Warranty & peace of mind
Limited Lifetime Workmanship Warranty.*
PrimeGuard Exteriors backs every install with a written workmanship warranty that protects you well beyond the day the work is finished. Premium projects qualify for Limited Lifetime coverage, with shorter terms for vinyl and repair work. Full details are written into your signed contract.
Coverage by project type
Your exact workmanship coverage depends on the product installed.
We back every install. The length of the workmanship coverage depends on the product type because some materials are engineered to last decades and some are engineered for value.

Fine print — honest version
Limits and what they actually mean.
Most contractor warranties hide the limits. Ours are written in plain language and in your signed contract.
Liability cap
Total liability under the warranty for all claims combined is capped at the total contract price you paid for the project. This protects both sides and is standard in residential exterior warranties.
One-time transferable
Lifetime coverage applies to the original homeowner's period of ownership. If you sell the home, the warranty transfers one time to the next buyer, then ends.
Exact terms in your contract
The warranty page is a summary. Your specific coverage, exclusions, and any project-specific notes live in the signed installation contract you receive at the start of every project.
Warranty FAQ
Quick answers homeowners ask about warranty.
What's the difference between workmanship and product warranty?
Workmanship covers the install — the way your siding or windows were put on the house. Product covers the material itself and comes from the manufacturer. PrimeGuard backs the workmanship; manufacturers back the product.
Is "Limited Lifetime" really lifetime?
It's the limited lifetime of the original homeowner's period of ownership of the property, one time transferable to the next buyer. After that transfer, the coverage ends. This is standard in the industry.
What if you find something wrong after the job is done?
Call (253) 365-9322 or email sales@primeguardexterior.com. We respond within 5 business days, schedule an inspection, and repair anything covered under the warranty.
What invalidates the warranty?
Storm damage, owner modifications, third-party repairs, or failing to report an issue within a reasonable time after noticing it. All exclusions are written in your signed contract.
What about the manufacturer's warranty on my siding or windows?
Each material we install carries its own manufacturer warranty. We hand you the paperwork at project completion and install to spec so those warranties stay valid.
