Warranties done right

Is it time to get an estimate on new windows or painting? Call Tropical Wholesale for the best windows available. Also call Tropical for lifetime siding instead of painting.

Tropical owners Matt and Mike have the very best windows and siding available. All have 100 percent manufacture’s warranties, as well as Tropical’s voluntary lifetime workmanship warranty.

Most homeowners laugh at lifetime warranties, because normally 90 percent of companies are not in business long enough to honor their warranties. In fact, most of the time, companies have a lot of high pressure salesmen that will promise anything to make a sale and get a commission.

But not Tropical, because the only estimators are owners Mike and Matt Houar. So, here are a few tips on purchasing lifetime windows, siding and other home improvement products for your house.

Make sure the company has been in business at least 10 years here in Hawaii. A lot of new companies advertise falsely by saying they have 25 years of experience. This does not mean that they have been in business for 25 years. And if you

Make sure all warranties are in writing. Salesmen can and will promise anything, but that doesn’t make it true. Check the Contractors Licensing Board for current insurance policies, workman’s compensation and liability insurance and bonding. Check also to see how long this company has really been in business by checking the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA).

Call or visit the manufactures to check on warranties on product maintenance necessary to maintain factory warranties. Also check installation techniques, as there are a lot of new companies doing shortcut installations.

There is no sense in doing the job if you don’t do it right. And always call the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and ask for references.

Think about it: Homeowners would not want a first timer building a home, and they most certainly don’t want a first timer renovating their home, because this is a more difficult and technical job. For a sure thing, call Tropical, and here is why:
