    Well first we called and got an appointment for an estimate. They came out within a week, on time and ready to give us an estimate based on what we needed done and also gave us some ballpark ideas on future projects. The person was nice and I felt comfortable asking him questions. After we made a down payment and the windows came in they set up an appointment for install. We ended up needing to change it a few times on our end due to another project (driveway issues). They did not give us any problems and on the day we scheduled they came out on time.

    The people working, Taras and Yurri **. had such a great work ethic. They came happy, clean, talked about the project, nice to nosy neighbors but kept working hard the whole time. I was amazed at their work. We did the whole upper story windows and they make each room look remodeled. I had no idea new windows could make such a difference. The windows I chose were easy to use and came with screens. Yurri patiently showed me how to use them and take them out to clean. (They also didn’t complain about how bad my old windows were) This pair of guys worked well together, I feel very lucky to have had them on my job. I can’t speak for how everyone else’s crew works but I stand behind these two. At the end I checked over everything and signed off on the job. When I decide to do the downstairs windows I will use Renewal by Andersen.

    Wish I had read reviews prior - I had 2 friends who had great results with their windows and did not look deeper into the outfit. The door design allowed for inadequate opening of the slider. For this much $ they should have easily been able to cut the bumper and plug in an exterior door handle that would add 3.5" more to the opening width. They came out said "this is the window you bought - here look at the contract! If you modify the window in any way the warranty is VOID!"

    I should have arranged to pay them directly in increments with 20% withheld for final approval rather than falling for a Green Sky interest free loan. The trim job on the door had some flaws and the window turned out to be warped so it didn't close properly. They will not come out to attempt to fix this for over a month - we can't shellac and finish up AND I have zero confidence they can properly fix these problems. I should have done it myself or used Lowe's with a special side agreement with the installation contractor for finishing. I would have saved at least $2,000 and a lot of aggravation.

    Kyle came to our home prepared for any questions we could throw at him. The sample product and demonstration in keeping the heat out (a necessity in Arizona) is what sold us. Having worked for a window manufacturing company in the past I knew what to ask from the casement to the frame to the type of glasses and process they used to make the custom windows.

    The installation crew came out on time and worked tirelessly through a 115 degree day to get our windows in before the hottest part of the day. Although they experienced a little difficulty in removing a few of the old windows in our stucco sided home, they were very communicative as to the issues. There was some minor damage to drywall from the reciprocating saw cutting from the outside they quickly arranged to repair it. The key to our satisfaction is they communicated with us from the sales visit to getting the repairs set up and taken care of and every step in between.

    Immediately after installation we notice the new metal door was buckling in the corner of the window in the door, almost like someone tightened a screw too much. We had Andersen take a look. They assured us we dented the door. A year later we noticed the door buckled in the same spot on the outside of the door, an identical instance of the corner by the window caving in. We had an Andersen technician come out to assess the door again, and this time he agreed the door had a manufacturing flaw given the unusual similarities in how the door warped around the window edges.

    Andersen, despite the obvious manufacturing flaw, ultimately told us the door is now out of warranty. Keep in mind we first raised this issue soon after the door was installed, well within the warranty. The customer service woman was so rude and obnoxious. I just wish I never bought doors from this window company. Buyers beware. Don't buy doors from a window company.

    I received a quote from Renewal By Anderson today. It was insanely expensive. Two windows after supposedly good discounts was $5500 and 4 windows was $8000. This is just out of the range of reality. I can go by top of the line Anderson windows regular install windows for 1/3 this number (which my sales person agreed was true). Replacement windows are supposed to less expensive. I found it disturbing that he tried to tell me that their replacement windows are better than the original product. I guess people pay these crazy prices, but I think everyone needs to do more research. All this was a waste of time. I will look for a quality less expensive option.

    I would not recommend Renewal by Andersen. We had trouble from the day of the installation. One window was installed incorrectly and during the heavy rains one window had a massive leak because the window was installed improperly. When Andersen returned to fix the leak they told us we had to buy a different window because to fix the leak they needed to do additional framing which would cost several thousand dollars more. After standing our ground Andersen came up with a solution so we did not have to purchase a new window. Problem solved but very stressful.

    The installation took many visits because of various issues. We ordered black frames and once the new windows were installed we noticed a silver chrome line at the top of two windows which was not on the third window. These windows do not match the other windows in the house, they face the street, and look awful. Austen our project manager was emailed and contacted about this issue and has not returned our calls or email. Of course, because we already paid in full. I would never use this company again, nothing but problems.

    Renewal by Andersen is good quality, and we had them for replacement. I got the long panes, the roll-out, crank-out. One was two panes, and it was about a little over 3 feet by 5 feet, and the other one was about 4 feet by 5 feet. The installation was good and they clean after themselves very well. I’ve been satisfied with everything that’s been put in, but I have a window that cracked because of stress. It was one that was put in prior to these last two. Other than that, everything was fine.

    December 2018 - we called & met with Renewal by Andersen. After looking at some other vendors we decided on Renewal by Andersen and solidified our agreement in December 2018. All of the guys that came into our home were wonderful, respectful & friendly. Initially all of the appointments are kept on time; I am prepared breakfast on occasion for them. Then happen the breakdown. They replaced three windows and one sliding glass door, however they never did the finish work so there was gaping areas around the windows and around the sliding glass door.

    After numerous calls and numerous no-shows from Renewal by Andersen after nine months the job was completed. I am not happy with the service I received from Renewal by Andersen, nobody took responsibility for answering us or making sure our job is completed. It took 9 months to complete a simple job. Despite numerous calls regarding the state of my home, no one ever stopped taking our money or offered a monetary compensation for our inconvenience. I would NEVER, repeat NEVER, recommend Renewal by Andersen or say anything positive because of the experience I had with Renewal by Andersen was horrible. The windows look good, they appear to operate well, however my concern now is if we ever have a problem who’s going to respond. Save your money if you need this done quickly.

    We spoke with the guy that gave us the estimate. On the TV advertisement Renewal says, “We’re not pushy,” but they were very pushy. I turned the guy away but later on, we called him back. I purchased the long windows, got them done in the house and they're great. We have a contemporary house and the windows are the ones that crank out. Not one of the installers was from the United States but they did an incredible job. I also had two windows done on the garage but by another company and when I looked at it, I almost spent as much on the windows in the garage than I did in the house.

    In 2015 Renewal by Andersen quoted a 3 section replacement window 75.2% higher than another nationally-known brand and so, we naturally went with the other installer and manufacturer. Over the past weekend, Renewal by Andersen had a sales rep at the local hardware store and although I said we were all set, he continued to make a sales pitch. Walking away I said "they're too expensive" and his reply - "not for everyone"!!

    The audacity and arrogance to make such a statement is deeply troubling. Is that their marketing strategy to convey quality by overcharging and/or, is their sales force just pompous ** wanting to instigate strife with folks that aren't interested in their Kool-Aid? I am fortunate or blessed, to have done well financially and I can afford to pay more for a better product but, I and no one should be paying for Andersen's extensive advertising or listen to pretentious and idiotic sales rep(s).

    We liked the quality of the product as well the service that they brought when installing. And we liked the reviews we had gotten from other people as well.

    The rep we dealt with was perfectly fine, too. We had two sliding patio doors installed. Renewal by Andersen told us there would be a certain number of weeks when the doors would be in. But then, they ended up calling and saying something happened. I don't know if the doors got back ordered or they had some scheduling issues, but then they had to push us off for a couple of weeks, and we scheduled the installation. So, the installation ended up a couple of weeks later than we originally had planned.

    During the installation, there were two guys here and they were clean with their work. They were really neat. They were respectful of the home and our family, too. They took their time and they talked me through a couple of things that popped up. They let me know what was going on and then after they did it, they walked me through everything and showed me all about the doors and their different features. So, they did a good job. We're very happy with the finished product. And even from the beginning when we went through the presentation to the very end of the installation and the follow-ups, we've been very pleased with the whole process.

    Had the sales person come by and they spent their time convincing me to spend the money on these doors with a really nice interest rate and 6 months same as cash/no payments. Turn around and unsurprisingly my credit wasn't good enough for this deal and was talked into a higher interest rate but the six months same as cash/no payments was completely ignored and the fact that this feature was not part of the deal was not mentioned. I pointed out several times I wanted this in order to get my finances in a bit better order and do some "house cleaning." Find out today that my payment is due starting next month which is not what I expected. The windows and door were well installed and the guys did a good job cleaning up. Too bad their sales and finance are such scam artists. Do this if you can pay upfront. Sadly wasn't in my budget for the year (my mistake) but will go with a different vendor for the rest of the house when I have the money.

    In January 2019 we replaced all of our main floor and upper level windows and installed a sliding glass door where we had French doors. More that 43k later, we have pretty windows during the day, but about a third of our evenings and early mornings we can't see out of the windows because they are fogged up so badly with condensation on the outside of the windows. ALL of the windows. Also appears that there is sticker residue on a couple of the windows. Andersen has been out twice to "clean" the windows, stating that there may be a film on them that was not removed properly.

    Months later, I still clearly see a huge circle in our living room window, and all of the windows continue to fog. This evening is it 74 degrees in our home, 72 degrees outside and all of the windows and sliding glass door are fogged. I am SO disappointed and will never recommend Andersen. Friendly people, but absolutely no resolution at this point. I have a lot of photos of the fogging and we've been sending them in. Will start grabbing videos to share because I don't want anyone else to be paying for windows that are quite frankly, embarrassing. Instead of increasing our home's value I believe it has taken value away. Will continue to pursue this matter.

    Our experience with RBA has been the ultimate worst ever and we have renovated two homes so this review is being stated, not lightly and with experience with many contractors & companies over the past 12 years. Our windows were ordered in November and after we placed the order the salesperson never actually placed the order. When we tried to cancel we were told that we had already been charged 1/2 the amount and it was non-refundable. When I told them to hold on to ordering so that I could see what the financing company had to say they went ahead and ordered the windows.

