    Got the new windows in about 1 and 1/2 year ago and was ok with them. A little disappointed with the nail holes not fully covered and visible dents. About 3 weeks ago I called to have them come take a look at the mold which was everywhere they used caulking. (Apparently used the bargain brand.) It took 3 calls to finally get someone out here and when he showed said that it would be covered under warranty. So then 2 weeks went by and heard from no one. Had to call two more time to get someone out here to fix the issue and he had to come twice as they did not allow enough time and he would need to come back.

    He did come back the same day and stayed until he was done but the places he replaced it was easy to tell where it was done as the color did not match very well and you could still see scuffs and dents where they had put the caulk before. I am so glad I did not do all my windows and for what they charge for the one I got I expected a better looking window for the outside looking in. Looking out they are great.

    I had looked at Newpro beforehand and they kept canceling their appointments so I just said, “Hey, if they can’t keep an appointment just for an estimate, never mind, I'm trying to put up a glass window." On the other hand, Renewal by Andersen was fantastic. I got a bow window installed and I love it. The representatives I've worked with were very good. The salesman came in and took the estimate and another guy came in and did all the measurements. Thereafter, two guys came in and did the window. They came in 7:30 in the morning and had it done by 3:00 in the afternoon. Since then, the window has been perfect. The quality and cost are about equal for me even though it was a little pricier that I thought it would be. I recommend Renewal by Andersen to anybody.

    I bought windows from Mr. Rogers Windows, which is Renewal by Andersen, the salesman told us they would cost 8,147.00 and when we paid a payment June 11th 2018 the cost was 17000.00, we was charged twice, but they are saying now that the 17000.00 is correct which is a lie. We only bought 10 windows and 3 of them was suppose to be free, we are now having the problem investigated. The salesman didn't leave any paperwork in the folder just a business card, mind you the windows wasn't that big. Just average window. We refuse to pay for windows that we was con into buying, Mr. Rogers cannot be trusted, they won't cooperate, so beware of doing business with this company.

    Third time using Renewal by Andersen. First two times very satisfied. They had a warranty issue 5 years later and notified us. They replaced warranty windows efficiently. That is why we contracted them again. March 5, 2018 - Front entry door, garage side entry door, upstairs windows, patio door ordered. Salesman was professional and explained details. May 2 and 3 - all items installed. Side garage storm door was wrong item. They were going to order the correct one. May 10 - discovered phone in family room not working. Checked and discovered no service connection detected. The line runs along the base of the patio door. Called Andersen service; they scheduled to have trim removed where wiring ran. The family room has its own phone line and was not noticed immediately.

    May 22 - trim removed, discovered wire wrapped with black tape; it was not taped prior to installation. They cut and tried to repair the wire without notifying us. They covered it up with the trim. May 23 - AT&T repaired line late in day. May 24 - called Renewal service to inform work completed; contact was on vacation so I left a message. May 30 - they finally called back. I sent a photo of the taped line; he checked his pre-installation photos and saw no black tape. He knew they cut and taped it without checking if it was working. At this time I told him they could schedule the patio door repair when the storm door was to be installed; Thinking it would only be a few weeks. June 4 - called to check storm door status. They were going to check and call back. June 7 - called again, left message.

    June 11 - By this time I have called numerous times, left messages, waited for return calls. THEY NEVER ANSWER THEIR PHONE OR RETURN CALLS IN A TIMELY MANNER. I called the main office in Minnesota. They tried to call service with no success. Service called me shortly afterwards. They checked and found no order. They finally, ordered the storm door. At this point I no longer wanted to wait another 6-8 weeks for the patio door trim repair. They were going to check their schedule and call me back.

    June 13 - Still no return call. Called again, left message. WHAT A SHOCK, NO ONE ANSWERED. June 18 - They called @ 5:14 PM and left message that installation manager was on vacation, but would send him an e-mail. I called back 5:20 PM, no answer, left message. Not once since the trim was removed May 23rd did anyone answer their phone or return a call in a timely manner. STILL WAITING. Let's see what tomorrow brings. My next call is to the city building department.

    We purchased double hung windows from Renewal by Andersen and had an awesome experience with them. Their representative was a nice guy. He explained the whole product and walked me through everything. They gave us three weeks to get the window replacement done but then there was a hold up with the guy that they had allotted for the job. He couldn’t do it, so Renewal worked with me to find somebody else who got it done earlier.

    Moreover, their installers were professionals. I met the two installers and the main guy. They introduced themselves, told us what was gonna happen, how they were going to block off where they needed to block off and uninstall the windows because it was the dead of winter. The two rooms that they had done downstairs would take about an hour to warm up, but it wasn’t gonna get negative below. Still, they got those done very very quickly. Then the installer showed me how the window worked. He said if I see a space, that’s because the window is not locked. Once it's locked, I'll see the space go away. He was very thorough. He also did the basement and the windows he replaced there were over 104 years old.

    Since the installation, the windows have kept the cold out. They weren't as cold as what we had replaced and even in the basement it's not as cold as it was. They also keep the cellar cool as well. While the people at Renewal were very professional, I would have liked a better deal on the windows. They were great but were a bit more than what I wanted to spend.

    Because of quality, I chose Renewal by Andersen over other window retailers. We have purchased a fixed picture window, a slider, and the rest were double-hung windows. I like the windows very well, especially with the soundproofing. They were a little more expensive than the other ones, but the quality is worth it. Renewal gave me a timeline how long the window replacement would take and they completed the installation in the time provided. The installation crew was extremely thorough, too and did an excellent job. And the representative who came here before the installation was very thorough. He had samples and a testing thing to show the effectiveness of the heating and cooling of the windows versus the other ones.

    I knew when I purchased my condo, that it needed natural light in the bathrooms. I contacted Renewal By Andersen, a salesman came looked at what I wanted, said, "No problem", and gave me a price. I gasped, but realized that these were going to be "Andersen Windows", and would take the winds that Palmer is noted for. I wanted a window over the shower. I wanted a window where the glass was 12" by 48". I got a window where the glass measures 6" by 42". Why wasn't I told that there would be 3 inches of frame on all sides? I am not getting the light I wanted. I have been contacting Renewal by Andersen for over a week now, and they still not addressed my concern. Why didn't I get the window that I wanted? Also, the window is crooked from the outside, and there is an extraordinary amount of caulking. I would like the window replaced with what I thought I had ordered. I would like a reply from someone who is able to make a decision.

    On March 8, 2018 We ordered almost $90K worth of doors and windows thru Renewal by Andersen - Tucson, Ron **. We were told it would be approx 3 months for delivery. It now being mid June I called to confirm delivery. I knew something was wrong when no one wanted to talk to me or return my calls. With a lot of perseverance I was finally able to confirm that the window portion of our order has never been ordered by their operations manager, Jeff - whose gamesmanship in avoiding customers is second to none.

    And, if that was not bad enough, after a lot more perseverance and investigating I also just discovered that the door portion of our order had only just been sent to the door division of Anderson: Provia, two weeks ago. Which they now indicate we will have to wait another 3 months for... It seems that Renewal By Andersen is all the things you would expect and want them to be when they are courting you for your business, but once you sign that contract you are lost and alone in the abyss that is Andersen Windows/Renewal By Andersen. But they are not negligent on everything, they did process our financial obligations to them within 24 hours of receiving our signed contract. #StillWaitingForMyAndersenWindow&DoorsInArizona. #AndersenWindowsDupe #RenewalbyAndersen

    Updated review: July 12, 2018

    Although the major issue of the windows originally being too small will never be resolved without going through the pain of hiring an attorney and having my house all torn up again and refinishing all of the windows inside again, it appears that the leaking and rust has been fixed. The people that RBA sent to perform the warranty work were super professional, super kind and treated me with respect. Couldn't ask for anything better as far as the personnel were concerned.

    I will not say that RBA should be your "first" choice when choosing replacement windows for your home. But RBA should be "one" of the choices for sure. Their warranty is top notch and the quality of the windows themselves seems to be very high. To be fair to RBA, my home is very old and the way that the original windows were designed it would have been extremely difficult to get accurate measurements from the outside (which is what the rep did). Proper measurement should have been taken from the inside with the trim removed. This would have revealed the original rough opening and windows could have been ordered that were the proper size and fit.

    I've learned more about windows in the last couple years than I ever wanted to know. I thought I really did thorough research before replacing mine (and replacement was a necessity... wasn't a "nice to have") but I still am learning more all of the time.

    I highly recommend that if you are in the market for replacement windows you get every company available to give you an estimate. Do the research on every company and every window. Do your homework. Don't look at price first... good replacement windows are going to be EXPENSIVE. Period. Once they are in... you are stuck with them. Unless you have the money to have them ripped out and replaced again.

