Understanding Window Warranty Coverage
A window warranty exists to provide long-term protection for homeowners after installation. It defines what the manufacturer stands behind if a product experiences issues related to materials or workmanship under normal residential use.
High Performance Homes installs Simonton replacement windows, which include a Residential Lifetime Limited Warranty that provides extended coverage for eligible components of the window system and includes transferable benefits for future homeowners.
This type of coverage is intended to give homeowners confidence that their investment is protected beyond the initial installation.
Simonton Residential Lifetime Limited Warranty
The Simonton windows installed by High Performance Homes are backed by a Residential Lifetime Limited Warranty. This coverage is designed to provide:
Long-term protection for qualifying window components
Parts and labor coverage for eligible issues
Transferability for a second homeowner
Manufacturer-backed support for covered claims
High Performance Homes installs Simonton windows as an authorized contractor, and homeowners receive the same Simonton manufacturer warranty coverage as they would when purchasing directly from Simonton. Warranty terms are determined by Simonton and are not altered by installation through High Performance Homes.