    The financing company is obviously owned by RBC because they were not able to help in any way. Their contract does not protect the consumer at all & the things the sales person told us were absolute lies. The windows were installed in April and the crew that installed them blocked our roadway after I instructed them where to park, had loud music with profanities playing in our suburban family neighborhood and then at the end of installation they told me all my plantation shutters are not operational & the functionality of the window is deterred because of the plantation shutters. SCAM!!!!

    The sales person went over and over about how beautiful the windows would look with the plantation shutters and the person that measured even mentioned them...Now we are getting a letter from the VP acting like he is doing us a favor by attempting to make his product operation. I’m wondering if it’s only because we haven’t signed the paperwork that the job is complete and they can’t charge us the other 1/2 of the amount. DO NOT USE RBA. Our neighbors whom our sales person said loved the RBA windows were not pleased and went with another company to do the remainder of their home.

    The VP is now sending us an email that says that page 8 section 8 states that RBA cannot guarantee the proper fit of window treatments...How kind of them...This is a money scam. All the people are older adults and are not idiots. They know exactly what they are doing and are just trying to get any $ they can without regard for the actual person, home and community.

It looks like he has tried reaching out to resolve the issue, but has not heard from you. If you'd like to talk with the team about their idea to make your window treatments fit, please let him know so he can set up a time to visit.

    Good company to deal with. High quality product. Installers were very knowledgeable about the products. They kept my house very clean, laying drop clothes and vacuuming my rug. Gave us a little demo on how to tilt in the windows for cleaning. Stressless process from start to finish.

    I did not research the prices as I should have as there was a confluence of distractions in my life at the time of purchase. The sales person said that they would be slightly higher than Home Depot. Once I got settled, I went to Home Depot to compare the same door which was the Frenchwood 400 series. Home Depot priced out the same door with install for 3500.00 dollars less. On top of that, I was led to believe that the installers from Andersen were badged employees, and they are not. Good thing I did not close on a second door that I have and the 36 windows that I was considering doing with them. I will never buy a door or window from this company again. I will go with another company and get more value for my money.

    Good morning, Michael. Thanks for taking a minute to provide us with your feedback. I'm sorry to hear you're not happy with your decision though...is there anything specific about the product or the install that you need help with? I do want to clarify the difference between Renewal by Andersen and a retailer like Home Depot. Renewal by Andersen is full-service - that means we cover everything from sales and manufacturing to installation, service, and warranty. And we hire qualified, carefully vetted installers—and ALL of the  install crews (whether they are employees or contracted) receive the same extensive training in our products and our business and the Renewal by Andersen installation process. In addition, many of our installers complete the Certified Master Installer Program, which is an in-depth training program developed and led by each retailers specialists. We have install specialists who have been with us for many, many years. We do not sub out individual jobs to the lowest bidder; we hire installers and crews who pass our screening and training process.

    I will be passing your feedback along to the team you worked with right away so they are aware of your experience. If you have any questions or concerns about the product or the install, please let us know. Your warrantyu covers both! And we're here for you today, tomorrow, and down the road.

    Yesterday we had our 7th, 8th, 9th & 10th windows installed by Andersen. We have been replacing them over the past 4 yrs. Our big plate glass picture windows were the last to go. Now they are real functional windows. It was quite a job also. The installers worked 2 days from 8:30am-7:30pm. My wife couldn't get them to stop for lunch. Like our past 3 installations, these guys were terrific. Courteous and polite and oh so knowledgeable. They took such care of our house and cleaned up better than I would have. I wish they'd left the advertising sign in the yard when the job was finished. I'd love for neighbors to ask about the windows & the job. Our whole house is now Renewal by Andersen "equipped".

    Disappointing experience from a company with such a good reputation. They forced out the wrong window and when I pointed this out, they just hammered the damaged window back into place as if it was just business as usual. No apologies or offer of compensation. They also damaged a Cable TV line and it took them weeks to make this simple repair. As far as the product, they still use the old so called "lick and stick" trim that many other companies don't use any more. It has only been a month and it is already warped and peeling off and so our brand new windows looks like they are many years old! I should have done more research but I just figured what could go wrong with Andersen, a company with such a good reputation!

    Renewal by Andersen is a reputable company and I liked the way that the windows are made. The interactions with the rep were very good and during the installation process, the installers gave me a timeline and they came in on time. They started doing their thing, let me know that they would be in my way and they did it in a day. They were very professional. I had two small double-hung windows with a big picture window in between the first time I had Renewal by Andersen. I had that all replaced with one big window that has two sliders, one in each end. This last time, I had them design a kitchen window for me because I had two double-hung windows there, and they didn't work very well. It was so bad that I broke one of the windows. They designed one and put that in, and four double-hungs, two in each bedroom. I’ll have more down the line and I would recommend Renewal by Andersen to anybody.

    We ordered three windows and one set of French doors. Upon delivery, we found that two windows had defective glass and the French doors had defective frames. When the replacements finally arrived we had one window with defective glass and the doors still had the same frame defects. We were told this is a known defect from the factory. We got the window replaced and the defective frames repaired. However, when all was said and done we still didn't really have a finished installation. The inside trim was unfinished wood with gaps between trim and drywall. The outside was roughly trimmed with unfinished pine and a lot of caulk, with jagged metal on one joint. At this point I elected to finish the job myself. Also, after all the delays the customer feedback form had expired and they wouldn't provide another one.

    First, the installers scratched up the frame around the screens on one of the windows which I'm still waiting to get replaced. Second, now there's a seam that's opened up on one of the windows where it attaches to the frame inside in the kitchen. I paid a lot of money for these windows which I thought were top of the line and so far I am not impressed. I expected better than this especially for the price I paid. And I am concerned that this will happen to the rest of the windows that were installed.

    Renewal by Andersen had a promotion and it was buy one, get one window at 40% off. When I called them, it turned out that it wasn’t exactly that, but it was still a good deal. It was also easy to schedule someone who would come out and take a look. The whole process was incredible and I was super impressed. The guy who came out was very knowledgeable, really friendly and very respectful. He told me how much it would cost. Then he scheduled the guy to come out and do the measuring and all the other stuff. And that guy was fantastic. They offered to give me another percent off if I signed that day, which I did. I was already gonna go with it if it came in within my budget, so it wasn't really a hard sell for me. I could also finance it without putting any money down which was a great deal.

    Essentially, I replaced the windows with a similar style where the large section in the middle doesn’t open and the two on the side are sliders. Everybody who was involved was great and the whole thing was fantastic. I already recommended Renewal by Andersen to someone else. I’m absolutely thrilled with the windows.

    We needed to replace about 30 windows in our 25-year-old home. I conducted quite a bit of research to determine which company to go with. Each company visited us, measured windows and sent us a quote. Renewal by Andersen (RA) is different however. RA requires that both spouses participate in a 90-minute sales pitch, which concludes with a “commit contractually now” discount. We were impressed with the window quality even though the price was almost twice as much as the second contender, Pella.

    After ~ 6 weeks build time, we experienced the normal sloppiness of installation workers and RA dutifully addressed all of that. The more meaningful problem however, is that you cannot install inside-mount cellular shades on RA windows (at least ours). This resulted in a >$9K unexpected expense to an already high priced project. Fenstermann Blinds, a German company with German prices, provide the only solution (who interestingly was very familiar with the RA limitation in this regard). Most internally mounted cellular blinds cannot be used as they are 1.5 to 2 inches deep and RA windows allow only a ½ inch for blind installation.

    RA’s response that “it’s in the contract”. That statement, while being accurate, does not hold much moral weight given you have a “sign now” discount pressuring you to sign and not read a contract. Ideally, the salesperson would have explained the fine print as a part of an ethical sales process. I spoke with the regional manager, Mark **, about this suggesting that I would go ahead and buy the remaining $16K of windows if RA would consider a token discount to acknowledge the unexpected blinds expense ($1 k to $2 k for example). Have not heard anything back from RA yet and do not expect to.

    We had a couple windows done by Andersen and they were great. We were waiting to have more money to do the bigger picture window in the living room. The rep told us that they were not selling the same windows. They had an upgrade and it costs more. But we misunderstood him. So we had Home Depot who had the same windows, install the bigger window but they hired the poorest installers that the least money could buy. Although it was not a bad job, it wasn't a professional one either.

    I had stucco and a little was chipped before they started. I asked the guy to finish it off but he didn't have a product to do that. Then, he wanted to charge me more money to have it done but I said no. So he came back but I wasn't home. My husband said he pulled the product to fix the problem out of his truck and it was all dried up. Also, I was gonna have Home Depot come out again and put it in the other windows. They were sending out a guy to measure but he didn't show up. The guy called me and said he hadn't gotten the job ticket to call me and come out from Home Depot.

    So I paid at least $1,500 more to get an Andersen installer and got a really good, professional and quickly done job. They handled everything. It was expensive but I wasn't stressing out whether the job is done right or if I have ethical people working in my house. The quality of the windows they installed was great. We've got them in just when the hot weather was coming in and it has kept the house much cooler. We love Renewal by Andersen and it was worth the extra money. If it wasn't so expensive, we would have gotten the rest of the windows done but we gotta do it whatever the way we can.

Andersen Windows has a very good reputation for windows and I figured that the resale value with Andersen Windows would be much better than Jose's Windows that he made in his basement last week.

    The installers were good. They were here a little early on the first day and that was nice. They started unloading all the trucks and got started on the windows. The guy doing the outside work was literally running off the ladder. He was working his tail off. Then they sent two guys to do the windows and another crew to do the sliders. Because I had two big sliders to be done, those guys worked strictly on the sliders. One of the guys found some rot under the old slider when he took it out. He took all the rotted wood out and put a new piece in before he put the new slider in. That was a nice touch. I bought everybody steak tips and then we had a good time.

    We had an issue with some of the sliders though. When they unpacked it, it had some broken pieces so I set up an appointment with Renewal by Andersen.

