Limited Lifetime Warranty

When you invest in new or replacement windows, you expect lasting performance, long-term value, and clear protection against defects. This warranty explains what is covered, how long coverage lasts, and what homeowners can expect if an issue arises. Our goal is to give you confidence in your purchase and peace of mind, especially in the Southern United States, where heat, humidity, and severe storms can place greater demands on window performance.

Many homeowners reviewing their window warranty are also considering upgrading older units. If you are evaluating next steps, our window replacement services explain what to expect and how modern, energy-efficient windows perform in the Southern climate.

Key Warranty Benefits

• Coverage for manufacturing and material defects on eligible window series
• Lifetime coverage for the original homeowner while residing in the home on select products
• Transferable upgraded warranty options under qualifying conditions
• Clear guidelines for glass, hardware, screens, frames, and labor
• Warranty-covered replacement parts shipped at no cost to the homeowner

What This Warranty Includes

Coverage for Eligible Window Series

WinChoice offers multiple window series, each with specific warranty protections designed for long-term performance in the Southern climate.

This warranty applies to the “Renew”/Executive and “Refine”/Elite series windows for as long as the original purchaser resides in the home where the windows were installed. The “Replenish”/Economy series includes a one-year warranty on materials and labor.

Certain upgraded warranty plans are transferable if the property is sold within 10 years from the original purchase date, providing extended coverage for the new homeowner for a period of up to 50 years.

If you are dealing with broader exterior concerns such as storm exposure or aging materials, you may also benefit from reviewing our roofing replacement options to help protect your home as a whole.

Protection Against Manufacturing Defects

Eligible products are warranted to be free from material and manufacturing defects. This includes vinyl frames, insulated glass units, hardware, screens, and related components, as detailed below in the Full Warranty section.

Labor Coverage

Labor costs for warranty-covered repairs are included when service is performed by WinChoice or an authorized provider. This coverage applies to eligible warranty service as outlined in this warranty.