    Andersen definitely has a great history being in business for over a century. But RBA is only a subsidiary. They don't have the exact same track record. Keep in mind that when you choose a window with Andersen in the name you will be paying partly for the name. No doubt. But... so far... they have backed their product by doing warranty work for me without ANY hassle. Though, in my opinion, the very best warranties are the ones you *never* need to use. But it's still nice to know that if you need warranty work it will be done. No questions asked. No piles of paperwork etc. Which was the case for me.

    Original Review: June 14, 2018

    It was a huge hassle from start to finish to get windows from RBA. It started off well with a salesperson showing up at the appointed time and they certainly didn't waste any time taking my order or my check. And then... it started. No communication about when my windows would show up. No communication about when they would be installed until I called and begged to have an install appointment. Snippy comments from the owner and the sales team if I mentioned the fact that these windows are expensive and so I want to know exactly what's going on and when.

    The install took place over 3 days. The windows were all way too small. I'm talking 3 and 4 inches of gaps around the rough opening. It's a good thing the installer (who WAS NOT certified by Renewal By Andersen as they promise on their website) had a case of foam insulation because that is what they used to pretty much install my windows. Unsatisfactory. Unbelievable. The installers damaged my breakable siding (which cannot be replaced) around almost every window and even cut clear down into the house on several of the windows leaving nasty holes I had to fill. I had to use caulking to kind of try and make my siding look presentable again. I could go on and on and on about the things wrong.

    I LOVE the windows. They look amazing. They seem well made for the most part and very low maintenance. Until this spring... One year and 1 month since the install. We had some driving rains (rain blowing sideways) that made it "rain" inside my house. Water running down from the top of almost every window installed. I am just sick about it. I spent as much as a new car costs for these windows, went through a lot of hassle and was willing to say it was all worth it if the windows would be great and hold up for the rest of the time I would reside in my home.

    Now I am going through the hassle of getting someone to come and repair or do something about this. It looks to me that the windows have bows in them at the top where they are already sagging because they are all too small. There is also gaps in the weather stripping where it has slid down. I am not sure what to do. But I couldn't recommend RBA with a clear conscience to anyone. Never again.

    We found on the web when we went looking for a replacement that Renewal by Andersen existed as an entity for installing things. Many of our friends have Andersen replacement doors and windows that had been installed in their houses over the last thirty years, and they’re high-quality stuff. And then, we moved out of the house in Massachusetts in 2008 that had replacement windows in it. So we were aware of the quality of the products from Andersen and we chose them as we were interested in their door.

    The experience of buying the door was straight. There was a schedule for installation and the installer showed up on the appointment. We have two sliding glass doors out to the deck. The second one was an Andersen door that was installed in 1996, replacing a window and enlarging the opening from the dining room to the deck, and we matched the color of that. We have a foundation that people control architectural standards.

    The guy who came looked at the Andersen door from ’96 and knew immediately what color of trim had to be ordered. He took out the old door, put it in his truck, and he brought the new one in. He had to build a frame and then installed the door and the frame. And this required some adjustment of the opening because the Andersen door was not quite as wide as the old door. It required bringing in some pressured treated lumber to build the replacement trim on the outside the door so that the trim outside the door matched the trim on the other door.

    The installer took care of that very nicely. He told me that he was moving to Texas, shortly after installing the sliding glass door from our kitchen out to the deck. He is a major loss to Renewal by Andersen. He was terrific and a first-rate craftsman. It only took him two hours to do the installation which was good because it was cold outside. He was very quick and did a very clean and neat job, so we were quite happy. I already recommended Renewal by Andersen to a friend. And we will be ordering from Andersen a new front door, as soon as we get clearance from the foundation.

    We’ve heard good things about Renewal by Andersen from friends and their representative was also thorough and knowledgeable. We got double-hung windows and they said that the installation would take three days, and it did. When the installers got here, they got to work and then kept on working even though it was the coldest part of the last winter. They took the old windows out and put new ones in, and when they were done for the day, they cleaned everything up. The windows are very good and we love our them.

    I set up the appointment and the salesperson was on time, extremely friendly, knowledgeable and professional. After almost two hours - the price for 13 basic windows - and I mean I wanted wood and settled for composite all one color - no frills at all was $32,000.00 ---- I literally almost fell over. Seriously this is a house in the Poconos. That was a third of what I paid for the whole house. Can Anderson even be serious with a price like that? It wasn't even a little reasonable. Needless to say I will just stick with my old windows. I can't even believe that they could quote a price like that and say it is no-frills. I wouldn't waste my time asking Anderson for a quote. Imagine if I had asked for some special custom additions?

    Renewal by Andersen has good windows and they are definitely a reputable company so I went with them. They were heavily discounted too. We got the double-hung windows. They're great windows, they look nice and they work well, and I'm pleased with them. Renewal by Andersen felt it would take about three or four days to complete the window installation and it was just what they said. The installation team was efficient and knew what they were doing when they put the windows in and they seemed experienced. However, I was very disappointed that I spent so much money but the windows didn't qualify as ENERGY STAR windows. They should stress that they're not ENERGY STAR and maybe they should make another window that is ENERGY STAR available. Other than that, the windows are perfect.

    We reached out to Renewal by Andersen and we had some email correspondence with the salesperson. When he came out, he did a demo in the house, and priced out the whole project. Somebody else came out to do the measuring. After that, an install team did the job for three days. Our house was built 150 years ago and we were adamant that what would go in would look like the original and that none of the original molding or anything was ruined or anything like that. And the guys were great about that. Everything looks like it’s been there for a long time. Another person then came out after the fact to check the work. The windows are fantastic and I love them. It's like an all-composite material as opposed to plastic or wood and it is the only one out there like that. They're pricey but they're worth it.

    We knew of Renewal by Andersen’s reputation and they ran big ads in the Newburyport paper. So, we called them to see what it was all about. A man came out and his name was John. He was very nice and very knowledgeable. He gave us an estimate and we bought the windows and doors from him that night. We had Renewal put 14 windows which were up and down ones. We also had a door in the bathroom leading out to the backyard and they put two new doors there. We also did the two new front doors.

    Renewal by Andersen gave a timeline on how long the glass replacement would take and they completed the installation within that timeline. The whole experience of the installation was very good and nice. They had a large crew that worked hard. They worked nicely and also cleaned up after themselves. They were in and out here in one day for the 14 windows and they came back another time to do the doors because we hadn’t ordered them. The guys knew what they were doing and everything was just as tight as they said it would be. The products we received were well worth what we spent. The product is wonderful and I would like to brag a bit about a job well done.

    I’ve had a very bad experience with Renewal by Andersen. We replaced all of the windows for $33,000 and I've had all of this trouble. I’m not a happy camper. First of all, the man came out in the middle of October but they didn't put the windows in until December 29th. I had no idea that they would wait that long and do it in the middle of winter.

    Secondly, when the man was here, I had chosen one color of caulking for the outside and then changed my mind. It wasn't but a week later that I called him and changed the color. But the installation team did not know and they had the wrong color. By the time they discovered that, they had to get it and instead of being able to do the work in daylight, they did it at 7:30 at night. The caulking was not supposed to be applied below 10 degrees but the temperature had fallen and was either very close to 10 or below 10 by then. They were doing it in the dark too. They had headlights on but I was not pleased with the looks of the caulking on the outside of the house.

    When spring came, I was gonna open the windows and upon taking a closer look, I found that, out of all of the screens in the house, only one of them fits securely enough. A man came out, agreed, took pictures and measured. They all had to be replaced and it again took months. I kept on waiting and finally, I called and they told me almost two months later that the warranty department said that it wasn't necessary. I could almost see outside the way the screens fit and I know bugs can get in. I told them they can't tell me that it wasn't necessary. I would not have gone through that if I didn’t think it was.

    I had to have Frank come back out and he could not give me any explanation why. He did the same thing again – measured and took pictures. It was finally fixed but there is still one screen that don’t fit properly. We're into June now and all of these issues have yet to be resolved. Also, although they fit tight enough now, they are scratching the woodwork when getting them in and out. Aside from that, there were also problems with the hardware that cranks the windows out. They are a little hard to crank out and I thought maybe they'll loosen up with age but adjustments did have to be made on some of the hardware. Additionally, it was very humid a few days ago and it was weird that the windows in our bedroom were steamed on the outside when none of the other windows in the house had any condensation on the outside. I'm very worried about these windows.

