind every replacement window and patio door we install. If you’re calling for awning windows installation, do not hesitate to reach us at (605) 307-5574 or here. We serve clients in Rapid City, SD, as well as the surrounding areas.