    We had two Renewal By Andersen sliding glass doors installed in Oct 2018. During the installation the doors were found to have manufacturing defects. Since the defects were visual and did not affect the function of the door, they finished installation and ordered new doors. Approximately 6 weeks later the new doors showed up and again, the doors were defective. The finish was scratched on one and the other was so warped that it would not fit into the slot in the frame to close. Again, two more doors were ordered and scheduled for install. The next install date had to be rescheduled 3 times due to "manufacturing issues" at the factory. The 3rd set of doors finally showed up and were installed on Apr 27, 2019. And while they look and function great, we were expecting far better factory quality for the price we paid.

    We are extremely happy with the Arizona distributor and their installation team, absolute professionals and great to deal with. The doors are nice, as they should be for $15,000 for the pair. If you are willing to be flexible and wait for six months as we did, they will eventually get you the product you paid for. There are several good door and window companies to choose from, some less $ and some more $. Do good research before you decide and pay attention to review dates as they tell a story for current conditions. Maybe hold off payment until installation is final?

My French doors had a crack on the left panel. I was told that they would make a new one in MN. In the meantime, they didn't have the correct hardware. We now have blackish bronze door knobs, and bright golden brass. After waiting a long time to schedule a return appointment, we were scheduled to finish the job Aug. 6th. They came on time... but again they did NOT have the correct parts.. No door hinges. At least they had a door panel, but We are STILL waiting to hear from them as to when we will finally have this project done.

    So from April to mid-August; we are still waiting. Meanwhile my girlfriend also had her windows changed. She chose a local company and was finished in a few weeks. Wondering why this is happening to us??? FYI They will hard sale you: they will give you a discount BUT only if you take it while the salesman is in your house. Make them your last call because not everyone can afford them. While we do like the windows, I just can't give them more stars because the wait is ridiculous.

    Original Review: Things you should know: yes their products are the best, if you have the sales rep come to your house he will give you a quote but it's a, "Take it now or the price goes up" if I leave situation. Make them your last call. They are not cheap, so expect to pay a premium. We used them because my husband did like their windows and looked at them at an Expo ahead of time. So the decision was already made to get them.

    On installation day, the team came and the crew did a fine job and did a very nice clean up. Had two Supervisors come to watch demo. They saw the workmen carrying heavy windows out and neither bothered to help. Wish they were here at the end of of the day cause that's when things go wrong. Our windows came out great. Just FYI, noticed that there are no handhelds to open or close. But the French doors are not finished. Our doors are white and we ordered white handles. We got brass hinges, bronze handles and a black threshold. Also one door panel had a crack in it, so they have to remake it in Minnesota.

    It's been a month now, still waiting. They will give you a list of "team members", but most of them don't answer your e-mails nor answer your phone call. I finally got one nice guy to look into it. He says while the hardware is here, there doesn't seem to be any order for a new panel. Hard to make plans wondering when the doors will be finished. We also were having security screen doors put in, but that's now on hold because they need to see the measurements of a finished French door. I live in LA, hoping the Torrance team can fix this matter. Seem like nice people...if you can catch them.

    I am a retired senior citizen and on February 1, 2019 I had purchased two brand new picture windows for just under $6000 from their salesman Alex. I ordered laminated windows and Alex told me that these windows were “bulletproof” and then changed it later to “bullet resistant.” Then I found out later from the General Manager, Steve and the corporate office of Andersen windows that that fact is not true. I guess it was just a sales tactic I said to Steve and he told me, "We try to gain our customers' trust." I thought, "That's sure a strange way of doing it." On April 8, I had my two new windows installed at my home. After installation, I found several flaws in between the glass. There was a bubble at eye level, black smudges and scratches and these flaws were not fixable. I immediately contacted the contractor and their representative Mr. Luis ** was sent to my home the next day.

    Mr. ** inspected my windows and took photos of the defects. He told me that two new windows would be ordered and delivered on May 17. He also reassured me, that when his store receives my second pair of windows, he personally would inspect them for defects. On May 17, my second pair of windows were installed and again, the same issues were visible. I guess my windows weren't inspected as promised by Mr. **. These windows had a small bit of debris in between the glass and then later, I noticed numerous scratches inside and out and smudges between the glass. These windows are very expensive and with the Andersen seal on them, you think you would be getting a quality product because of their reputation, but something must have changed with their manufacturing process for this to happen TWICE.

    These are windows that should have been rejected at the factory and not delivered at my home. But money seems more important than customer satisfaction. These windows are now permanent at my home and I'm stuck having to live with them knowing the problems they have. The contract that I signed, seems to protect the company, but who protects me? My money was purchasing brand spanking new windows and not flawed one. If I knew ahead of time I was going to get such merchandise, I would have canceled my order. Flawed merchandise seems to be a continuous problem with this company and as a customer, I should not have to pay for this. But by not paying the remaining amount due, my warranty is void. BUYER BEWARE.

    And I do have to mention the following. While Mr. ** was at my home inspecting my windows he decided to bribe me twice to appease me, First, by offering two free tickets to a show including dinner. Then the second window incident he offered me a free Andersen product. He mentioned a free sliding door but told me that their doors have issues before they’re even installed. He told me that they usually end up with a dent in the frame due to the way they are shipped from Minnesota. I guess he told me that to discourage me from accepting his offer because I rather not continue to have this ongoing NIGHTMARE.

    I have yet to see anything in exchange for the headache they put me through. It would make me very happy to have my hard earned money back though. This purchase was my second one from Renewal. The first purchase was just as bad. Now I have learned the hard way. Do not trust Renewal by Andersen. PERIOD! And take notice on how many complaints this company has received just this month alone.

    Renewal by Andersen installed the patio door and the timeline they gave me for the installation was very accurate. But we’re not too happy with the screen door part. It is very flimsy. Then as for the glass part, when you slide it and you wanna open it all the way, it’s very difficult to open. The product was very expensive too, so I hope it lasts. I chose Renewal by Andersen for their reputation. When I initially spoke with their representatives to purchase the door, my experience was also very good. I was impressed with their knowledge.

    We love Justin, the salesman of Renewal by Andersen. We had our windows done and then when we needed another window, my husband said to call Justin and see what he had to say. And he came over within a day and told us about it, showed us what we needed. Then when we needed the doors, we called him again. We’re also very happy with the doors. The installation guys were also really super. However, one thing I have a problem with is getting the window open. I read in a booklet that it said to get some dry lubricant from the hardware store. So, I had to get that but I haven't had gotten around to using the dry lubricant yet.

    We were impressed with the sliding glass door. The rep from Renewal by Andersen was a good salesman and we had a good rapport with him. He was pretty accurate when he said how many weeks it was gonna take to get the door in and when the door came. One-half of it was damaged, but it wasn’t damaged enough that it couldn’t be usable. So, it was installed and then they ordered us a new one, and when it came, they came and switched them. The door has very good quality. We love it. It was pretty pricey, but as far as the door goes and the installation, we were very happy.

We could play and really get our hands on them. We then agreed to go forward and I purchased double hung windows from them. We got their measurement folks in and got the installation scheduled.

I made an appointment for three days later. The same day as I made the appointment, two different young ladies called and asked all the same questions again including verifying my information. I explained I had already done this twice (on the third call).

    On the day they were to arrive for the consultation, I waited additional 20 minutes past the time they were to arrive. I called and asked if they were on their way. The assistant looked for my information and then said, "Well I don't know why they aren't there." I said, "Well don't they normally call if they are running late." She said, "Normally. Well, wait a bit longer and if they don't show up, we'll send out the search party." An hour an a half later, no show, no call.

    We had eight Renewal by Andersen picture and casement windows installed last week. At first glance, we were very excited about the visually-pleasing aesthetics of the windows. Upon further inspection however, every window has a gap in each corner (32 sites) that now needs to be "covered up" according to the company we purchased them from. Apparently we aren't the first customers to have this issue. One gap is almost 1/4"! This is definitely a flaw in the manufacturing of the window and not the installation process.

    We thought we were purchasing windows that have a good track record but obviously this is an issue that Renewal by Andersen can't get right, or doesn't care to. Until this problem is rectified, we would be very hesitant to purchase these windows again. They are not a cheap product by any means, and we don't mind spending the money if we're getting a product that is worth it. We should NEVER have to do additional work to brand new windows to cover up a flaw because Renewal by Andersen can't get their act together. A product that is known to be defective should not continue to be sold!!

    We liked Renewal by Andersen's convenience and reputation. We went with them and got casement windows. We also did a slider door, regular doors and French doors through them. Their reps were very informative and we were very pleased with them. They were knowledgeable and patient. However, the process ended up taking a little longer because we had to deal with the rainstorms. Still, they were ready to go when they said they were gonna be.

    But then there is an issue that got lost in the cracks. I have this desk that's made of glass and the front drawer got cracked during the installation. The installer said they would replace it but then they called me not too long ago to close up the account with however many hundred dollars left on the thing. I told them that I'd be happy to send it to them but my drawer front wasn't replaced yet. Still, the installation went well.

    I talked with Brian from Renewal by Andersen and he told me all the ins and outs of windows and what advantages they had, like improving the appearance of my house, the value of the house if my mom and dad decided to sell, and how nice the windows would look. His friendliness and that he was kinda like a family friend instead of a salesperson were what impressed me the most. Then, even though it rained one day during the installation, they hurried up to get through before the rain started. The installers all seemed like they knew what they were doing and they protected my drapes and the carpeting. And they were very friendly and nice.

    I had Renewal by Andersen rework my Andersen window. My husband installed an Andersen bay window like 35 years ago and it needed updating. The windows were shot and the dual panes were leaking. The vinyl had gone bad but the inside was still good so we left that. Everything was excellent and Renewal by Andersen completed the installation in the timeline provided. They were wonderful. They were always on top of making sure I understood when they were coming out and meeting everybody's need.

