Most entry doors that you find come with some type of "limited lifetime warranty". Many people make the assumption that this covers more than the warranty actually does. It's a common mistake, but a mistake that can prove costly. Especially when it comes to the door's finish warranty.
The finish of a modern entry door, whether it be a steel or fiberglass door, is usually made of either paint or a stain. It is often applied at the factory, and therefore comes with its own distinct finish warranty. But just because the door has a "limited lifetime warranty" doesn't mean the finish warranty is for a lifetime!
Entry doors from the big box stores often come with a substandard finish warranty. This can become a headache for the homeowner, when they notice the the factory finish on their recently installed entry door is beginning to fade, crack, or peel. Especially when they realize it's no longer covered by the door's warranty!
Big box store entry doors are notorious for providing short term finish warranties. A deeper look into the warranty of one of the popular Home Depot entry door lines shows that the finish warranty only lasts for 45 days!
Quality matters when it comes to entry doors. If you're shopping for entry doors in Dayton or entry doors in Cincinnati, check out the line of ProVia doors offered by Windows Plus. These entry doors are not only built to last, but the finish warranties are good for seven to ten years! Much longer than those doors offered at the big box stores.
