    How Much Do You Understand About Your Window Warranty?

    Getting replacement windows for your entire house is a big-ticket investment that can pay off in spades. Aside from the advantages in energy efficiency the new replacement windows can bring, you’ll also be increasing the value of your home and improving your curb appeal. However, this project is also not without its costs. With so many factors at play during a window replacement, it makes sense that you would want everything to go according to plan.

    Window Warranty

    Unfortunately, like with many home improvement and construction projects, sometimes, things don’t go as planned. For these situations, many window installation companies offer warranties to help you protect your investment. Let our experts at Renewal by Andersen® of Long Island help you understand a few warranty basics to help you choose the right one for your replacement windows.

    Types of Warranties

    Windows are often covered by two types of warranties: materials and labor.

    • Materials warranties cover any factory-defects that might jeopardize the use and performance of your replacement windows. That is its most common coverage; however, it also offers protection against a number of other problems including the material for the window frames, glass panels, glazing, hardware and other related accessories.
    • Labor warranties, on the other hand, have more to do with the installation process. Labor warranties are often provided by the company that completed the installation. This means any problems arising from potential contractor mistakes, breakage, and handling problems, among many others, will be covered by a labor warranty.

    All-in-One Service

    Because of how warranties work, it’s easy to see the benefit of dealing with a company that provides warranties for both the material and the labor. For example, when a problem surfaces in your new double-hung windows, whether it’s with the window itself or the way it was installed, you only need to deal with one company. This can simplify the process greatly and leave you more time to enjoy your brand-new window replacement.

    At Renewal by Andersen® of Long Island, our professionals can provide you with warranties for both materials and labor. Give us a call at (866) 609-5033 or fill out our contact form and request a free estimate today. We serve homeowners in Long Island and other surrounding communities.
