How Storm Damage Affects Window Warranties

If the window is only leaking because the storm compromised a seal or frame, the damage may still need replacement even when the warranty does not pay for it.

For some homes, energy-efficient windows for hot South Carolina summers make sense at the same time as storm-resistance upgrades, especially if the old units were already struggling with heat gain and air leakage.

If the frame is distorted, the sash no longer operates smoothly, or multiple windows on the same side of the house show wear, a piecemeal repair may not be the best use of money.

The best time to think about warranty protection is Cayce Window Replacement before the storm, not after it.

And if the storm exposed an older problem, the honest answer may be that replacement is the cleanest fix.
