Warranty Coverage Details
What Our Long-Term Protection Guarantee Actually Covers
Our warranty coverage details are straightforward because we designed them to be. The lifetime guarantee applies to every installation completed by our in-house team and covers both parts and labor from the moment your new windows or doors are installed. There are no hidden fees when you call for service, no deductibles to meet, and no graduated coverage that shrinks over time. If something needs attention, our dedicated service team responds within 24 to 48 hours. Every installer who works in your home is a payroll employee of Hom-Excel, not a subcontractor, so accountability never gets passed off to a third party. This is the same standard we have upheld since our founding in 1965, and it is the reason 95% of our new business comes from referrals by satisfied customers across Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Pasco counties.
Common Questions About Window and Door Warranty Coverage
Does the lifetime warranty cover both parts and labor, or just one of them?
The Hom-Excel lifetime warranty covers both parts and labor in full. There is no split coverage where one component is protected and the other is not. If a part fails or a labor-related issue arises with an installation our team completed, both are addressed at no cost to you. There are also no trip charges when our service team comes out, and the coverage does not pro-rate over time, meaning the protection you have on day one is the same protection you have years later. This applies to all windows and doors installed by our in-house payroll staff across Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Pasco counties.How does the transferable warranty work when I sell my home?
When you sell your home, the warranty on your Hom-Excel windows and doors transfers to the new owner. You do not need to purchase a separate policy or pay a transfer fee. The new homeowner inherits the same lifetime coverage, including parts, labor, and no trip charges, that you originally received. This makes Hom-Excel installations a documented asset in a real estate transaction. Florida buyers who understand the cost of storm damage and contractor replacement often view a transferable window warranty from a 60-year-old, state-licensed company as a meaningful part of the home's value.How quickly does Hom-Excel respond to a warranty service request?
Hom-Excel maintains a dedicated in-house service team that handles all warranty and maintenance calls. The verified response window for service calls is 24 to 48 hours. Because every installer is a payroll employee rather than a subcontractor, there is no coordination delay between the company and a third-party crew. The same accountability that governed your original installation applies when you call for service. This response standard applies to customers throughout the Tampa Bay area, including Clearwater, St. Petersburg, and the surrounding communities in Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Pasco counties.Are there situations where the warranty would not apply?
The Hom-Excel lifetime warranty applies specifically to products installed by the company's own in-house staff. Installations completed by other contractors, or repairs made to competitor products by outside parties, would not fall under Hom-Excel's warranty. The coverage is tied to the work Hom-Excel performed and the products it supplied. Hom-Excel does provide repair and maintenance services for some competitor-installed products as a relationship-building service, but those repairs carry separate terms and are not automatically covered under the lifetime warranty that accompanies a full Hom-Excel installation.What brands are covered, and do manufacturer warranties also apply?
Hom-Excel installs products from Simonton, including the StormBreaker Plus line, and PGT, including the WinGuard series. Both are premium impact-rated brands with their own manufacturer warranties. Hom-Excel's lifetime warranty on parts and labor works alongside those manufacturer guarantees. As a factory-direct dealer and the first company to bring Simonton to Florida in 1997, Hom-Excel maintains strong direct relationships with both manufacturers, which supports faster parts procurement when a warranty claim requires replacement components. PGT WinGuard products are manufactured locally in Florida, which also helps with turnaround times.Does the warranty apply to condo units as well as single-family homes?
Yes. The lifetime transferable warranty applies to all Hom-Excel installations regardless of property type. The company has built its reputation largely through the condominium market, where approximately 98% of its current volume originates. Condo installations involve specific requirements around HOA compliance and high-rise wind load ratings, and Hom-Excel's in-house team is experienced with those standards. The same warranty terms, covering parts and labor with no trip charges and full transferability, apply to condo units in Clearwater, St. Petersburg, and across the Tampa Bay service area.How does Hom-Excel's warranty compare to what other Florida window companies offer?
Most direct comparisons to competitor warranty terms are not available in verified sources, so a line-by-line breakdown cannot be provided here. What is documented about Hom-Excel's coverage is that it includes lifetime protection on both parts and labor, carries no trip charges, does not pro-rate over time, and is fully transferable to subsequent homeowners. The company also holds a State Glass and Glazing License (SCC131154659), which provides a higher level of regulatory accountability than the local municipal licenses held by many regional competitors. Hom-Excel has maintained an A+ rating with the BBB and has operated from the same Clearwater location for 30 years.