    The reputation of Renewal by Andersen is the best and their windows are the best. I never even thought of asking to see the windows that I would be getting. But I don’t think these windows were designed well. There was wood on my other screens, a little bit of trim, and the screens fit inside that. These don't and they have to fit tight. Their screen design is not good. But other than that, the windows themselves seem to be good and are very nice. The company doesn't seem to be well run though, and I would never recommend Renewal by Andersen to anybody. I have serious concerns about them doing what they say they're gonna do. The people in the office there don't seem to be efficient in communicating. But the men that put the windows in did a very nice and efficient job. They put up this heavy plastic drapery and it wasn't their fault that they had the wrong caulking but I think they should have postponed.

    Renewal by Andersen is a recognizable name so I got my four windows from them. They met the timeline they gave for the window replacement. And the rep was down to business and was very informative. I was impressed with the rep's knowledge of the product. Plus there was no pressure for buying. The installation went very well and very clean. The windows are excellent so far and it’s a big difference from the other windows I have. And for the money I spent, they should be good quality.

    Renewal by Andersen seemed to be a fairly quality company and we liked the approach of having everything done by the same company. But there was a little bit of pressure with their salesperson and we were a little disappointed in the pricing of the second set. We actually paid more for the second set of windows than we did the first. We were thinking that since we were repeat customers, perhaps we would get a slightly better deal.

    We’ve already done two phases of the installation and both appeared to go really well. The only concern that we had with the second one was that we did it in the winter and we didn’t think that Renewal by Andersen was gonna show up on that day because it was bitterly cold. But they did. They took care to not allow a lot of cold air into the house. The only downside of it was on one set of the windows on one of the bedrooms, when springtime came and I went to put screens in, the windows were too tight for the screens. They were all the same-sized window except for that one window. So we eventually had to have Renewal by Andersen come back and replace the screens for those two windows.

    One of the things with Renewal that I like is the wood finish. But by the time we did the pricing, we found out that it was another $200 per window to have the wood finish inside and it wasn’t actually wood. It was just a wood finish. At $200 a window just for the interior finish is a lot of money. Also, there was a choice of what kind of screening we wanted, either do a screen over the whole window so that we could lower the top or the bottom or just do the half. We did the half. We compromised our preferences in order to keep the price somewhere near where we felt we wanted to pay. But we like the windows. The first set has been on for about two years now and they’re holding up well. They’re really expensive but they’re very good windows.

    Purchased 10 windows to replace single hung older ones which were leaking some air and difficult to raise and lower. Having some buyer's remorse concerning the price we paid and with quality of the windows. The installation went well. However, subsequent to installation we noted difficulty in operating tilt release latches to release easily and difficulty in raising and lowering some of the windows. A serviceman has been here twice and is doing his best to resolve our problems. On one of the windows the tilt latch did not work at all. On others difficult. He made some adjustments got the difficult one to work but still not as easily as it should. The plastic clips that slide down to release the latches are more complicated than simple releases on my older windows. Our home has twenty more windows which will have to be replaced at some point.

    We will probably look at other options to Renewal by Andersen. Renewal by Andersen window very high priced; the windows not easy to raise and lower and the tilt release mechanisms too complicated. The serviceman (Kerry) very nice and absolutely wants to satisfy us but seems only so much he can do. Looking back on the sales pitch probably too much subtle pressure, i.e., buy today get this discount. We have reacted too quickly and should have checked other options before committing. In conclusion, the product does live up to the publicity and the very high price.

    We liked Renewal by Andersen's product so we had them replace our three windows. They gave us an estimate of how long it would take them to make the windows and that it would be a one-day process to install. I had a very positive interaction with the rep I worked with. He was insightful and friendly. He also seemed to be honest and knowledgeable. During installation, their installers came in and they were clean and quick. They laid out some stuff to keep the site clean and they went to town to take out the old ones and put in the new ones. The replacement windows are good so far. Renewal by Anderson did terrific. They were very professional and their product seems to be of high quality. They’re a little bit expensive, but it’s worth it if you can afford it.

    I bought a whole house of windows from Renewal by Andersen because of their reputation. There are nine in total and the installation went great. The installers were here on time on one of the coldest days this winter and they were smiling and never complained about the cold once. So I was pretty impressed with those two. They were also right within the timeline they gave me for the window replacement. We've had some problems but I've been working with Jim and everybody has been great.

    We got double-hung new construction windows from Renewal by Andersen. We had a number of companies come in but we felt that Andersen’s product was superior. Also, our house originally had Andersen windows and they are very close to us in Northborough. We worked with Michael and he was a very professional guy. He seemed very experienced. He answered all our questions and brought over window samples before we made a decision. He did a great job for us. Andersen sent over a job manager and several installers and they put in 11 new construction windows for us and took away the old, broken panes. It was a one-day job. They gave me a timeline and they hit it right on the nose. They also brought vacuums and the house was spotless when they left. They did a phenomenal job.

    We love the windows and we could tell the difference. The first storm, we were getting no wind whistles and the house was a lot warmer. So we're 100% very happy with them and we let Mike know that. Also, the cost was spot-on. Andersen is a premium company, so we probably paid a bit more but we felt that the value was there and it proved to be after the job. The product is very high quality as was the installation and support. So we were very satisfied and we would recommend them to anybody.

    I went with Renewal by Andersen as I trusted them and I thought I was going with an awesome company that was gonna give me the service that I needed. But now, I'm starting to regret it and I have $15,000 bill that I've created with them. I got a double-hung window from them. The salesperson was formal and he followed up. The installers were very professional and courteous and they were very proficient with getting the job done in one day. It was January 17 and it was freezing cold. They taped up whatever windows they took out so that the air could not come in.

    My house was very quiet after the installation and I could definitely tell that the new windows had been installed. I couldn't hear the outside because of the double pane. The window worked exactly how the gentleman said that it would work. In reference to the weather, the coldness on the outside and the warmth being on the inside and not allowing the heat to come in, the window performed the way it was supposed to perform.

    There's some sort of a gap though because water was coming in. We had bad weather here in Maryland and water was coming down the wall and it's coming into my bottom window which totally messed up my honeycomb blinds. It started happening about three weeks ago and it only happens when it's a hard rain, so it's the overflow of water. This could possibly be just the seal. It’s a point of getting someone out to look at it and going through the way that it’s supposed to do versus me getting on a ladder and going up there and fixing it myself. I shouldn't have to if I spent this amount of money for windows.

    And I have not had a return call yet from them. I was given a beautiful folder of what my warranties were and every connection whether it be email, website, a phone number but everything has been useless. Even with me filling out a service repair request online yesterday, I still got no response. I love my windows but right now, I'm frustrated.

    We have a brand-new house and we have all new windows. However, the sliding door that we had, which we thought was an Andersen, was very inefficient. We got a hold of Andersen and told them to come out, take a look at what we have and see if we can get a door that’s efficient. And we did. It was a custom door so we had to order it. It was measured and delivered within the dates that we expected it to be. Their rep happened to be somebody in our neighborhood. He was very friendly, very kind and professional. We had a nice conversation and everything went well.

    The installation took a little longer than we expected. They had to take off the door trim and the door frame itself had to come off, and they had to put it back on. Luckily, that went well. However, there were some dirt and dust and it was winter. There was supposed to be some drape to go over the door while the process was being done as a protection against the cold and that did not happen. Nevertheless, the installer apologized.

    The door is great. In the cold, you can’t feel anything coming off the door. It was well-made although the cost was higher than I expected. In fact, there was a humongous difference between what we originally wanted and what we actually got. The actual product fits better to the outside of the house because it’s a bronze finish. And then, around the window frames that we had originally that came with the local package, are the same colors. That works really well. The one that my husband first selected, which was the more expensive of the two, had a green outside, which was the color of our actual trim to the house. And then, it was already pre-stained on the inside to go with the pine color that we already have.

    We asked what else do they have and they came up with this other door with bronze finish on the outside and bronze hardware on the inside. But the inside is not finished. If you wanted to make an improvement, it would be proper to finish the inside of the door which is just raw wood. So now that we’re into the warmer weather, I have to get busy and stand inside and varnish it. That’s a bit of a pain in the neck and I already spent $4,000 for that. But it’s not too big of a deal. The overall quality is really good. But to me, that’s a lot of money for a door. Nonetheless, we like our door and we’re happy with our experience with Renewal by Andersen.

    I purchased two sliding doors and one fixed window from Renewal by Andersen. The rep came and measured, told me exactly what they do, and showed me the project. And once I decided to go with them, the guy came and did a re-measurement. It was a cold day when they showed up for the installation, but they said that they would do it as long as I was fine with it. They took great care to put down drop cloths so they wouldn’t track snow and stuff in and they were done before they thought they would be. Everything was clean and the old windows were gone and they went on their way. It was pretty simple. And they seemed to know what they were talking about. I’d suggest other people to go with Renewal by Andersen. They’re really thorough, did a good job and their customer service was good. This was six months ago and the windows fit.

