Our Guarantee & Warranty - Meridian Windows and Doors San Francisco

The Meridian Windows and Doors San Francisco Guarantee

We put every San Francisco job on paper before the first tool comes off the truck. The price you approve is the price you pay, and the work is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise: a written guarantee on every installation and repair, full year, no fine print about labor exclusions. If the work fails within that period, we come back and make it right at no charge. A meridian is a fixed line you measure everything against. That’s what the name means, and that’s how we run every install. Elliot Vance, Owner, signs off on that standard.

What’s Covered

Every Meridian Windows and Doors San Francisco project includes these commitments, in writing:

• Workmanship for 365 days. If an installation or repair fails within one year, the crew returns at no charge, and that’s covered in the written guarantee, not buried in a verbal promise.
• Written price before work starts. The number goes on paper before any work begins, and it does not move at the door. No change orders, no surprise line items.
• Cleanup and haul-away. Old sashes, glass, framing scraps, and job-site debris leave with our truck. The work area is left broom-clean.
• Background-checked, uniformed technicians. Homeowners know exactly who is walking through the door. Every technician is vetted and arrives in company uniform.
• Parts and materials handled correctly. We install and replace products from PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux. If a manufacturer part arrives wrong or fails under its own terms, we handle the replacement process on your behalf.
• On-time arrival, communicated clearly. If the schedule shifts, you hear from a live person, not an automated message.

Our Satisfaction Promise

If a homeowner in San Francisco isn’t satisfied with the work, the process is simple. Call us. A live person answers, around the clock, every day of the year. We listen to what’s wrong, send a technician back out, and fix it. If the repair or installation fails within the 365-day guarantee period, the second visit is free. That’s written into the guarantee, not a favor. If the problem is something we did wrong, we fix it on our dime. If it’s a manufacturer defect, we work the warranty with the manufacturer so you don’t have to sit on hold with a factory in another state. The point is that the job gets done right, and you don’t carry the burden of chasing it. Call (831) 273-7126 and we’ll start the process.

Licensed & Insured Backing

Paperwork matters. Anyone can put “guaranteed” on a business card. The real guarantee behind our work is that Meridian Windows and Doors San Francisco operates state-licensed and insured, which means there’s actual accountability if something goes wrong. Insurance protects your San Francisco home during the job, and licensing means the work is done to code. We’re part of the Garrison Partners family, operating to The Garrison Standard since 2009, so there’s a larger organization standing behind the local crew. The Garrison Code covers what the team will and will not do on a job site: no cutting corners, no surprise pricing, no leaving a mess. If a subcontractor or technician doesn’t meet that bar, they don’t work under the Meridian name.

What Our Guarantee Does Not Cover

We’re straightforward about this because it builds trust. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers our workmanship and labor. It does not extend the manufacturer’s own product warranty, though we do help coordinate manufacturer claims on PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux products. It does not cover damage from events outside normal use, like a storm blowing debris through a window or a vehicle hitting a patio door. Normal wear on moving parts like rollers and seals after years of San Francisco fog and salt air is expected, and we’ll give you an honest assessment of what needs attention and what doesn’t. If you’re ever uncertain whether something falls under the guarantee, call (831) 273-7126 and ask. A live person answers, and you’ll get a straight answer.

Why Guarantees Matter in San Francisco Specifically

San Francisco’s climate is rough on windows and doors. The fog pushes moisture into frames. The salt air off the Pacific corrodes hardware faster than it would in Walnut Creek. Older homes in the Richmond, Sunset, and Noe Valley often have single-pane sashes that were installed decades ago, and the wood frames have swollen and shifted. When a contractor does a sloppy install in those conditions, the failure doesn’t always show up in week one. It shows up when the first big storm of November drives rain sideways against a west-facing bay window. That’s why a guarantee with real teeth matters here. Our 365-day window means you get through a full San Francisco winter with the work before the guarantee expires. If something fails in January, we’re back in February, at no charge.

How the Guarantee Works Step by Step

1. 1
   You call (831) 273-7126. A live person answers, 24/7, every day of the year, no voicemail loops.
2. 2
   We schedule the return visit. We work around your schedule, and the second visit is free if it falls within the guarantee period.
3. 3
   We diagnose the problem honestly. If it’s our workmanship, we fix it. If it’s a manufacturer defect, we handle the claim with PGT, CGI, CWS, or whichever line we installed.

   We document everything. You get a written record of what was done and why. No verbal reassurances.

What Homeowners Ask About Our Guarantee

Is the guarantee really in writing?

Yes. Every installation and repair from Meridian Windows and Doors San Francisco gets a written 365-Day Done Right Promise. It’s not a handshake. If the work fails within the year, we return at no charge, and the guarantee language has no fine print about labor exclusions. Call (831) 273-7126 if you want to see the exact wording before scheduling an estimate.

What happens if the manufacturer’s product fails?

We handle the coordination with the manufacturer. If a PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, or ViewLux product arrives defective or fails under its own warranty terms, we work that claim on your behalf. You don’t have to navigate the factory warranty process alone.

Does the guarantee cover the labor if you have to come back?

Yes, for the full 365 days. No labor exclusions hidden in the fine print. If our installation or repair fails within that year, the return visit is free. That’s the whole point of putting it in writing.

How does the free estimate fit with the guarantee?

The written price you get before the job starts is part of the same commitment. The price on the estimate is the price on the final invoice. If anything changes during the job, we stop and get your written approval before moving forward. Call (831) 273-7126 to schedule your free estimate for window replacement, window installation, or patio door installation in San Francisco.

Get the Guarantee in Writing Before You Decide

Here’s our honest advice for any San Francisco homeowner comparing window and door contractors: ask for the guarantee in writing before you sign anything. If a contractor won’t put the terms on paper, that’s your answer. We’ll show you ours before any work begins. Call (831) 273-7126 and talk to a live person, any day, any hour. We’ll walk you through the 365-Day Done Right Promise, answer every question about coverage, and schedule a free estimate with a written price. If you’re in the Richmond, the Sunset, Noe Valley, Bernal Heights, or anywhere in San Francisco, Elliot Vance and the Meridian crew are ready to put it on paper.