    However, it would have been nice if the salesman contacted us one last time or stopped in to look at it and make sure he was happy with everything. He said, "Oh, I'm gonna be out here a lot," but when they were installing, we never have saw him or talked to him since. We signed the contract that night and that was it. The salesman has never contacted me since. Nothing. Not even a phone call. The other thing I'm a little angry about is my son got windows from them. I used him as the referral and they were supposed to pay him $100 which he's never gotten yet. When I brought it up to one of the workers, they said, "Oh, we have to complete the job first."

    Our experience with RbA was terrible and we will be highly recommending to everyone I know that they NOT use Renewal by Andersen. While the initial Sales Representative and Operations Manager separately met with us at our home to provide us a quote/contract and take follow-up measurements, the communication with them beyond this was extremely challenging and I never got the full information they indicated I would receive.

    We initially signed a contract with them due to the Sales Rep indicating that due to the size of the job we would likely have our window installed with 5-6 weeks. We had to give them a 50% deposit upon contract signing and this is where everything went off track. I had to repeatedly initiate contact to try and get status only to receive a voicemail from the Operations Manager FIVE WEEKS AFTER signing the contract stating they would not be able to manufacture our window and would be returning our deposit.

    After repeated attempts to contact the Operations Manager and getting a message that his voicemail was full I sent a text message asking for an explanation why they could not manufacture our contracted window and why I still did not have a credit multiple days later after his message stated it would be processed right away. I never was able to get any further information from them but was finally credited 10 days later for our deposit.

    I truly believe they never intended to produce our window. At one point the sales rep told us he would sell to us even though his boss told him he should not quote us a job of this size. I feel they took our money for 5+ plus weeks knowing they would never honor the contract they made with us. We went to RbA based on the all of the remaining windows in our home being Andersen windows of great quality. RbA is a joke and I am disappointed they are associated with Andersen Windows. We are having to start over with a reputable company to get a much needed replacement window. I will be reporting RbA Alabama to the BBB and filing a complaint with the Attorney General with hope it keeps others from experiencing this type of disservice.

    Not happy with the outcome. I Purchased windows in a patio door. The cost was over $27,000. I had a problem with the back patio door. It had a chip in it. They said they couldn’t fix it and they won’t replace it. I figured out why there was a chip. When it was installed the installer didn’t adjust the door correctly so I tried to get Andersen to fix the door. They said they couldn’t fix the chip, that it would have to be replaced and that I would have to spend over $1000 for replacement on one side of the door. I’m sorry but when you spend over $27,000 on doors and windows and they tell you that they stand behind their doors and windows and then they tell you you have to purchase another door to replace it because there’s a chip in it it’s a hard pill to swallow.

    The initial process as far as getting a and getting windows installed quickly was great. We were very impressed by the fact that they were building an hour window frames right in our driveway brand new to put up. We thought, "wow this is great!" What a facade that all was. The installers installed our patio door backwards. When I mentioned to them that it looked weird, they blew me off as if I wasn't even there. I should have known then. We are about 18 months into owning our windows and had tried repeatedly to get them serviced and up to par for what we paid. I don't believe that will ever happen. When we did finally get a service guy out the guy was a condescending jerk.

    Only half of our windows actually lock. And every time we've had someone come out to service them they never seem to have a problem locking them. But when I try, come on, they don't lock. They then tried to explain to me how to lock it as if I'm new to the world. Even showing them that they will not lock for me nothing is ever done. There shouldn't be some sort of trick to locking a window. The windows are incredibly heavy stiff and funny enough did not even come with handles. Those were an extra. On the day of install we were told that and it about blew my mind. The patio door that was originally installed backwards took 5 weeks to be re installed correctly and in the meantime had water leaking through the door. The frames are incredibly cheap even though you're told they're indestructible.

    We had the bathroom window frame crack and a big chunk fall off just by opening the window. It then took several weeks for them to come even look at it and then several more weeks to get the part replaced. We now have the beautiful frames that were built for us literally falling off the wall just from opening the many blind. Not only does it fall off but it hit my husband in the face and he now has a large cut in welt on his eyelid. More of my windows do not lock any longer and all they tell us is to keep them locked when they're closed. And how exactly do you expect me to do that when they don't lock? This company is a joke. We financed the install so when we were calling for over 2 months to get a hold of them about the locks originally with no return call we contacted our finance company. They were also unsuccessful with getting a hold of them. Quite ridiculous.

    When they finally did call us back we were already disputing the charges with our finance company due to the fact that they were not fulfilling their end of the contract by servicing our windows for life. It was a shame that it was only a few weeks after the install. We have had nothing but issues and are finance company is now eating the bill because I refuse to pay it. I will be taking this matter up legally because we are getting no resolution and I paid far too much for these windows for them to put these pieces of garbage In my home instead of the quality windows that I paid for.

    Nice windows and they've worked out well in our 100 yr-old historic home, however the customer experience has been very dissatisfying. In particular:

    1) Was told in person and in writing multiple times that quote included customer interior color. Sales guy called later to say that was a mistake. They wouldn't own the mistake and wouldn't even split the difference on the windows in question.
    2) Installation date had to be rescheduled twice on their account.
    3) One of the windows was cut to the wrong size. Was told 3-4 weeks to get the correct one. 6 weeks later and still don't have it nor have received an update.
    4) Wrong hardware installed initially on a couple of the windows.

    5) And then install crew thought they were done, but 2 windows weren't installed. Three days went by and I had to finally call the "production manager" to ask when they were going to finish. He thought the job was done and he was hearing that for the first time... from me!

    I contracted for installation and finishing (painting and staining) of all the windows in my house. Installation was good, after which they asked for payment. The next day was to be the finishing. The painters arrived, did some work, but left scrapes and chipped paint on and around every window, including walls where the tape ripped off paint. When I asked what was going on, the painters said that was the installers’ fault and not their job. I’m left with a mess.

    A third of my windows arrived damaged. The manager from Andersen said they'd put the replacement windows on the fast track. I didn't hear anything from Andersen. After we were well passed the promised date I left a message with customer service (yes left a message because why would a CS team be available to speak with customers) my windows were magically ready for installation; unless an amazing coincidence it would seem the replacements were ready and no one was managing my project. A year later after starting a recent remodel project, my general contractor pointed out that Andersen installed a window in my shower using a wood frame; of course now warped and window needs to be reinstalled as a result. Since Andersen customer service doesn't answer phone calls, I decided to try emails. They don't answer those either.

    I have been involved in a 2 year battle with Renewal over a patio door they installed but do not fabricate (Provia). The door has never worked properly. Got a lot of lip service at first. Even called my salesman who wouldn’t call back! He already made his money. I have already. Mind you paid them approximately $10,000.00. The door blows open in the locked position and last month we found our dog was outside when we returned home and door was wide open! So of course I have been calling leaving messages and no response.

    Well the other day I get notified I have been turned over to collections. So again for 2 days I keep calling and finally Scott calls back and tells me, “Pay your balance. We will take you out of collections and then fix the door!” Well that’s not how this is going to work Scott! First call to BBB, second call to the Consumer Reporter at News 8, third file paperwork with small claims court and fourth notify my insurance company what has transpired! I could go on with more but two quick things. I have pics and pics don’t lie and they will tell you they use their own people but that is not true. They use subcontractors!

    It started off with a pushy sales rep in our home who got us with the "save 20% by signing up NOW". We were impatient and agreed to have the 17 windows replaced for ~40,000$. Literally that night he leaves and I get the mail and there we have a flyer for the same 20% off that we could have used at any time in the next month and actually thought about our decision, but I guess that was our mistake.

    4 months later two guys show up and begin to hammer out our old lead paint covered windows, taking minimal to no EPA-based lead precautions, starting with our 5 year old son's room, and with everyone in the house! My wife about had a heart attack. She asked "aren't you supposed to cover the windows first with plastic?" and the installer said "no we are taking them out from the outside, you don't need to do that" which is contrary to the EPA-based guidelines and the EPA pamphlet Andersen had provided us (as required by Federal law).

    So, my wife says she is going to call the supervisor and suddenly the installer says, "Oh sure I will put down the plastic. You don't need to call him," but she calls the supervisor guy who spoke to the two installers and told them to take the proper EPA-based precautions. They then took some (put down plastic inside but didn't seal it over furniture. Just laid it, didn't remove any furniture, didn't have us leave the house/area, put some plastic down outside but still the yard is covered in lead paint chips, did seal the interior window with plastic but still took it down to vacuum from the inside, didn't wear plastic booties, etc. We witnessed this and called the supervisor again and he AGAIN had to call the installers and tell them to follow the protocol. We asked for the supervisor to come to the house and he said no he would come out tomorrow (all of this happened today)!

    Overall, this has been a horrible experience. We are located in Swarthmore, PA if that helps you. We had a quote from Pella and apparently made the wrong choice. Not that I know if that they would have been any better, but I don't see how things could go much worse. I strongly advise against hiring Renewal by Andersen and want to stress you cannot trust the nearly exclusively positive reviews. I guess unfortunately we are the outlier. We feel taken advantage of and I want to protect other homeowners from these predatory and rather unsavory operators.

    Renewal by Andersen was recommended several times to me and a representative came out and went through everything with me. We discussed the window and there was one other door that I was going to have replaced. She explained how I could save some cost by doing the finishing work myself with a new wood trim instead of hiring somebody else or having their people come in and stain it. She was upfront about the pricing.

    I got two new patio doors and a custom window. I was told approximately when the windows would go in, because they had to be custom made. Their people came and the guys were fine. The crew came early in the morning, so they waited very patiently. I went to work and they called and let me know that the job was done. I came home and everything was done to my satisfaction. After they left, the guy said he wanted to come back at 3:30 and go over some stuff with me but he didn’t. It didn’t bother me though because everything was fine.

    We chose Renewal by Andersen over other window retailers due to their brand image and recognition here locally in Minnesota. We had them replace the sliding door. They gave us a timeline on how long that would take and they matched that timeline. So, it was two months from placing order until we got the door. The representatives were very professional and answered all our questions.

