# Warranty Comparison: What Every Homeowner Should Know
When investing in a new garage door, the warranty is just as important as the door itself. A quality warranty protects your investment and provides peace of mind for years to come. Let's break down what you need to know about garage door warranties and why Garage Door Copalis Crossing offers one of the best in the industry.
This covers defects in the door and its components as manufactured. Typical coverage includes:
Sections/Panels: Usually 1-10 years depending on material. Steel doors typically offer longer coverage than wood.
Hardware: 1-5 years for hinges, brackets, and tracks
Springs: 1-3 years (though springs have a cycle-life rating that may exceed this)
Paint/Finish: 1-5 years, with coastal areas like Ocean Shores and Westport sometimes excluded due to salt air
This covers the installation workmanship. At Garage Door Copalis Crossing, we offer a 10-year warranty on all our work.one of the longest in the Pacific Northwest. This reflects our confidence in our factory-trained technicians and quality standards.
- Opener mechanical failures (within warranty period)
- Damage from accidents, storms, or vehicle impact, Modifications or repairs by non-authorized parties, Commercial use on a residential warranty, Improper installation (get professional installation!) - Failure to perform recommended maintenance - Damage from power surges
Some warranties are pro-rated, meaning coverage decreases over time. A 10-year pro-rated warranty might only cover: - Years 1-3: 100% of parts, Years 4-6: 50% of parts, Years 7-10: 25% of parts
Our warranty at Garage Door Copalis Crossing is full coverage for the entire term.no pro-rating, no surprises.
Can you transfer the warranty if you sell your home? This can be a significant selling point for your property. Ask about transferability before purchasing. Many manufacturer warranties transfer automatically; installer warranties may have different policies.
Does the warranty cover just parts, or does it include labor for repairs? Parts-only warranties can still leave you with significant labor costs.sometimes $75-150 per service call. Our 10-year warranty covers both parts AND labor on our workmanship.
1. What exactly is covered and for how long? 2. Is the warranty pro-rated or full coverage throughout? 3. Is the warranty transferable to new homeowners? 4. Does it cover labor, or just parts? 5. What actions might void the warranty? 6. How do I file a claim if needed? 7. Does the warranty have geographic limitations?
We stand behind our work with a comprehensive 10-year warranty because we're confident in our quality. If something goes wrong with our installation or repair work, we'll make it right.no excuses, no hassle, no runaround.
