CertainTeed warrants to the property owner that its vinyl siding (except for Cedar
Impressions®, Northwoods® and CedarBoards™ which carry separate warranties), soffit,
under deck and accessory products (“Vinyl Siding Products”) are free from manufacturing
defects in material and workmanship if installed according to our applicable specifications,
subject to the terms and conditions of this Warranty. If CertainTeed determines, in its sole
discretion, that its Vinyl Siding Products have a manufacturing defect under the terms of
this Warranty, CertainTeed will, at its option, either (1) pay to repair, replace, refinish, or
coat any vinyl siding product it determines has a manufacturing defect, or (2) refund the
amount paid by the original property owner for the Vinyl Siding Products plus the cost of
the labor of the original installation.
In no event will the value of CertainTeed’s obligations under this Warranty exceed the
purchase price of the originally installed products that CertainTeed determines have a
manufacturing defect and the cost of the labor involved in the original installation of these
products. Any costs or expenses beyond this amount are the responsibility of the property
owner.
In the event of repair, replacement, refinishing, or coating under the terms of this
Warranty, the warranty applicable to the original Vinyl Siding Product shall apply to the
repaired, replacement, refinished, or coated Vinyl Siding Product and will extend for the
balance of the original warranty period.
The lifetime warranty period offered for CertainTeed Vinyl Siding Products is only
available to the original, individual homeowners, and only if applied to a single-family
home. All other structures and property owners (e.g., corporations, governmental agencies,
partnerships, trusts, homeowner associations, cooperative housing arrangements, religious
organizations, schools, condominiums, townhomes, apartment buildings, duplex, house of
worship, and any other type of building or premises not owned by individual homeowners),
including subsequent property owners (see Transferability section, below), are limited to a
prorated 50 year warranty (see How Long You are Covered section, below).
This Warranty has a lifetime warranty so long as the original property owner is a person who
lives in and owns the single-family home on which the Vinyl Siding Products were originally
installed. If the owner is a subsequent owner or a corporation, governmental agency,
partnership, trust, homeowner association, cooperative housing arrangement, religious
organization, or other entity not a person, or if the Vinyl Siding Products are applied to
a school, condominium, townhome, apartment building, duplex, house of worship, or
any other type of building or premises not owned by an individual homeowner, warranty
coverage under this Warranty is prorated starting from the original date of installation.
The original property owner of a single-family home (as described in this section)
receives 100% non-prorated coverage.
Subsequent owners and others (as described in this section) are covered by a 50-year
prorated warranty:
Percentage of Coverage Years Since Installation
- 100% Up to 5
- 90% More than 5 and up to 7
- 80% More than 7 and up to 8
- 70% More than 8 and up to 9