    It was a one-day installation. I was a little disappointed that the first installation wasn’t going smoothly. The installer should have raised his hand at that point, but he didn’t. Then we saw a commercial and we realized that our door wasn’t opening that smoothly. When they came back out to check the door, they didn't argue but quickly said that they would get it fixed. So, they followed up nicely. They came back and replaced one of the doors which wasn’t sliding smoothly, then they also provided free staining for the whole door. The cost is middle-of-the-road. It’s a little higher than others, but you pay for what you get in the quality. If I need a window or another sliding door to be replaced, I would select and use Renewal by Andersen again.

    Renewal by Andersen is a little bit more expensive but one of the best companies 'cause what they do is they come out, measure, make the windows and put them in. They don’t have all these subcontractors coming and going. In other words, they start right at the beginning of the job to the very end. Their rep was very professional and knew his stuff. He seemed really concerned to make sure everything was done right and then got back to me a couple of times to make sure everything was A-Okay.

    I got two triple glazed slider windows in the bedroom, a patio door and then the living room window had to be custom-made because it was an oblong shape and was almost from floor to ceiling. They wanted to do it in February but here in the Midwest, we have a polar vortex which brings really cold weather with a lot of snow in February. So I said no and they waited until after it was warmer. Luckily, the weather cooperated when the installers came out. They did the two upstairs in the bedrooms in one day. Then they came back and did the other lower level the next day. They were here pretty much for a full eight-hour day and did an excellent job. Renewal by Andersen was well worth it and I would recommend them. They knew exactly what they were doing and the quality was excellent.

    The installers did a great job, they completed the removal & installed the new slider in just under 3 hours, did a great job on the out side caulking and complete cleanup, but I had one little problem, the style of the handles on the slider prevents the door from being opened to its max, you lose about 2 1/2 “because of the D shape. Looks Great but I wanted the extra couple inches so I contacted my sales rep Jeff, explained what I needed and he got right on it, called me back after talking with the manufacturer and came up with a couple of options to replace the outside handle and give us the extra 2 1/2”.

    No wonder that they wouldn't give any information over the phone because now, that I see people's reviews and how much this company charges, it's insane! So after I called them twice and both times asked for an estimate over the phone just so I would see if their prices worth my time to schedule an in home consultation with them, they both times refused to give me any information whatsoever over the phone.

    Hi Kateryna, thanks for taking a minute to reach out about your experience with us. It's very likely that when you called, you spoke to our scheduling department. They do not have pricing information. And because our windows and patio doors are custom crafted to fit the exact measurements of each opening, we offer many different window styles, and there are so many features to choose from, you'll need to set up a free in-home consultation with one of our design consultants in order to get pricing specific to your project. During your consultation, you'll have the opportunity to learn more, ask questions, have your windows measured, and learn about special offers and financing in your area. After your initial consultation, they'll leave you with accurate window or patio door pricing good up to one year. Windows and patio doors are a big investment, and we want you to make the most informed choice available. Having said that, I am sorry for your experience and for the inconvenience this cased. I'll be forwarding your feedback along to the team in your area and want you to know we'll use your comments to better our processes. Thanks again for reaching out. Whoever you decide to go with, we wish you the best of luck with your home improvement project. Enjoy your weekend.

    Renewal by Andersen did a patio door which went great from start to finish. It took six weeks to get the patio door, and then they were here for three hours. They were very professional and they did a good job. Everything turned out good. The cost is high, but hopefully we have a good quality product.

    I had Renewal by Andersen replaced 12 windows in our home. The maintenance started getting too much because my home is getting old. Renewal was able to give me a timeline on how long everything would take, and the job was completed in that timeline. I had simple and easy interactions with the reps and the installation team.

    I got into Rural King in Washington, PA and I did some pool shopping. There was a lady there that had a stand set up and she was doing some advertising for Renewal by Andersen. We happened to be looking into getting doors and windows at the time and I got the brochure off of her, then we made an appointment. We had five windows installed as well as three doors and two of them were modifications. They had to custom-make one of the doors that we got, so that took a little bit longer, but I’m not complaining. I’m extremely happy with it. We also had a great experience with Renewal's reps.. The salesman, Jesus, would check in on us and he’d give us constant updates. And the project manager was very friendly and he checked up on us as well.

    There were two separate installations but the installers did everything except for the one door that was on backorder. There were six people and at first, they had it done in one day for the first round of work. You couldn’t even tell they were here. They were very clean and professional. The craftsmanship was also very good. I'm in construction myself and I can tell when I get a quality product. So far, we noticed a reduction in the draft from the doorways and we have a slight ant problem here but the ants can't get in anymore. So, that’s also a good thing. Renewal's reps did a good work and there's not one complaint I can find about them. When we get the funds for the next round, we'll be calling them again.

    I had two other windows installed towards the back of my house and we liked them so well. Andersen did some other windows long time ago and I decided I would like to stay with them. Last year, I had a fellow come out for an estimate. But at the time, the cost seemed rather high, and he apparently saved all my information because when I had called him back, not only did they do the five windows upstairs, but the two that they were gonna do last year. He was really appreciative that I called him back. We got five windows on my third floor and two on the first floor.

    Renewal by Andersen gave me a specific date and they were here on that day even though it was a little bit chilly. The installation team was very good including the man that was in charge. He came in, explained what they were gonna do in each room, put all the material on the floor, covered the furniture even plastic up the stairs, took everything away, cleaned up extremely well. Everything was done by 3:00 in the afternoon. I like my new windows. I don’t like that I have to sand them down and finish them, but that’s no problem as soon as the weather breaks.

    I liked what Andersen had to say. I like their product and I like the vertical integration. And from start to finish, you go to them if there’s any issue. You also don’t have multiple contractors that you’re working with and I like that aspect of it. Plus, they build windows from custom measurements and they installed them. And if there’s any problem with the hardware and materials, I have confidence that Andersen will make it right. So, I went and purchased nine large windows from them. I spoke with Sean who came out and sold me the package. Then there was part of the installation crew that came out and did the final measurements. They were the actual installation crews themselves and they were excellent. I had a very good interaction with all of them.

    They installed everything within one day but when one of the bay windows in the upstairs bathroom was removed, it was noted that due to the failure of the old window, the window frame and headers had experienced rot. So that window could not be installed until I contacted a stucco contractor to take down all the stucco sheathing and the frame after removing all the rotted wood. Once that was done, a new team came back and installed the final bay windows in the bathroom.

    The second crew did an outstanding job. It was a very difficult installation and it was cold. There was snow all over the place. And Tom, the lead carpenter, took the time that it took to get the window leveled and to get the window installed properly. He did a great job. Renewal by Andersen was also very good in terms of rescheduling and coordinating with the other contractors. So, that all went very well. The windows cost a lot of money but time will tell if their quality is good and I’m really hoping that they hold up well.

They gave me a timeline of three to four weeks after the final measurement for the windows to be installed and they met every one of my expectations. They took the old windows out, got rid of them and had the new ones installed by the time I got home from work. They're beautiful garage windows.

They were very old and they opened out. They were glass so when they open and the wind blew, they would open out and smash against the brick building and glass would be shattered down on my sidewalk. I was very scared that someone would get hurt and I needed to take care of it, so I did.

    I got a price on a vinyl installation from Window World and then I also got a price for my patio sliding door from Renewal by Andersen. The price was so close that there was just no decision on my part to go to the better product. It was a special order so I had to wait two months. And it was right on the money. When they said it would be there, it was there so everything was good.

    The rep took measurements and went over all the products and colors and gave us a price. And then, once I decided to go ahead with it, I called whoever it is that schedules and the scheduled guy came out. He measured it closer to fine tune it and get it perfect. And then, when the windows came, that guy came also with sort of his installation crew, which were top-notch experts on everything they did. I've been in construction 40 years and these guys were perfect. I tried to hire them, see if they would come work for our company and do window installations, but they said no.

    The sliding door is great. My daughter loves it every day. They had a French door so this is just so much better. I would recommend it to everybody. It's a good product It was one turnkey.

    I bought windows for my house from Renewal by Andersen. They are the best windows available in my opinion. 90% of the windows I bought are sliders, two had to be crank-out and one had to be a double-hung. The windows I received were first rate. When we had Andersen out here 12 years ago, Russ came. He was a genuine, good man. When I answered the door this time, he also came out, and that was reassuring. Russ gave me the full spiel, described all the windows, all the financing and the construction, the timeline, and what kind of people were coming into my house to put in windows. He was great.

    The installers were great. They were clean, thorough and well-mannered. I never saw them stop to take a break. They just went and went. Everything was perfect. They noticed that there was one ding in one window frame. It was a nick in the paint and had I found it, I would've taken a magic marker, touched it up and called it good. But they saw it and I’m getting the whole set replaced. Everything had to be perfect with those guys. I would recommend Andersen over anybody. They are the best I've seen.

    Update 04/30/2019: RBA does not stand behind their promises which they advertise. The branch manager David R was very rude and when asked him to put down his proposal in writing he said he would do no such thing. Also told him I would put his conversation in my review and he said to go ahead as he didn’t care. I think you would be better off going with the main company Anderson. RBA simply does not care!

    I believe strongly to help others be aware. I had about 12 windows installed by Renewal when we moved into our new home as there was wood rot. About $16000 worth. The rep that came in promised all the frames and wood rot would be replaced. Not knowing much about windows the project was done and a few weeks later my handyman told me none of the frames or wood rot was repaired. Got Renewal out again and we managed to work together and got full inserts done on 7 windows. About 4 years later we started getting ice on the inside panes of the window during the winter. Called and a rep would come twice here and there every year until 3 years ago.

    I started taking photos so I had proof of it all. Then nobody would return my calls or even show up until finally last year I persistently kept calling and John showed up. He measured the gas and looked at the pictures and admitted that there was gas leaking. Apparently a defect with all windows that were manufactured that year. Finally got them to replace the windows but what they did is shocked me. They replaced the cranking windows with just new inserts (glass panes completed at factory). We have 1 picture window which the tech cut the existing glass around the frame and replaced it with new glass and caulking the glass. There was another small stationery window between 2 cranking ones - the same thing cut the glass and replaced it with new glass.

