Warranty guidance

Clear terms before the work begins.

Material and workmanship warranties cover different things. Confirm who provides each one and which terms apply.

Separate manufacturer coverage from contractor workmanship coverage.

Ask which materials, defects, installation issues, and labor costs are included.

Confirm duration, start date, transferability, and registration requirements.

Review ventilation, maintenance, modification, weather, and notification exclusions.

Keep the contract, product documents, photos, and written claim instructions.

Before approval

Request the written warranty terms.

Ask which coverage applies to your exact material selection and approved scope.