    The guy from Renewal by Andersen who came over to the house was good. He gave us the spiel on what we were looking for and we gave him our spiel too. He came to a conclusion and then sent us a quote. We compared it to the quotes from other companies that we were dealing with and theirs was the best one we got. And since Andersen windows are good, we went with them and purchased three windows and a French door.

    The installation was done on the coldest day of the year. The guys came over, did a really good job and were out in about seven hours. The house was clean when they left. There was snow on the ground, but when the snow melted, there was no junk underneath the snow. So far, I like the products. The only thing I didn’t like was there was a plate on the French window that was the same color as the handle. It was in the middle of the door and my wife thought that it should be white. I called somebody and asked them about it. They sent us out a new plate and now it's white. I'd recommend Renewal by Andersen.

    The windows in the house were already Renewal by Andersen windows and we have a lot of confidence in Andersen’s products. We got four new double-hung windows put in which were just updated versions of what were already there. Everything went fantastic from the time the rep came in and we purchased the windows and he told us what to expect until they were installed. The rep who came was very good, very professional, very helpful and knew what he was doing. Everything went smooth as clockwork, especially considering that they replaced the windows in January. We were a little bit concerned about that. But everything went exactly as we expected it to or maybe even better than we anticipated. The old windows, especially since they were bathroom windows, were looking a little dated and aged because of the moisture so the new windows were definitely an improvement. They’re a little bit more expensive but they’re well worth it.

But this month I could get it for 1,500 per window. I have never shopped for windows before, but that is about double what I expected. Am I wrong to question the price?

We interviewed the individual some more then we told them to go ahead. We purchased a front door with two side windows, which was an all-in-one inclusive, and the quality is very good. The installation was done in the middle of winter and the individual was very good.

    I had done a renovation about two and a half years ago and I used Andersen sliding doors for the back of the house. When I wanted to have my windows replaced, I wanted them to be of similar quality to what I have gotten for the new sliding door so I chose Renewal by Andersen. I got seven windows and they were on time, if not just a tad early, finishing the replacement. It was all very good. Even though I’m not in a historic district, my concern was to have my windows look as if they were original and it has more than exceeded my expectations. The windows that were replaced were installed long ago, a couple of them as early as 1925, so they had been tainted shut and were not operable. The replacement windows are all brand-new, crisp and much quieter. They’re more energy-efficient and they’re operable too.

    They also have operable screens so I can have cross ventilation in the house now. This is an older townhouse and in the past, I had not had cross ventilation because I was not able to open the old windows so that was very good. But almost more importantly is that any problems I previously had because of water coming in because of storms is gone. And their call was very timely because last night we had another horrific storm with incredible water hitting the house and there was no water coming in from outside of the windows.

    The nature of the installation was very good. I was very happy that it didn’t look like there are these new windows in old openings. You won’t distinguish they’re new versus old. They looked very crisp, so the house looks that much better. But they also looked like they are part of the original house. They just look like they’re in good quality and in good repair. And not only that, this house was my grandmother’s house so when she passed, I was able to acquire it from the estate. So I have a sense of pride in trying to keep the house up and keep it in its character.

    It’s also clear that the level of pride that the salesperson and the installer felt had much more to do with their being part of the company, not just employees of the company. The installer had said that he had been in another company. He came to Andersen with a slight income cut but his income has continued to rise so he’s doing better in Andersen than he was doing before. I would tell a friend to absolutely use Renewal by Andersen.

    We wanted a sliding double door for the back patio. The salesman was nice. He lives where I used to live in the same town so we connected immediately. He was very knowledgeable and he informed us of the actions that we had and any obstacles or issues that we would encounter, he got different options. It was nice to know that he knew what he was talking about. On the other hand, the installer was amazing. He was very nice, very courteous and very clean. They almost quarantined the whole area so that they won’t get any debris in any of my personal property, which I thought was amazing. Because the installation was done in the wintertime, they did as much as they could not to expose my house to unnecessarily cold air, which was good too. And they finished the installation in a timely manner and finished everything before they left.

    The quality was amazing. We had a previous door here. While it seemed solid to us, the seals, we didn’t feel were effective because we could feel draft. But with this new door, we felt the heavy-duty quality of the door. We feel secure and we have no drafts. Also, the cost was fair. Sometimes, people think that if you buy something at a retail store, you’re gonna get a better deal. But we’ve learned from past experiences that everything that they sell in the store, while some of it is good, is not the best. I had the bad luck that when I tried to buy price-wise, I don’t get the quality that I need. That’s why we went with Andersen because we knew the price was gonna be different, but the quality was gonna be better. Overall, we are completely satisfied with them. In fact, we do tell people that we got a brand-new door and that Andersen did it.

    My husband and I are updating our small Southern California cottage, literally 4 windows. The living room picture window is large, so we expected a higher cost. The temps in San Diego County get hot in the summer and we want to be more energy efficient. I work in the Construction industry for over two decades and I am familiar with getting 3 quotes and choosing the best product, installation and price. Lowest price doesn't always mean best.

    We were told to allow at least 90 minutes for the quote, which we thought was a long time to look at our windows, listen to what we are looking for, etc., but we allowed the time out of respect for the salesperson. He arrived with all these window samples and frame samples (along with what competitors use). He measured the windows, got his iPad out, we went outside and he looks at our living room window and asks, "Does this side of the building get wet when it rains?" Well of course the outside of the building will get wet when it rains. He then goes onto to say how they need to add and extra reinforcement for their frame.

    I told him we are looking at Low E windows, want a retrofit to match existing neighbors and because I live in an HOA. Well our salesman didn't listen to what we wanted, the consumer, and priced up 4 windows with Smart Glass to the tune of $12,000!!! He also didn't have nice things to say about any competitors, which I didn't care to listen about and only compared Andersen windows to Vinyl windows, which is not what we were ever going to look at. Then came the almost Timeshare sales pitch of, "You have to but today and sign to get this price"... he shows my husband and I what the price would be, less a Nationwide discount (of what we are not sure) and an additional $995 discount by signing that day or lose the discount.

    My husband and I both said that for $9K purchase, we need time to review the quote and decide what's best for us. Again trying to pressure us into the sale that day, I asked him to email the quote so we could review and would get back to him. It was insulting to get the "quote" as just a snapshot of the page from his iPad with no cost breakdown for materials, labor etc. Also, one of the whole reasons Renewal by Andersen was one of our choices for a quote was they offered a buy one window get one for 40% off. Well, by the "quote" we received, we couldn't make an intelligent review of unknown costs compared to other window installers. After finding this website, I am certainly glad I reviewed them here before the purchase.

There wasn't high pressure from him and we like his enthusiasm for the product. The installers were two young guys and they were very personable. We had a couple of issues with the installation and they told us some options to fix those. They scheduled somebody to come back out and make a few adjustments, so everything was fine.

We replaced three double-hung windows with new bay windows and then two other double-hung windows. Andersen gave us a timeline for the replacement. They were able to complete this within the time they gave. It was a little pricey but I’m very satisfied with the product. We like the screens and they care about customer satisfaction.

    We had Andersen come out and I liked the quality of the window that they presented to me. I also like the reviews. I purchased a composite window with the wood grain interior from them. I had double hung for most of them and I have a casement, and I’ve gotten some half-moon ones that’s over the double hung, and a patio door. I bought a lot from them and I’ve had two different series done now. They had the date set up when I purchased the windows and they completed the installation within the timeframe they gave. The rep also thoroughly explained the window.

    I went to the location that I was working with because there are several Renewal by Andersen locations around. I talked with the manager and he showed me around the shop and what they were doing now. It had been two years since I purchased some of the first set and it was all good. They installed the windows very efficiently and cleaned up after themselves. I inspected all of the windows and if I saw something, they fixed it. I had one little thing and they took care of it.

    I have a rental home, another house that I had windows put in and this house, so I’ve had several different makers of windows. The windows from Andersen are expensive and I’ve only had them for a few years, but so far I’ve been very impressed with them and I’m hoping that the cost will be well worth it. I have noticed a huge difference in the warmth of my house since I put these in so, other than the cost of the windows, I’ve seen my heating bill decrease as well. The windows I had before in my house were very drafty and they weren’t as good quality, so I’ve noticed a huge difference there as well. I was happy with what Andersen did and I’m happy with the windows.

    Renewal by Andersen has the best windows on the market so I bought all my windows from them. I purchased both sliders and double hung windows and the quality was great. It was snowy and cold outside, so it took them a couple of days to finish installing. They could only do half one day and half the next day. I’d recommend them to anyone that needs new windows.