Moreover, the installation was completed within the timeline they gave me.

    The quality of the windows was pretty good. But I had my kitchen window replaced two times because there were imperfections in the glass. There was a bubble or a nick in the first one. Then they brought another window. I was cleaning it and it had a nick. They were out in the truck and I ran back out to tell them that there was a nick in the glass. I told the guys that they should clean the windows after they peel the film off. They should do a final inspection before they leave the scene.

    Just had our Renewal by Andersen windows installed. The guys worked hard and knocked out the job in one day. No tearing up the house over many days. They were all very professional, courteous workers. No cussing language on the job or any other unprofessional behavior. Everyone was very polite and professional. The windows are superior quality and the install was fantastic. Every detail taken care of. They cleaned up after themselves and took all the trash away. We are looking forward to a lifetime of service from these new windows. I highly recommend these installers and their windows. I can't say enough about how happy we are with the end result. Thanks guys for all your hard work.

    I replaced 11 windows in a 115 year old home with Renewal by Andersen - $12K. On the day of installation, I was clear that the existing window panes were to be saved - they are original float glass I intend to use in kitchen cabinetry and are expensive too and almost impossible to source. Within minutes one of the crew had broken 2 panes. I stopped him, explained again and reiterated my concerns to the lead. Minutes later the same installer manhandled another window and broke it over his head! Blood everywhere - I had to bandage him so that he could go to the ER. Broken glass inside, outside, on furniture and yuck, blood all over my good shoes.

    The remaining crew worked well past dark ... in the rain. Seems pretty stand up until you look at the trim and mantles. The finish work isn't complete and the mantles that were installed are at least 6 inches short. THREE months later the "replacement" mantles are still not installed because they are waiting on parts. My salesman was great, the windows are too. But the experience and final result have been poor.

    I usually don’t do reviews but after the experience I had with this company felt it might benefit others. In Pennsylvania you have 3 days to cancel your order or pay hefty cancellation fee. In our case would have been $ 3500. For 5 windows we paid over $ 10,000. You do the math. $2000 window. We realized too late to cancel the windows. Yes they do subcontract. But are trained by the company to do the work. When they measure beware that they have a different way to measure. Three of our windows were 3 inches shorter. Now another 2 weeks to fix. If want a darker room with less light and the look of a smaller window this is for you. Make sure you have at least $10000 to $2000 sitting around your house so can buy them without having to finance them for for 10 years like us.

    Hello - First, thank you for taking a moment to leave feedback. We appreciate it--all comments, positive or constructive--are important.

    Every company, product, and process is different--some more than others, so it can be difficult to compare apples to apples. Windows are a big investment, and we DO want customers to do their research, so they know what they are getting. With Renewal by Andersen Signature Service, our homeowners are not just getting a custom window, they are getting one-company accountability, as we are full-service. We design, manufacture, sell, install, and stand behind our windows--and our process, and we find that that model creates a streamlined, hassle-free approach that our homeowners appreciate, and it gives them peace of mind.

    I do not know whether you elected to look elsewhere or not, but I thank you for considering Renewal, and thank you for reaching out to us, as well.

    Please realize that most reviews are left shortly after the door is installed and the buyer loves the way it looks and operates. It is at least a year, or a few years later when you really figure out if the item was worth the price you paid. One year into a 5 year warranty, with a soft breeze our door swung open, the supposed "tempered glass" exploded and fell all of over our doorway. The frame holding the window, which is made of thin plastic broke at the section where it screws into the door. The gas powered shock that should have prevented it from swinging open so hard did not do its job.

    I reached out to Andersen to find out their 5 year warranty isn't worth the paper that it is written on. The warranty only covers the parts from very particular manufacturer defects, the caveat is that it does not cover anything that is affected by external forces. External forces is such a comically vague phrase that it could be crafted to cover virtually anything that has any connection with how the door fails, such as wind, the elements, time, being opened too many times etc. This means that 98% of warranty claims can and will be denied based on this vague phrase. Many of the parts on this door are made of thin plastic and are NOT built to last. Do yourself a favor and buy a better brand!

    Got a quote for more than $8,000 to replace a patio door, but the salesperson won't itemize the cost or break it down for the cost of the door, installation labor cost, etc. Bad experience when they won't provide details of the costs. Never had that experience, any reputable builder, remodeler, etc. will provide an itemized, detail breakdown of costs, for the door/windows and labor, etc.

    The salesperson bragged about the expert installers who complete the job in 4 hours. So was the door really $7,000 and the labor $1,000, or was the door $4,000 and the labor $4,000 or??? Seems pretty suspicious and shady when they won't break down the costs for the door vs. labor. If you go to Home Depot, they WILL tell you the exact cost of the door and the exact cost of labor and will not lump it all together in one price for $8,000 without an itemized breakdown! My suggestion for an Andersen door is go to Home Depot, you'll get a better price and a more honest and detailed quote.

    Our salesperson, Darin, seemed to be very knowledgeable and very personable. He assured me if we had any questions we could email him or contact Troy in the office for a quicker response... which turned out NOT to be the case. We were told by Darin that our current storms would leave a gap around the windows that would need to have cedar trim inserted if we wanted it to look nice. So we did that, to the tune of $1200. As it turns out, the installers have a wonderful sheet metal device that can make the trim any size to cover any gaps. They totally covered the gap that was filled with the trim wood, so we wouldn't have needed it after all.

    Several of our windows are second story above garage, so I asked if I could have the trim delivered ahead of time so I could paint it without having to climb ladders. The answer by Troy was no (after a delay of 3 days). When the installers arrived, they said, "It's too bad you didn't have the lumber ahead of time to paint it." Darin did tell us that replacing the basement windows would make little difference in our heating as they are at ground level, so that saved us quite a bit of money. Overall the installation was smooth, and the windows look wonderful. The guys removed the shutters and vacuumed the wall behind them. So we're very happy with the finished product.

    We got a double-hung window from Renewal by Andersen. They gave us a timeline on how long the window placement would take and completed it within that timeline. The personnel guy was good. He came by during the installation and knew the product inside and out. I could tell that he has been with the company for a long time and knew everything. Then the installation went well. The crew was quick. When they left, I couldn't tell they had ever been here other than the new windows. There were no residues inside or out and there were just absolutely good windows where bad ones used to be.

    However, with regards to the financing, I was under the influence that I had a security, a one-year no payment. Since then, they've changed the terms twice already where I'm getting out a bill now and then I'll have a bigger bill later on. I'm not definite I would have done the windows right now if I have known how the financing was gonna work out. I guess we'll be done paying for it earlier. But I only blame the company that Renewal by Andersen used for financing.

    The rep that I dealt with from Renewal by Andersen was very professional. He was really, really good in what he does. He knew in fact what he was doing. He wasn't goofy at all. He just came and showed the product. He could sell anything. He was a nice guy, and he was really good. I got two windows and one sliding door, and I did the schedule with the installer. Once they scheduled it, they gave me a timeline of two days for the the job to get done. The guys who came to do the install were really good. They did it fast, and they cleaned it up after themselves. They did the perfect job. Once they were done, they showed me how to lock, unlock, and how to use and clean it.

    I was gonna place more windows in my house, and right now, I got eight more windows that need to be replaced. But price-wise, it is impossible to do it because for the one sliding door and two windows that I got done, I paid almost $9,000 for three pieces. If I do eight more, that is gonna cost me over $24,000. It is a good stuff, but it is too pricey. But there is no question about the quality. It is 100%.

    I live in a condo and needed 5 windows and a sliding patio door replaced to standards set by our HOA. The sales rep was pleasant, NOT pushy, very informative and offered options, not just one choice. Another rep came to measure just a few days after that and gave me a lot of helpful information how to get ready for the installers, and gave me a very accurate timeline. The installers came just after one of the biggest snowstorms we've ever had in this area, they shoveled some icy snow off my deck that I couldn't manage myself (to have more work space), removed (and neatly replaced) some tubing covers on my back wall around the patio door, that were in the way of a complete window installation (I was told I'd be responsible for removing these, I had someone do what they could but couldn't get it all, one of the installers, Victor, said "No problem!" and took care of it very efficiently!).

    It was very cold the two days the two installers were here (Victor and Valantyn), they were VERY polite, pleasant, conscientious, thorough, did their best to minimize the time with cold air coming in, completed everything in less than two full days, cleaned up SO well and took time to show me details of the new windows, patio door, how to remove them for cleaning. Even the woman who was my "case manager" called to check in before AND after the installation, I felt everyone was professional, followed through on what was promised AND I got a great discount AND I can already tell what a difference these wonderful windows are making, keeping it warmer inside, and quieter, too!!

    I had wanted to replace my patio door for several years but hadn't gotten around to doing so, so it was convenient for me to have a young man from Renewal by Andersen knock on my door and ask if I was in the market for windows/doors. All the windows and patio doors in my 34 year old home are Andersen and we haven't had any problems at all (except for the patio door we replaced) so I let him sign us up for an estimate.

    The following day we received a phone call to schedule an appointment for the estimate. We were told the estimate/demonstration would take approximately 90 minutes (which it did), and that we both needed to be present (which we were). On the day of the appointment, the salesperson arrived on time. He was good at his job and the demonstration was very thorough. I never really gave much thought to windows and doors so I was happy to learn so much about the product, the installation, the warranty, etc.

    The patio door we purchased was a standard 2 panel active/stationary door and our final cost was $4800. Six weeks later it was installed. The installation took approximately 4 hours. We had no issues at all from start to finish. Every employee we dealt with was considerate and knowledgeable about their job. The door turned out great, and I’m hoping to get another 34 (or more) years out of it.

