Warranty Note:

We offer extensive factory finish warranties, however, it is possible you may have to refinish your siding or trim prior to the warranty periods. Check to see if the finish system you’re purchasing is backed by a warranty, as not all finish systems are backed by a factory finish warranty. Many factors that affect the longevity of a factory finish are beyond human control. Some factors that affect your factory finish performance include:

  • The proximity of your home to water (lake, pond, ocean, etc….)
  • The amount of sun exposure your home receives
  • The architectural design of your home
  • The maintenance of and design of your water run-off systems