    We got a massive window done a couple of years earlier by Renewal by Andersen. We looked at a bunch of places before we got the window done and we knew we wanted a high-quality window with the gaps and everything that would be economic for saving both heating and cooling. We looked at a bunch of different windows and Renewal by Andersen was the best quality for the best price. Once we did that, we’re like, “Well, we gotta keep going.” We like wood as opposed to pure aluminum clad. Their windows are wood. We like the panes, so the wood dividers are pane-ing the windows. They're easy cleaning, they're easy fix-up, and the exterior is already matched to the color of our house. It's a two-storey wall of windows. It’s on the same side of the house and it’s a big and detailed job. They killed the job with lots of people and did it all in one stretch of time, and got the whole thing done from morning to afternoon all complete.

    As for the second job, they were done in a day. However, it took a while to get it scheduled because they’re popular. We had to wait and we were hoping to get it done before Thanksgiving because we ordered before Thanksgiving in 2017 and didn’t happen until 2018. We had to turn them away once also because the day that we scheduled was minus 20. I said, “I don’t think we’re opening up the entire wall since it’s a sliding glass door. It’s minus 20 and we’ll never recover until July. We'll be frozen solid." We had to reschedule and that was our fault, not theirs. And then, they came and did it and it was fine. It’s a good door and they even repaired some damage that the older door had left because there was some water leakage underneath the floor. They had to dig down in there a little bit and put new wood in there and they took care of all that.

    We built our house and it was whatever the builder put in 27 years ago. I’m getting condensation in between the windows so we decided to do it. Renewal by Andersen is well-known so we went with them. Their rep was great and the installation process was great too. Within one day, Andersen had everything in. It was late getting it done, but their crew got it done. There was only one thing that I do have a little bit of concern. In my bay window, there was a piece of a siding that cracked and they put some kind of putty stuff over the top of it. So, I'd just hope that it would stay looking right. Overall, I love the windows and my experience was great.

    I own a really old house. It's almost a hundred years old and I was pretty concerned about the quality of what I would put into that. Renewal by Andersen came highly recommended by people in the neighborhood and people with similar homes. Their rep was really nice. He explained everything really well, was really approachable and wasn’t pushy about selling anything or talking to me about anything that I don't need. We got a double hung window from them and they gave a timeframe for how long the replacement would take. It was from the time that we met with them and it was spot on to what they predicted so I was really happy with it. They replaced them in the middle of January, which I was obsessed by. It was freezing so they were troopers because when we had initially met and they said that would be when they were installed, I didn’t even notice that. It was an option and they were good.

    I love the windows. They're a huge improvement over what was there and they look great. They are expensive and they are not the cheapest option, which I knew going in. But I can already tell the difference with the heating of my house especially during winter and that's the important trade-off. They are expensive but it's worth it. One of the windows was delivered with a broken screen but they noticed it before I even did when they were installing it. They got me a new one and they've already put it in so that hasn’t been an issue at all. They handled it really well and I was very happy. I would recommend Andersen.

    Renewal by Andersen seemed to know how to handle our specific space better. We chose them because of that and because of their product. We had four casement windows purchased all together and a picture window, two of the double hung for the picture window, which was a window box, and then two double hung.

    We started the whole process back in November and the products were installed in January. The presentation took a very long time and it was good that I didn’t feel I was pressured. But I didn't see a full picture of what the windows were gonna look like. It was okay, but I didn’t realize there was gonna be wood in-between my windows and the side of my window box. So, I'm not horribly displeased but it would be nice if someone laid everything out on the computer for me once I chose what I wanted and they could show me the virtual reality of what it’s gonna look like. I didn’t know after it was installed how it was gonna look. I'm not happy with that part because it was a surprise.

    The installation was okay. I like that the installers did it all in one day but I didn’t like that there were so many workers. And there was one worker who was unprofessional. He kept coming in my house and I didn’t like that. He kept using his phone, and a couple of times I felt like he was watching inappropriate stuff at my house. I finally locked the door to make sure he didn’t come in anymore. He asked if he could charge his phone, which was fine. And then, he started taking personal phone calls like in my house with his girlfriend. He was also asking me for water. He wanted his girlfriend to bring him a case of water. It was a bit awkward for me.

    The other thing is that they finished some of the rooms and they didn’t tell me I shouldn’t touch anything yet. I have little kids and they were home, and one of my kids screwed up the caulking. The installers fixed it mostly but there is still a blemish. They didn’t fix it all the way. They told me it was done. Other than that, we're in good shape and I hope that our overpaying is worth it.

    The windows that were done about 35 years ago needed replacement. Because we've already had Andersen in the house and have had really good luck with them, we went with them again and got slider windows. It was a separate salesperson that came out. We talked about the benefits of the windows, about what we wanted and what we needed, and worked out a window and a price that was within our budget. Then they sent back somebody to measure them and check the place, and then the installers came out. It was all done in a day. The only thing I didn’t like, and it's probably not a big thing, was the fact that they did it on a day when it was about 19 degrees out. They kind of curtained off our side of the house here. But my concern wasn’t so much with the temperature in the house. It was how any caulking would hold up at that temperature.

    The windows are quite nice and very durable. I like the new e glass, the screens, and the way they operate. I could have bought windows that were maybe a little inferior for substantially less, but I like the transferrable warranty and I like the fact that they're Andersen. I shouldn't have to worry about them. We're quite satisfied and Andersen did a fine job of cleaning up. I've recommended them too.

    When I spoke to their salesman he sold me on the fact that I would like the quality of their work and product, but that was not the case. It took four weeks from talking to the salesman & in putting an downpayment on the project for the custom windows to be install. First problem was that the Kitchen window was manufactured wrong - they got the height and width mixes up. Since the installers already remove the old windows they had to put the new window in on its side. Next the two rear bedroom windows they put the exterior trimming missize. One window had a long trim. The other had a short trim under the windows. This look bad along with the rear Kitchen window. It looks very bad.

    Next the Living room window exterior trim. First the exterior trim I already had look very much better looking than the cheap plain one they installed. Next the quality of the installation was very poor. There is a large amount of sealing or glue on one side of the exterior trim and a small amount on the other side. When I point it out to the different installer who put up the replacement Kitchen window he even admit that it was a messy job done by the first installers.

    It took the first installers a long time to install the windows. It took them 11 hours to do the job. It took another 19 days for Renewal by Andersen to custom built another Kitchen window. The second team did a better job than the first team but to manufacture incorrect Kitchen windows even after they took the measurement twice is bad. Renewal by Andersen windows are very over price (it cost me nearly $1,800 per window) and they are not worth it at all. If I knew then what I know now I would not had purchase windows from Renewal by Andersen.

    I got doors and a double hung and a couple of swing in and out windows from Renewal by Andersen. I looked at all the products and I got floor prices for windows. They're one of the cheapest by far, but the quality of the material is good. The installers were really good but the timeline got all messed up. We ordered the windows back in November with a possible before-Christmas install. However, one of the doors was an oddball size so we delayed the install until January. Then in January, they came out and installed some of the windows. In February, they came back and did the doors but they didn’t complete the job until March 8. We're also still working through the process of refinancing and it's a pain in the neck. It expired because of the timelapse.

    We had done window replacements in my daughter’s home nearby, and that company went out of business. So we had been through the spiel with a number of places. And because our home is in a certain price point, we decided to go with what we felt was a better quality finished product. We went with Renewal by Andersen and their sales rep came to the house and talked about the product and pricing. They're pricier than any other vinyl window out there, but we feel the product was worth the price. My sister-in-law got her windows for a fourth of the price of what we paid, but they're the typical vinyl replacement windows.

    We signed the contract and the rep stayed with us through the installation process and stopped by on the final day of installation so, that was excellent. The work team that was at the house explained what they were going to do. They also protected all of our personal belongings and flooring. We had built our home 15 years ago, had crank-out windows and a good portion of the sills were rotted after 15 years so, we switched to double-hung which we liked. We have two stories of windows so, 33 windows were replaced. They were able to complete the replacement of the windows within the timeframe they gave us. There was one window that wasn't a correct fit and they told us that it wasn't constructed properly. They informed us what the timeframe would be for them to get the proper one back and then they took care of it.

    I had Renewal by Andersen windows originally and they all slid, so I decided two of them were turnouts. We got doors from them also. The timeline was a day or two and they were able to complete the installation in the timeline provided. The rep from Renewal by Andersen was super good. He showed us all the different options and went from beginning to end. He said that they were really nice windows and that the guys would come in and take care of everything. The whole experience was completely professional and very well-done. They ripped the windows out and put the new ones in. The windows are awesome. The moldings were a little beat up, so when the guys were done, the ledges had some markings on them and things like that.