    We had two other companies come and give us quotes and the process was very straightforward. The sales person came to our house, measured our windows, and give us a quote. It's a Friday night and we just sat through a Renewal by Andersen sales pitch that honestly lasted over three hours. The first clue that this was going to be a waste of time was the fact that we had to ensure both my wife and I were both here for the presentation. Annoying but okay.

    After measuring the windows we asked for the price. Nope. We had to watch the presentation. The kind of cheesy presentation that often accompanies the sales pitch for a timeshare. We had to endure a sales pitch, then presentation of literature. Then a video. We asked for the price. We were told that was next. Nope. Had to hear the sales pitch about why Andersen renewal windows are the best and everything else is garbage. So now time for the price. Nope. Another video. Then a presentation with an actual window he brought it. Look how it opens. Look how it closes. Then guess what, another video.

    Then finally at around 10:30 at night (mind you he arrived at 7:30), the price. First it was almost 50 grand. But there were coupons and deals. However the best deal was a special unadvertised one-time only pricing, but we have to sign the contract now. The price was 36k. Now this was about 12 grand more than the other 2 offers we already received. Now I know every company and every window is different. Maybe we were willing to spend the extra cash for a better product.

    We told the sales person we needed time to discuss this (plus we were getting one more quote this weekend). Again we were met with the strong sales tactic that this is a once in a lifetime only deal. He then pulled out a letter from the CEO stating this. We said for that much money we need time to think over. Well we were told if we don't sign a contract tonight, they will never honor the price again saying it's company policy. We were told it isn't fair to the other customers if we get this one time only deal again, but they don't. Here is a crazy idea, how about you treat ALL your customers with dignity and respect, and give them all that deal beyond that one time. That's because they are afraid you will go with another cheaper option, and they are trying to strong arm you into a sale.

    We asked the guy to leave. But did he; no. We then had to hear how it's cheaper because we are saving the company from having to reschedule the appointment, drive back down, sign the contract, and drive back. Well rescheduling the appointment is not rocket science. You look for an open slot and put us in it. As far as signing the contract, whether we do it now or later, it still takes the same about of time. Now I do agree that driving to our house and back does take some time. But thousands of dollars does not justify an extra trip to and from our house. When we told the salesmen if he won't honor the price the following day or so after we had a chance to talk the response was, "This company isn't for you, this company is not for everybody." Really? So you basically said this company is only for people that don't want to weight their options and compare competitors products and prices. I wonder why that is.

    What are they afraid of. I'm sorry but an honest and reputable company doesn't operate that way. Are Andersen Windows better? We will never know. After what we just experienced, not only will we never be buying a Renewal by Andersen window, but we are going to make sure nobody else we know has to be subjected to what we just endured without being warned first. Shameful.

Then it took another month for stainers to come, they found a glitch, another month for the piece of frame to be replaced, another month for stainers to return. Ok, so now patience is really being tried right? If that’s not enough, we find that cold air is coming through the windows. One window even howled during a very windy day. The tech just left and now all the trim work has to be removed so that the windows can be “re-foamed” as the foam initially used was faulty. Another day (maybe two) lost.

Andersen will not replace the doors but rather wants the consumer to pay 50% of the cost for replacement. All my windows are Andersen and so far no problems. I am building a sunroom and would have used all Andersen if they had just replaced my door. I will never again buy from this company.

We asked over and over to give us prices and finally after 2 1/2 hours we finally got to pricing. He told us they were giving 20% off then was told if we made a decision tonight then there would be another 5% off but if we didn’t then we didn’t get the 5% because they drive all over the valley and needed to pay for that.

    It’s too big of a decision to make a spur of the moment decision like that and to lose it because you have to drive around to do business. Crazy. The quote was emailed to me in one lump sum not broke down by price of each window. He told us we could decide to do it all at once or in phases. Phases are hard to do when you don’t know pricing for each window. At the end he said usually an appointment last 60-90 minutes but because of the very few questions we had the appointment took 3 hours but really was because he repeated himself over and over and over.

Basically he rang my doorbell about 7 pm, it was clear I was home with my car in the driveway and lights on. He rang my doorbell again and again. I didn’t answer because I didn’t want to. Then he started POUNDING HIS FIST ON MY DOOR! Like I was obligated to open my door or he wouldn’t leave. I was angry about it but treated him with respect saying, “No thank you. I'm not interested.”

    The installers, Jacob and Brian, arrived on time. They covered my wood floors with protective material to prevent damage. They set up work stations outside on one of the coldest days of the year. Brian shoveled a path along the side of the house, into the backyard, and up the deck steps, so they could come and go while working. One worked outside and the other inside. Because of the way they worked, my house stayed warm. They did all of the prep work before removing the old door and putting in the new. We were without a door for a very short time, minutes, perhaps only seconds. They cleaned up completely before leaving. They had been gone about 5 minutes when I tried the key. It didn't work. I called the office, they called Jacob and Brian. They came back immediately, checked the key again and ordered a new one. Overall, they were friendly, accommodating, clean, efficient, and effective.

    We purchased windows from Renewal by Andersen. They had to be done the way the association wanted it and exactly the way the old windows were. It took them three days to replace the windows. Then the windows had to dry for a while and then the painters came. The timeline was very precise and it was exactly as they predicted.

    Renewal by Andersen also gave us the option that part of the house would be done first and then the next part. It didn’t have to be all in one thing. And so, I opted for half of my windows and those were seven windows of two different sizes. I had that done in full, and then I waited until Spring since I like to pay cash. Now, we are in the process of getting the second group of windows and a patio door done.

    I love the installers. They were well-trained and very polite. They talked a little but only when it was regarding their work. They're industrious too and did not take breaks in between. They worked and worked. It was a pleasure to work with them. The rep was excellent too. There were choices, like if I wanted to pay off right away, or if I wanted to pay later. He explained the financial situation and there was no pressure at all. I'm absolutely satisfied and anybody can hear how I feel.

    In the past, we used a local company but when I needed to have the windows replaced, I couldn’t get them to respond and come. I called them multiple times and I tried to talk personally with different people. Our maintenance manager suggested that I call Andersen and I did. I was impressed with the sales rep's professionalism, knowledge, and friendliness. The person was at ease and we had a nice conversation. My husband and I felt that he honestly represented both Andersen and us. Then, we had two gentlemen that came for the installation. One gentleman had his own company and he was very polite, very nice, and thorough and knew exactly what he was doing. I watched every step because it was interesting.

    The representative said there would be a lift, though, because they don’t let their workman be put in a dangerous situation but there was no lift used, which surprised me. But I have nothing against them. They worked all day long. The painter that came later was equally very nice, polite, and very professional. He did a beautiful job. Overall, they met our expectation and I have nothing but glowing terms for the people representing Andersen. They came the day and time that they said they would.

    Had a great experience with the sales rep. We agreed to purchase 4 sliders. He walked us through all of the processes of them building the doors and coming to measure and setting up actual installation. Initially we thought installation would have been early January, but it was moved to mid February. We were then asked if they could install 2 weeks early. We said yes. It was to be a 2 day project with 5 guys. Day one they come, it's 2 guys who get to work immediately! Super nice hard working. About an hour in another guy shows up and he jumps right in... They did 3 doors in the first day.

    The 2nd day 2 guys come and finish the 4th door and all the finish work. They never stopped they kept the work areas neat and clean and only stopped for their lunch break. My husband and I were so impressed with how they worked and their diligence and the overall job they did!!! They were a crew out of the Boston area and Russian...

Windows being wet and some freezing. I did not get these from Andersen direct. I got them from a Dealer in Cleveland, Ohio. I contacted him to explain and send pictures of the problem. He sent an email to a guy named Tony. Never got back to the dealer. The email was sent 1-31-19. I told the dealer how unhappy and disappointed I was in these windows and no service. He sent another email to a Ryan 2-7-19. No response yet. I see on other pages of Consumers Affairs. That several people have this air leakage and wetness and freezing problem.

    Update on 02/09/2019: I just want to add to my original post, that my windows are 2 years old. The drafts I’ve experience are from day one. Service came out and put little black foam in all the corner less than a year after I had them installed. Needless to say, it wasn’t a permanent fix. Was told this last time that they have different things & the first guy should of used them. Now with all my gaskets going to be replaced, I was told that they are “better made” & will fix the problem. My question to that is, why weren’t they used to begin with? The ones in there now are flimsy & weak. Then I was told my sills have dust & dirt on them & that can cause not getting a tight seal! Really? What window, with no storm window, exposed to the elements isn’t going to be dirty? When I told him that the worst window NEVER gets open, he had no more excuses.

    If nothing else, I hope that by reading my posts, you come away rethinking your thoughts on purchasing Renewal by Andersen. The last service guy even told me “We’re not Andersen. We custom make our windows.” Well guess what, so does Andersen! If you’re going to use their name, YOU ARE ANDERSEN! Over priced under value. Did you know they DONT HAVE A LIFETIME warranty like everyone else out there? Do your homework before buying any windows.

    Original: If you live in the Midwest or cold climate this is NOT a window you want to spend money on. Trust me, I did and regret it. On February 5th, at 8:23 AM, a representative from Renewal, Stan, came to my house to address the window issues I'm experiencing with all 16 windows. He determined that ALL gaskets (upper and lower) need to be replaced to correct the air infiltration the windows are experiencing. He agreed that there is not enough tension to the locks when engaged and that is the reason for all the problems.

    I have had Andersen windows in this house since it was built in 1983 and it wasn't until 33 years later that I had to replace them because the weather stripping and frames were failing beyond repair. During all those years, I had NEVER experienced anything like this and we have had many cold winters during this time. I am less than impressed and would never recommend or purchase from anyone associated with Andersen or its subsidiaries.

    To think that after only 1-1/2 the GASKETS need to be replaced is beyond comprehension. And to be told that I have a very good warranty and they should be replaced every 2-3 years is beyond ridiculous. There should be zero maintenance to the frame and its components for at least 20 years not every 2-3! I have an Andersen crank open type skylight and it does NOT get the condensation build up on it or have its gaskets replaced EVER. These windows are the reason I replaced my old ones, new and better, but they are worse than what I had for all those years. At least I could accept the condensation for their age and failing. There is NO EXCUSE for these. If you want to see my pictures go to https://www.facebook.com/renewalbyandersenchicago/ (Facebook page). Don't believe their hype when they come to pitch the quality and at the same time bashing the competition. The sell like the old stereotype of a used car salesman.

