Why Product Documentation Matters
Window and door warranty claims require documentation of proper installation. Manufacturers void warranties for improper installation — flashing errors, shimming problems, inadequate sealing — and without photos, it's your word against the homeowner's.
Product label photos (model number, NFRC rating, warranty code) taken at the time of installation are the starting point. Rough opening and flashing photos confirm the installation method. Completion photos document the final condition.