    During two of the coldest days of the year, I had two fireplaces going and I had the heat set at 60, and it was barely 40 in the house. We asked them not to come, although we were already scheduled. On the second day, they were calling for a bunch of snow and I told them not to come and that the house was locked up. They were quite upset and they weren't very happy about that. Everybody's got a schedule and time to work in, but I didn't have to have it done until spring, and that was their schedule to come in. I wasn't so happy about that. Other than that, everything was fine.

    The quality's very good, but the cost was also very heavy. We got the biggest discount as I could receive, and it was around $20,000-some discount. The cost was astronomical and there's no question about it. I paid $260 for the house, and the cost without the discount was $60,000.

In some situations, you are relying on them to tell you whether you are showing them different windows, which ones need to be replaced and which do not. But in my situation, they were all so old that I already knew they needed to be replaced. They told me it would be done in one day, and it was. The quality of their service was very good. They explained everything to me and they answered all of my questions. I felt very comfortable with the situation. It is a condo that I have, so it had to go through the homeowner's association for approval. And Renewal by Andersen actually handled all of that, which is one of the things they promised me upfront. They took care of all the details and got it approved so, I was very happy. They fulfilled everything they said they were gonna do.

    The windows are great but they were expensive. I could have gotten cheaper windows with another company, but I felt that it is an investment in the house so I went ahead with Andersen. They told me how much it was and they were upfront and they did not try to hide the fact that I could have gotten it cheaper but they did a very good job. The windows are clearly an improvement over what I have had and just by looking at the product, you could tell the difference.

When I purchased double-hung windows and a sliding deck door from Renewal by Andersen, their sales rep was very nice and thorough. He was straightforward and was willing to explain things. He also gave us advice on what kind of improvement there would be with any particular window. He didn’t tell us we had to do every window in the house.

    The installation went well. It varied on the day, but we had from three to five guys here every day. They would start one room and finish it. There might be two rooms that were being worked on. They just worked on a specific thing, get done with the room before they left for the day, and then come back and move on. The guys who came in were very polite, respectful and did the job efficiently, cleaned up after themselves and there was just no hassle to it. The windows were very nice and I liked them a lot. I no longer feel like there’s a wind traveling through the house. I have recommended Renewal by Andersen to several people.

    In my childhood Renewal by Andersen was what we always used in our family. Recently I purchased some replacement windows for the front of our house but Renewal by Andersen did not meet the timeline that they gave us. We were disappointed and I sent in a customer satisfaction card on it. We ordered the windows in October and we were told that they would be there the first part of December. I called the sales rep when we didn't hear anything and he was outstanding. He immediately contacted me and said customer service was going to call me that day but we never heard from them. I finally called Renewal by Andersen in January and we got the windows about three weeks later. We could see that the windows were manufactured after the time I called in January. They took 50% of the money but I don’t think the order was even placed and if I had never called we would have never gotten the windows.

    The installation team did a great job. They were very clean, very polite and they protected our wood floors. The windows are beautiful and I couldn't complain about them once we got them. We love the windows and the quality is excellent. They don’t have the heat transfer or the cold transfer through the glass. They open and close very easily, and they're crystal clear. We’re definitely going to replace the rest of the windows in the house with Renewal by Andersen. We are planning on ordering for the back of our house and I’m only hoping that the ordering process goes a little better. Renewal by Andersen is much more expensive than any other windows but if you’re going to stay in your house they’re definitely worth it.

    We moved into a house that was built in 1969 and had original windows. They were cold and drafty. We saw the add for Renewal by Anderson windows and called them. They came out and gave their pitch and we ordered the windows. They came in sooner than expected and the installation went very smooth. The workers Jullian, JJ and Irving were great to work with. They were careful of plants outside and kept everything inside clean. They covered the area where they were working with plastic and cleaned up every night. They did a great job. They showed us how everything worked and made sure we were happy before they left. We are very happy with their work as well as the outcome. We LOVE the new windows.

    The contractor that we had before had terrible reviews and our neighbor told us to check out Renewal by Andersen. That Sunday, there was even a big ad in the paper so we had a number to call right away. The initial person who sold us the windows, Mitch, seemed very nice and an expert. It was a smooth, easy sale but I didn't feel that he did the necessary follow through. He left us hanging for a little while and the implementation from his side took a little longer. But we're a part of a condo association and that may have been more challenging for him to deal with. The subsequent people at the office were absolutely fabulous though.

    Also, the most important to me was that the windows were installed properly. And their installers were real stars. They were true experts and wonderful craftsmen. They were very pleasant to have in the house. There are two floors and lots of rooms, and they were great at keeping the dust down. The windows were being put up in January and the weather was terrible. They had to do a lot of replacing of boards out in the back to make the installation good. They were gonna do it in three days and it actually took three and a half days but it would have been three if the weather had been good.

    The double hung ones were made for seaside living and salty air, and they’re superb. We've lived through four storms in March and we’re very happy. We would recommend Renewal by Andersen in spite of the initial delay that we had. The cost was a fair amount as well, also because of the installation. What they did was a great process.

    I heard about Renewal by Andersen through friends and family and this company was the only one that could offer the style that I wanted. I purchased door walls and a patio door from them. The sales rep was excellent. I had to call in for a couple of questions though and a lady that I spoke to on phone wasn’t very helpful but cooperative. So I called the sales rep and he took care of it. The installers were good but unfortunately, it started snowing when they were installing it and they left the board with the nails in my driveway and I ended up getting a flat tire. However, I called them about the issue. I got a new tire and it was reimbursed.

    They’re coming out on Monday as I have a couple of issues that have come up over the winter but the quality of the products is good. They were more expensive than the other three quotes that I got but I feel that I got a good product. You get what you pay for and you pay a lot for these doors but it’s the best quality and the best service. Also the company was pretty close to the timeline that they told us.

    We've had a little experience in remodeling and our most current project was the quality of windows in the house. They’re all custom size windows and they were originally steel casement windows. Although they probably looked very nice in 1932, they were not the best thing for keeping the house warmer. We wanted to replicate the look with a more efficient window and Renewal by Andersen was able to produce it. After we showed interest initially, they sent a representative to the house and we talked about options. They knew what they were selling and what they can manufacture. They didn’t talk that much but they explained the differences so we understood what they were selling us. Then they followed up with us and tried to nail it down and find out the schedule and cost. There were a couple of different appointments but it all worked out.

    The installation team showed up on time. We had some pre-scheduled time and they showed up with an adequate number and they kept their schedule. They replaced every window in the house, so they did 29 windows, and they were very good at doing what they had to do. It was somewhat complicated because of the way the old windows were embedded into the house but the team contained the dirt and the issues that we didn't even know might come with something like that. And the finishes were done very well. It was a remarkably good job. They was able to do a replacement that replicated the look and is much better as far as the noise and the temperature. They gave us exactly what we wanted.

    The windows operate well and the quality is very good. We haven’t had any major issues at all and anything that has come up, they have taken care of. Follow-ups have been very good. We had one window that cracked because it’s all computer-monitored now. They produced it and a gentleman showed up and replaced the broken one in 45 minutes. We also had a recall which they took care of very well. There was an issue with the glasses between several windows and they replaced those windows. They took care of that and it was no problem at all. The cost was in the higher range, but it's well worth it and we’ve told several people to give them a shot. I had to wait a while for the $100 gift card for the referral though. I suspect it got lost in the paperwork somewhere but they were good about it.

    I live in a very nice brand-new condo. I remodeled the whole thing but I am cold. I had Home Depot put in all new windows and a new patio door in this house when I got it and the windows were okay for a few years but for the last five years, I’ve been thinking about getting them replaced. Especially with one of my windows, you can put your hand there and feel the breeze coming out. My grandson would come over in the wintertime to put up those plastic thing and I hated that. I knew that I had to put windows in and I asked about some of the stuff at Home Depot but they didn’t do that. Then I saw Andersen's ad on TV and that was what prompted me to call for a salesman to come out.

    When the salesman was here, I told him about all of the issues and he looked at all my windows. He was very knowledgeable about the windows and was very thorough in explaining. I asked him what the difference was between vinyl and another material, and he told me their windows were made of composite. Plus there’s a lifetime warranty on them so that was really good. He was also very good at explaining the price. We knew it was gonna be expensive because they’ve told me that at Home Depot. But I had made up my mind. I can’t be replacing windows every five years. I was gonna pay more money than I wanted to, but I wanted to make sure to get a window that wouldn't be cold. I’m 84 and I was super sensitive. Plus it’s not just the windows. You have to have the people who can put it in properly.