    Renewal by Andersen is considered the top of the line and I had heard great things from homeowners about the windows and how well they were produced and how courteous the staff was. I was given the information by requesting it from users and I found out when I used Renewal by Andersen that everything that was said was true. They also had a showroom in Livonia, which was convenient for me.

    I’ve called our salesperson each time and he was very courteous. He also had the ultimate product knowledge. After the first time, when he got the half-hour presentation and all the samples, I told him to get to the windows on the second visit and that I didn't need a sales talk because we were gonna do it. I also told him that I would pay half for the down and half when they complete it, so he didn't have to push me on the one-year. He backed off a little, although he wanted to tell me how good it was. I said that if I was gonna get one-year interest-free, then I was gonna pay it all at the end, I would have that hanging around. I don’t like things hanging around my neck. I’m a go-now, do-now guy, and he worked with me on it.

    I came on a three-part plan. I did a whole bunch of windows the first time, but I did a bit less the second time, and I’m gonna be doing the last two windows on the third. Then, I’m gonna save for number four because it is gonna be expensive. I have an 11-window home, which is a beautiful colonial in Canterbury Commons, and I wanted it to sparkle. The windows I got are just like a dream. I got the cut-ups and they are inside the window. The windows look smashing and they are put together. I’m already seeing savings on the coldness with the use of the windows that I have. They’ve been here two times doing a good job and they were able to start and complete their work, two men each in one afternoon or one day. When the guy came for the final measurement, he gave me the date. We were told by our salesperson that it was gonna be around five months away. He had given me a sales job and I told him the date was very good.

    We have the windows and I didn’t go very far off-field. I got a lot of standards, white frames and white windows, and white hardware. I didn’t make it difficult for the factory in Minnesota. As far as the kitchen window, we have a view window for my wife and she also loves the awning window. My wife was having a problem with the dinette window and it is pretty large. She was gonna surprise me one day and she got the window open because we could get it open and we could do almost everything from the inside. However, she couldn't figure out how to get it closed again, so we called the office again, but they didn’t have anyone that was in the neighborhood they could shake loose.

    Brandon, the general manager, was listening in to the receptionist trying to find a truck. He lives in Fenton and he said that he would come over. He did and he was super great. I asked him why he was making that call and he said, “Because customers are supreme.” He is a pleasant man and I could see why he is the general manager of the year. If I had a company, I’d hire him in a moment.

    I hear other people telling me what they did and I also hear that the windows freeze up on them, however, I don’t expect that with Renewal by Andersen's windows. I expect to pay a bit more and I’m probably paying around 12% to 15% more than the Livonia company, but it is worth it. Renewal by Andersen won’t get a complaint from me.

    We got some windows from Renewal and they said the window replacement would take a day, but it took them three. Initially they underestimated the complexity of the job, and then the first time they came out, they didn’t have the right permit. The second time they came out, they just couldn’t get it all done in one day. But the installers have been great and the quality of the windows is very good.

    We have an old farmhouse and my dad had put in some Andersen windows 50 years ago. They held up for a long time. They would probably still be holding up if there wasn’t some goof when they put aluminum siding on a couple of them, that were in pretty bad shape. What happened was the aluminum siding was covered over the sill, but they didn’t put any drain on there in case any water got in. The aluminum siding over the sill got water in it and it rotted it out. And so, the whole bottom part of the window started to go to heck. Now, new Andersen windows don’t use wood anymore like that and that was what forced me to replace these windows.

    The sales team have been really nice. They recognized that there was a goof in the window and they were fixing it as they go. But then there was a detail somebody missed, and then we had another problem. But I’m comfortable with it. I’m pretty sure we’re gonna get this all straightened out pretty well. I'm also having problems with the payment system. What sold me was the two years with no payments, no interest. And although I had to have it paid off by that time for 10 grand, I had basically four windows installed. I said I could nickel and dime it until it comes up toward the end and then I could just wipe it all out. 10,000 isn’t all that much. But we didn’t have it the right time, then they got it the right time, then all of a sudden I got payments to make which I’m not supposed to. That was the only goofy part about it, but they were working on it the last I knew. I’m confident they will get the payment situation straightened out.

    Also the windows and the installation work were top-notch, absolutely beautiful and high-quality. They did a very good job in a very short time and kept the place very clean. They are expensive windows, but they’re damn good. One was a large picture window. Another one was a not quite large picture window, but a open large swing window, and the others were the usual up and down windows. I’m very happy with it. I love the windows.

    I’m not in any way religious, but I do object to my day of rest being interrupted by banging on my door and ringing my bell. The moron employed by Andersen was unapologetic, saying he was calling on me because many on my subdivision were unhappy with their windows. The prat from Anderson was stupid enough not to notice I had already replaced my windows. I am so glad they’re not Andersen.

    A very nice, personable, and informative sales rep came out to our house to give us a bid on a front door with simple sidelights. (Renewal by Andersen is our local ProVia dealer.) After almost two hours at our home, he finally got down to numbers. Even after 'discounts', they wanted over $17,000 for a front door! We would be happy to pay a reasonable premium for a good product, but $17k+ is an outright scam. For reference, other bids for very good doors have been around $2,400. They know that most people will not pay this amount, but it only takes a few who don't know any better, and they'll still make a profit. Randomly the next day, I was visiting a local window dealer (not RBA). In short, the guy there told me that he gets stories nearly identical to this one about every 2-3 days regarding Renewal. It's their business model. Run away. Avoid it like the plague that it is.

    My experience with Renewal by Andersen makes me believe this company does not care at all about customers. I've tried blocking their incessant spam to no avail. Why? Because they continually change the sender's email address. If you mark one of their emails as spam is worthless because the next email will come under a different sender. I don't want their spam. Obviously they don't care what I want. So the question I have, why would I ever be stupid enough to do business with a company like this that from the very beginning of the relationship has demonstrated they don't give a crap about what I as a potential customer wants. Today, Jan 26, 2019 I received 5 emails from Renewal by Andersen and every last one of them came from a different email address. Thanks jerks for clogging my inbox.

    We heard that Renewal by Andersen was a good company. They came in earlier than we thought for our entry door. Then we had to wait for our special order on the storm door. I also ordered the slide lock for the storm door, which comes really quick because I want it keyed to the same as the entry door. They said they’ll come at the same time, but I'm still waiting for the slide lock. When they put my entry door in, there's a gap across the top of the door and a gap on both sides. I'm not too happy with that because spiders or any kind of insect could get in there and build a nest. I called somebody for that but I never got an answer. Despite that, I’m happy with the experience.

    I like the quality of the crank-out type windows that I got from Renewal by Andersen. I chose to work with them over other retailers as they were located here in Minnesota and they back their product. The representative was very good. He described everything in detail and he covered everything. The installers did a great job. They knew exactly what they were doing. Renewal by Andersen gave me a timeline of two days for the replacement and they completed it.

    Renewal by Andersen have been in business so long that I called them first. I've never heard anything bad about them. We got two sliding doors and a couple of windows needed on the side of that and over the top. Everything they said, they did. We had one little problem and that was whether it would fit or not at one time. But that was just a little glitch. It wasn't anything we had to worry about.

    The installation guys were fabulous. Each one of them was so friendly, so courteous and so lovely to talk to. They told us everything they were doing and what was gonna happen. And it was just something that I don't get very often. The new windows looked beautiful. Renewal by Andersen is a great company to do business with. I enjoyed them.

    I was very pleased with my experience with Renewal by Andersen. In my living room, there were four doors used as windows. They had been there for a while and they were clouding up. They were not effective anymore. So, I contacted the Renewal people after I got that flyer in the mail. They came over and they gave me an estimate. We talked about different things and we went forward from there.

    I got those windows replaced. They said it would take eight to 10 weeks. It was okay, but the only little downside was when I first talked to them in October, they set the install date for December 22nd, which was the Saturday before Christmas. That's usually the day I give a Christmas party, so I gave it the week before. And it was fine. The people who came to do the install were excellent. They came and were very organized. They took out the old windows, put in the new windows, cleaned everything up, and were gone by about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, which was very nice.

    I love the windows that I got. When I told several people, including a contractor who does work at my house, what I paid for the replacement windows, their jaws dropped. It was a substantial investment. It ended up costing me $13,000 to replace four windows and that's pretty heavy. But I'm pleased with the product and that's why I really didn't do much comparison shopping because I know it's a good name. I was also impressed with the professionalism of the people that I had contact with. Everything was handled very satisfactorily.

    Renewal by Andersen's sales rep went over our options and the prices trying to figure out what types of windows we wanted, what types of frames we wanted, and whether we wanna do full-frames or inserts. He was very informative about everything and he helped us make a decision. We may have had a couple of changes along the way, but he got all that done exactly how we wanted it. They installed the double-hung windows and they were done in two days.

    The installers came Monday before Thanksgiving. They talked about what they plan on doing that day and they said they thought they could get through most of the windows on the first day. After that, they started working, taking the windows out one by one. One guy took one out while the other one put another window in. They worked their way around the house and got almost all of them done in the first day except for the bay window. On the second day, they just concentrated on getting that done. I like the windows very much and they’re much better than the replacement windows we had before. Renewal's windows are worth more than some other windows and still a touch on the high side, but they seem worth it overall.

    I had six long windows put in by Renewal. I had a bit of a waiting period to get it started, but then, the installation took two days. Their reps were clean and they covered the rugs and everything very nicely. They were also very respectful and there was no swearing in the house. The quality of the windows is also very nice. I had four estimates from other companies and with Renewal it wasn’t just the money for me, it was the go back in case you had to. They won't be out of business in a year or two.
