When deciding on the type of home improvement project you want to have started on at your home, there are many things to take into consideration. Not only do you need to find out the right project for your home, you will also need to figure out if there is a home improvement warranty available with it to ensure that you are covered after the work has been completed. 


Depending on the company and job being completed, the type of warranty can vary. Most professional home improvement companies like All Weather Seal of West Michigan offer solid home improvement warranties to back their services. Not only is this a great way for them to keep their customers satisfied, but it also shows that they stand behind the quality of the products and the services they provide. If you’re in the process of embarking on a remodeling project of your own, it’s worth it to understand what good warranties cover and why they’re important. In this article, we’ll go over some of the most important information you need to know about home improvement warranties to help you prepare for the best outcome.

What Is A Home Improvement Warranty?

Whether it’s a warranty coming directly from your home improvement company or a warranty from a manufacturer, a warranty is a guarantee that your contractor or the manufacturer stands behind the work they’ve done or the products they’ve created. 


In other words, if anything should go wrong during the time you’re covered, they’ll promise to take care of it for you. The types of warranties vary in the length of time—from unlimited lifetime warranties to limited, pro-rated coverage (decreasing in value with every passing year), and many others. Some warranties are transferable, meaning that if you sell your home, your warranty can be transferred to the new owner of the house—while others are not. 

What Are the Different Warranty Options?

A home improvement warranty can cover a number of aspects of your remodeling project—typically, it’s insurance that covers the installation process or the products used. Here are some of the warranty options that are typically covered within a home improvement project: 

  • Parts: A parts warranty is going to vary brand by brand as different manufacturers offer different types of warranties. What they all have in common is that they all protect you against defects in workmanship. If anything should go wrong with the parts and materials of the actual products used in your project, the manufacturer will be responsible for repairing or replacing it.
  • Labor: Labor warranties cover any part of the physical installation process by your remodeling company. This warranty protects you from anything that might go wrong with your remodel due to bad installation work.
  • Service: This is sometimes referred to as an “extended warranty”, however, a service contract is not technically a warranty. A service contract requires an additional cost, and will buy you maintenance, repairs, or replacement coverage if you should need it within an agreed-upon amount of time. If you come across this option, be sure to read the details carefully. Sometimes, an additional service contract is unnecessary or excessive if the warranty covers the same services for free. If not, shop around with other companies to see if their warranties include the same services without the added costs of a service contract. 

What Type of Projects Are Covered?

Any reputable remodeling company will cover all of the labor and products with solid warranty programs. At All-Weather Seal of West Michigan, we offer the following manufacturer and labor warranties on all of our projects for our customers, including the following:

  • Roofing: As one of the larger projects that All Weather Seal of West Michigan offers, roofing is one of the most popular. Roof replacements are generally more expensive than other home remodeling services, which is why making sure you have your project covered with an excellent warranty is a must.
  • Siding: Since siding is made to protect your home from the elements and takes the full force of any storms that may pass through, it is important to have a warranty on both labor and materials used.
  • Windows: Replacing the windows in your home with high-quality products can dramatically change the look and feel of your home. Keeping them protected for the long-term with a good warranty is important—and can give you peace-of-mind should anything go wrong with them after installation. 
  • Doors: Door products are an important investment, and a high-quality door should be covered for both defects in quality and installation problems.
