Weatherguard Window Warranty & Protection Plans

When you invest in replacement windows from Weatherguard Construction, your investment is protected by comprehensive warranty coverage that combines manufacturer product warranties with our own workmanship guarantee. This multi-layered protection gives homeowners in Minnesota, Illinois, and Colorado complete confidence in their window project.

Manufacturer Product Warranties

Every window installed by Weatherguard carries the full factory warranty from its manufacturer. Because we maintain certified installer status and follow exact manufacturer installation specifications, these warranties remain fully intact—something that can't be guaranteed with non-certified installers.

Weatherguard Workmanship Warranty

In addition to manufacturer coverage, every Weatherguard installation carries our 5-year workmanship warranty covering:

If any installation-related issue arises within 5 years, Weatherguard returns to correct it at no cost to the homeowner. No fine print, no deductibles, no hassle.

Extended Protection Plans

For homeowners seeking maximum protection, Weatherguard offers optional extended protection plans that extend workmanship coverage to 10 years and include annual inspection visits. These plans provide proactive maintenance that can identify and address minor issues before they become major problems.

Making a Warranty Claim

If you experience any issue with your Weatherguard-installed windows, the process is simple: call our office or submit a service request online. A member of our team will schedule a visit—typically within 5 business days—to assess the situation and determine whether it falls under manufacturer or workmanship warranty coverage. In most cases, warranty repairs are completed within 2-3 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Weatherguard's workmanship warranty cover?

Our 5-year workmanship warranty covers installation integrity, flashing, waterproofing, insulation, trim work, and operational function. If any installation issue arises within 5 years, we correct it at no cost.

Are manufacturer warranties transferable?

Most manufacturer warranties are transferable. Marvin and Andersen warranties transfer to subsequent homeowners, adding resale value. Check specific brand terms for transfer procedures.

What voids a window warranty?

Common warranty exclusions include non-certified installation, unauthorized modifications, failure to maintain, acts of nature, and normal wear. Certified Weatherguard installation protects your warranty coverage.

How long do window warranties last?

Manufacturer warranties range from 20 years to limited lifetime depending on the brand and component. Weatherguard's workmanship warranty covers 5 years standard, extendable to 10 years.

Does the warranty cover glass breakage?

Pella's limited lifetime warranty includes glass breakage coverage. Other manufacturers typically exclude accidental breakage but cover manufacturing defects. We can clarify coverage for your specific windows.

Reasonable maintenance (cleaning, lubricating hardware, inspecting weatherstripping) is generally expected. Our extended protection plan includes annual inspections to keep your warranty in good standing.
