8) Do you have union training?
9) Have you ever designed a win- dow for a factory to manufacture?
10) Have you ever owned or been part owner of a window factory?
These are great questions and we knew we would have an expert when we found the person who could meet all the requirements. After much re- search on the Honolulu industry, we found only one expert.
Matthew Houar is the owner of Tropical Windows and Siding, a con- tractor who has installed thousands of windows himself as well as owned the first vinyl window factory in Honolulu. Houar has multiple contracting licens- es and has won numerous awards in the vinyl window and siding industry. But the real proof was Houar has been in the vinyl window and siding business in Honolulu for over 40 years.
So after finding Houar we asked, “Is there really a lifetime warranty on vi- nyl windows and doors?”
And here is what Houar said, “Cer- tainly there are lifetime warranties on vinyl windows and doors, just not nor- mally in Hawaii.”
“What is the reason for this?” we asked.
Houar says, “Because of Hawaii’s salt air conditions, almost every mainland factory voids warranties in Hawaii. If there are any warran- ties in Hawaii, most are given by the small satellite contractor selling their favorite brand of vinyl windows and doors.
This means the factories are still voiding their warranties. In fact, if any factory warranties are given, normally the hardware and screen parts are only warranted for one year.”
At this point we asked, “Are there any warranties backed by a major fac- tory?”
Houar says, “There is only one I know of Simonton Windows and Doors.”
“Where can we find these vinyl win- dows and doors?”
“At Tropical Windows and siding. Tropical is the first to bring, design and manufacture vinyl windows and doors in Hawaii. Go to 1351 S. Beretania St. and get the finest vinyl windows and doors. Tropical also installs at a reason- able price with the best local installers on the Island. Our motto is ‘buy local.”
At that point, we knew we had the real expert and recommend Tropical for all your home improvement needs when it comes to buying lifetime-war- ranted vinyl windows/doors.
Tropical is open 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Mondays-Fridays and 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturdays.