    I always think that salespeople have to sell so I wonder how much I can believe. But the Andersen salesman was very personable and he gave off a feeling of being very trustworthy. He told me my patio door didn’t need to be replaced so I appreciated his honesty. That was the only thing that lasted from what I had installed. At Home Depot, they said it's actually an Andersen patio door. So I got all the other windows at good price but I probably paid double for the windows through Andersen. Still, it was worth it because it isn't a cheap window that's gonna last a few years and then start letting air in around.

    The installers came up here very early in the morning. I knew I had to be away so my grandson came over and when I come home, they were finishing up. They finished the job really fast. They also explained everything to my grandson so it was very good. I was really surprised with how well the windows looked. I like the screens on them. They’re the same style but you could see through those screens so much better. I had to go by the rules of the condo, which meant I couldn’t have sliders. So there are two double windows in the opening and then the other two were single. I think they’re gonna last. Andersen's is the only window to buy if you only want to buy once in your lifetime.

    Renewal has a little more competitive pricing and we have used them in the past. We purchased the ProVia windows and doors they offer, and some sliding doors as well. Their sales rep, Blake, was great. He and I had worked in the past as well. We were in a weird hurry the first time we met, so he had come back a second time. Then I wish I had gone slower with the details because one detail got missed. It was a tiny detail that we went over email but we didn't go over when we were face-to-face. I’ve noticed that if there’s a change done through email, it doesn’t always go through. And in my past experience, something over email also got missed. Nonetheless, Everything else went smoothly with Blake.

    The installation process was long but I expected that. Still, it was good. The windows were done quickly. The guys knew exactly what they’re doing and they cleaned up after. The front door was a little more troublesome for the installer. It was a big job and it lasted into the evening. I had to leave and my husband had to come back. Unfortunately, because of how long that took, my husband didn't check anything. The door locks itself but it’s really hard to lock and unlock it. I’m hoping it loosens up some because at the moment my kids can’t open and close it. We weren’t living in the house and I didn’t know it until a couple of days later when we came back. But that was more of our fault and the installer definitely had his hands full with this door project. Other than that, everything looks beautiful. Renewal has excellent products and I would still use them again.

    We had an old door and we live in Massachusetts so it's very cold up here. We were losing lots of heat through that door and I was paying an exorbitant amount of money for oil and gas to heat the home because of how coarse the door was. I placed a phone call to Renewal by Andersen and we scheduled the time. Their rep showed up on the day and time he was supposed to, and walked us through the various items and door possibilities for what we were trying to replace. He was very transparent of the process in terms of what he thought were the better doors for that particular entrance. He gave the options we can look at and helped us decide. That afternoon, we ran everything up and called it a day. Then he scheduled a time for the engineer to come out to make sure the door was gonna fit the opening. It was a very simple process.

    Two guys showed up four weeks later. They plastic off the area that they were gonna be working in, put the drop box down and proceeded to do the work around the door entrance to make the door fit. I had a storm door installed that's it's like an entry door. They were there for about six hours and were very efficient. They also did a very good job cleaning up.

    We have a home that's almost 200 years old. I was worried because we have an old house and that we're gonna lose a lot of the moldings around the door itself. But they saved a good portion of the molding around the door. This guy had previous experience working with older homes so that came in handy because he understood how important it was for us to keep the moldings around the door itself and keep the authenticity of the house. They did a great job to establish what they could in order to put the door in and keep the aesthetic looking the way that they should. We saw a remarkable difference when the door went in on how it keeps the heat inside the house. It also fits nicely into the surrounding area of the living room. The overall quality of the door is really great.

    Renewal by Andersen has a good name and I've seen a few things. I talked to people and contractor buddies of mine and they suggested that Andersen is who to go with. So, I got Andersen from the start when I built the house and I got a new set of French doors and a front door. The representatives I worked with were outstanding and they were accurate with everything in the timeline they gave me.

    The installation process was great and the guys did well. It snowed a little bit in the morning and they got it out and then quickly. They also worked neat and clean. I found a couple of screws in the grass when the snow melted, but they wouldn’t have seen it in the snow. Plus, it seems like they warrant everything well. There's one thing I gotta call the guy who worked on my back door about as there's a wire issue. The door just came and threw the piston to hold the screen. All in all, although Andersen is pricey, it's been worth the price so far.

Along the way, everyone was very polite and it was very clear in the explanation. Any questions we had were well answered and everyone was very prompt, returned phone calls or emails quickly, made sure that we were scheduled and then checked the schedule a day or two before and since they're coming two days from now or what's with the time.

    I have known about Renewal by Andersen for years and in my first house, I had Andersen Windows. The quality of their product is fantastic. I purchased the double-hung windows. The rep came out and I showed him what I needed to do. He validated my concerns about my current windows. He was very polite and very articulate. He had a sample of the 400 Series windows, explained to me how they’re different and he was able to go through a whole pricing scenario right there and made it easy to make a decision. The installation was great. The team that they have locally here did a fantastic job. They were here for two and a half days and they were just delightful. I could not recommend them more highly. I was very happy with how the windows were installed.

    One thing, and maybe it’s effective for a lot of folks, is that the process of coming up to what it would cost is sort of contrived. I had 17 windows specced out and the rep said that the price was $42,000. He asked me how I felt about that price and I thought that it was a completely ridiculous price. There was this outrageous price, and then there was this sale, and then there's a discount for this. To somebody like me, it would’ve been much more effective to say that here's actually the price and maybe there’s a modest discount for making a decision earlier than later. To start off with $42,000 and have the real price, which I’m sure is $27,000, was insulting. That would be the only negative in the process. But maybe that works with people.

    They not an inexpensive product but they’re a top-quality product so I’m comfortable with my decision. I’ve had some friends that have come by and said that I've got it done and that windows are a lot less expensive than what I had with Renewal by Andersen. I know that, but I chose Andersen because I expected the windows to last for a good long time. I would tell others that I’m very happy and to take a look at what I have.

All the windows were done in one day during a very cold weather and they are the best quality. They were costly but they're worth it. I know the job was done right and just for the windows, I've already had substantial savings on my heating bill.

    I had one issue where a window cracked from a stress crack so I called Renewal By Andersen. I gave them the dimension and the window number, and they were out within two weeks with the replacement. It took the installer about 15 minutes and everything was fine.

I kept using Renewal by Andersen because of the quality of the product and also the thoroughness of the people who came out to do the measuring, the specifications, and the description of the project.

    I knew the product and it was just a question of when I was gonna do it. So, I called them and they worked up a price for me. The price was acceptable and then we set a date for someone to come out and do the actual measuring. Then we set a date for the actual installation and everything went satisfactorily. The installers did a very good job. There were two or three people who came out and they cleaned up everything. They did not leave anything for me to do when the job was completed. They had the product there on time. They took less than a day to do it. It was what I expected from Andersen Renewal. If I move and get into another house that needs window replacing, I will look to them first. And furthermore, if there’s some activity in our neighborhood that they’re considering Renewal by Andersen and they want to come to my house to see my windows and talk to me, I will be a good reference for Andersen.

    A friend of ours works for Renewal by Andersen and I knew that it is a very good product. I found their rep named Gary to be very courteous, responsive to our questions, and very thorough. He really knew the different choices that were available to us, which he also explained. Plus, he did a great job letting us know the whole process.

    We purchased the composite vinyl replacement window. The installers were wonderful, and they were able to complete the installation within the timeline they gave. They obtained the permit from the city, which took them two days. It was in the middle of the winter in Massachusetts, so installing the windows wasn’t necessarily an easy task. They also cleaned up well afterwards. The windows are great. It will save us on our heating bill too because our house was built in 1885. We have had a really good experience. I would tell friends that it is definitely worth it.

    John from your office has contacted me and has reached out to Andersen Renewal to resolve our problem and I would like to report to you the following situation in sequence of events so you know why we are so upset with Andersen Window Corporation. I was told by John that Renewal Andersen is the same company as Andersen Corporation, same product lines and just a lower division: Your Renewal salesman came to our house sold us the windows with a sample that he brought with him that I can easily open and close. I mentioned that the main reason for replacing the windows is because I'm small, I have a bad shoulder and it was too hard for me to open the old windows. He did NOT disclosed that the actual windows that we ordered will be much harder to open and close than his sample window. Even the strong installation crew agreed with us during the installation our large windows were hard to open.

    Installation #1: When the windows arrived and were partially installed, I noticed the how hard they were to open/close compared to the sample window. I was disappointed and very upset that the salesman never disclosed this information to us, especially when I told him I had a bad shoulder. The salesman came and showed us alternatives, but there were few choices and we realized that at that point we were stuck with the double hung windows. The large casement style would require a big divider in the center and block too much light inside. We did change two smaller windows to the casement style and ordered those. I realized that it was a big mistake to purchase the Andersen window.

