The Important Things to Know bout the Warranty Included with the Replacement Windows We Sell in San Diego

If you’re like most people, you probably don’t take the time to read the entire warranty of the products you purchase. They are long, boring documents, full of legal terms and written in tiny print.

In this blog post, we’ll go over some of the most important aspects of the warranty that comes with the replacement windows we sell at BM Windows. Then, as you compare our windows to the windows sold by other companies, you can see which warranty will best meet your needs in case you ever need to use it.

Lifetime or Double Lifetime Warranty Period

The first thing you want to know about a window warranty is how long it lasts. At BM Windows, all of the windows we sell come with at least a lifetime warranty, and some even come with a double lifetime warranty. A lifetime warranty covers your windows for as long as you own your home. A double lifetime warranty does this as well, but can also be passed on to the next owner of your home.

Some window defects don’t show up for a while, so a shorter warranty period may not be sufficient. If a defect pops up after your warranty period has expired, you will be on the hook for what could be a very expensive repair. Even if you don’t purchase replacement windows from our company, we recommend you purchase products that come with at least a lifetime warranty!

Accidental Glass Breakage Coverage

Another key component of the warranty that comes with the windows we sell is coverage for accidental glass breakage. If one of your windows gets broken, the manufacturer will replace the glass at no charge to you—for as long as you live in your home!

Installation Warranty

Pay close attention to this one, because it’s important! You want your replacement window company to include an installation warranty! Most installers will not guarantee their work. BM Windows is one of the few companies in San Diego that does. We include a lifetime installation warranty with every job we complete.

This installation warranty covers all of the parts and labor used in the installation of your replacement windows. If you have an issue with your windows, and it was caused by an installation error, we will fix it at no cost to you.

As you talk to other companies or contractors who install replacement windows in San Diego, make sure you ask them if their installation work is guaranteed.

The Advantage of Working with a Replacement Window Company When it Comes to Your Warranty

If you ever have to make a warranty claim with the manufacturer of your replacement windows, the team at BM Windows is here to help. We can contact the manufacturer on your behalf and make sure the issue is taken care of. Since we are window experts, we can articulate to the manufacturer exactly what the problem is and what needs to be done to make it right. If there is a legitimate issue with your windows, we’ll make sure the manufacturer rectifies it to your satisfaction. This could mean that they send out someone to repair your window, or it could mean a completely new window is installed in place of the defective one.

If you have a general contractor or a handyman install replacement windows in your San Diego home, you are likely on your own to deal with the manufacturer. The manufacturer may still take care of the problem, but it will most likely require you to make multiple phone calls and experience longer wait times.