    Installation #2: The two casement windows were ordered and arrived after a very long wait. We spent much time preparing the rooms and took off work to be home during the installation. When installation crew arrived they told us the windows were too large. I requested to have the larger size installed anyway because we had already spent so much time waiting and preparing for the installation, but no one at Renewal Andersen was willing to help. I escalated the issue to your office by sending an email on March 5th.

    John from your office reached out to Renewal Andersen and I was contacted by Ryan ** who settled with me and my husband for $3k due to the past problems and assured me that he will take full responsibility from this point on and assured that he will oversee the project and make sure that nothing bad will happen again. He said that my casement windows were ordered and will be ready for installation on March 27th. We signed the addendum (see attached on March 27th installation indicated on the document).

    Installation #3: My husband and I had a lot of anticipation to get this windows project completed so we can once and for all clean and organize the chaotic mess in our house since the window project last year. On March 27th, we both took off work waiting for installation. NO Renewal Andersen came and no one called. I called Ryan ** at 9:04 AM and left a message. He called back and said he had no idea but will get back to me. My husband and I waited and wasted the entire day (took off our work) and Ryan ** finally call back almost end of day and said no install, and changed it to Thursday 3/29 morning.

    Installation #4: On Thursday Renewal Andersen came and brought in the new windows. We told them to check the windows carefully due to past mistakes. They said the size was correct and started installing them. Unfortunately they had already removed one window before we realized it did not match the other windows in our house, so they partially installed the first window and left.

    I contacted Ryan ** and reported the issue to him. Ryan ** said that the windows will need to be reordered again which means another long delay. Ryan ** said the wrong windows were not his fault, but the fault of Andersen. In the meantime the partial window installation is not sealed and watertight! Not only Ryan failed us twice and caused so much anguish (3/27 installation no-show and 3/39 wrong window), but he had the audacity to NOT take any of the responsibility and blamed it on the manufacturer. The benefit of buying Andersen windows from Andersen Renewal is because you are the same parent corporation, so why does he not take responsibility and blame it on the manufacturer? These are very expensive windows and I was hoping and expecting better service and support.

    On Friday Ryan ** called me and he claimed that he was with other people in management. The call did not go well. Ryan started to bully me and said he didn't need to do anything for me because there was nobody else for me to talk to. At the end he and I were in a screaming match and I had to end the phone call. It was just so ridiculous how he failed to take responsibility and instead tried to bully me and suppress me so that no one will know about the mistakes and misrepresentations.

    My husband and I are livid to say the very least. At this point we do not trust Renewal Anderson. The salesman used samples that were a misrepresentation of the actual products and the management does NOT stand by the products, instead blaming the manufacturer. We have expressed our disappointment and anguish to our neighbors. We also are members of Nextdoor with thousand neighborhoods online to share information in the peninsula and greater bay area. We feel the need to report our Renewal Andersen experience with our neighborhood group and will call 'Channel 7 on your side' regarding our story. We just do not want another family to go through this AWFUL experience again!

    When we bought the house, it had Andersen windows in it. We've had to call them out before because lightning hit one of them and broke it and they came out and replaced the pane for us to put in. They also worked on our patio door in the back and replaced it. They’ve always been very nice and we've always heard their reputation was terrific. So, when it came to getting some new windows, we went with them. Their rep, Glen, came and we talked. He thought we wanted the double-hung ones that were up there but we said we wanted the casement, the one that you put up and down because we felt they were easier to clean. I'm a little bit older, so the double-hung types were more a problem to me that way. He was understanding and when he came in the next time, he said he noticed that there was a lot of casement windows in my neighborhood and talked to us about it.

    We had the casement replaced and the installer said that if it were at a certain degree, they wouldn’t put the windows in, but if it were above that, they would.

    They were very thorough, did a really nice job, and cleaned after themselves. I like the windows and for the ones that we got replaced, we couldn’t have expected to get them for a less expensive price. Things are always expensive and people have to work and come out and do the whole thing. Even the man who came out to do the varnishing afterward was very neat and really thorough. He didn't want to leave a heavy smell because my daughter had a lot of allergies. He was very considerate. I have told people when they asked about Renewal by Andersen that we were very satisfied with it and we enjoyed them.

    I'm in the steel business and a supplier to window manufacturers. I know a lot about the window industry and the sales rep I got from Renewal by Andersen was far more knowledgeable than the reps from the other manufacturers. He worked in the industry for a long time and I could tell right away that he really knew his stuff. I got the higher end all wood double-hung windows for my whole house and they gave me a timeline on how long the window replacement would take. The completion of the installation was close to that timeline and was incredibly fast. They did my whole house in a day but they scheduled it for two days. It was impressive.

    So far, the windows are good quality. It's been winter so I haven't had a chance to open them, but they look beautiful. They were really expensive and I wish they cost less but there's no doubt in my mind that they're high quality products. When I had one hiccup during the process and I responded to a survey, I got a phone call from one of their managers at 8 o’clock at night wanting to know more information so he could help solve it quickly. It blew me away. It was a minor thing, but I was impressed with somebody who would take their time in the evening to call me just to make sure that I knew that they were going to handle it. I would recommend Renewal by Andersen and if someone would ask me about them, I would tell them that if they value service and quality, they should choose that company.

    My dog got away and I was running around the neighborhood trying to catch it. One of the people that were going door-to-door with the clapboard grabbed the dog for me and at that instant, he made a point of telling me who he was and why he was out there. He was from Renewal by Andersen and at the time, I needed a window in the front of my house. I told him that he could come give me a price but I was not ready then to do the window. It was a holiday weekend and he said that there was a special going. So I ended up getting my giant bow window replaced.

    That guy from Renewal by Andersen was very good but there was a miscommunication. The giant bow window bowed out and I replaced it with a flat giant picture window. I knew it would look different and eventually, I want to have a porch in the front, so I didn’t want a bowed window there if there was going to be a porch on there. I questioned him about how it would look on the outside and he said that they could put a big medallion design because I have siding on my house. I said I liked that and, in my mind, a medallion was like a big circle with a design coming out around it.

    When they installed the window, I was at work and when I came home, they were just about finished. I was stunned at how the window looked because it was not what was in my head. I told my husband that it was not what I wanted and it was not what I thought they were doing. He said that we’d ask the installers, but I told him I was just going to call the guy who sold me the window. I started to dial his number and it was the first time I've ever felt so bad. I went outside, told their guys about it and that I said that I spent a lot of money on the window. They came in, told me to let them help, and asked me to tell them exactly what I wanted. They were very nice about it. I went back outside with them and I tried to stay calm because it wasn’t their fault. They did what they were supposed to do.

    There was no actual picture of what the medallion should look like and the one they put there looked like a cab thing with a V that came down in the middle. I would never have thought that was a medallion. One of the guys said that I draw a picture of what it was I thought I was going to get. So, I tried to do a picture of what was in my mind and he also did a picture of what he thought. Then he brought me out to the front and said what they could do. He said they had the supplies in the truck and they could change it for that if I wanted. I was feeling bad because the poor guys were almost done and it was cold out.

    So, they changed it and it took them another half hour to 45 minutes. They changed the top so that it was closer to what I was thinking and I was fine with that. I offered to pay extra money because they spent more time, but they said no. They also said that they wanted me to be happy with what I got. I couldn’t say a bad thing about them and they couldn’t have done any more than they did.

    The quality of the window is very nice. I'm in the middle of painting it right now and I haven't stained it yet. I have to do that because I had the wood put in on the inside, not the vinyl. Right now, I had the window raised because it was low so I could put my furniture in front of it. They put in sheetrock in the front and plastered it. It's awesome and with it, there’s a difference in the sound inside the house. This house was built in the 60s, so it had an old window and the seal had gone on a lot of it and was foggy. It didn’t look good and it needed to go. I knew the replacement was going to be very expensive, but Renewal by Andersen's price was very reasonable. They did what they said they would do and they did it in a very reasonable time. They were also neat and didn’t make a mess. I would recommend them and I would tell others that they did a great job. I would say that they could come see my window.

    My husband was really impressed with the thermal properties and the efficiency of the windows from Renewal by Andersen. We purchased the slider window from them, and the contractor whom we worked with was very professional and straightforward. But he could’ve used more training on the computer because he seemed to be foregoing with the iPad. Other than that, the installation was completed within the timeline that they provided. It was 12 degrees that day and they went fast. So far, so good.

    The representatives at Renewal by Andersen are friendly. They provided the information that I needed as a customer. They also provided the experience that I’ll have to go through from me being in the house to how they would operate and how they would execute the product. So I had good clarity and they followed through on it. The installation went well. But the inspector made from our county and said that one of the windows in the bathroom was not fixed. He quoted some standards and I assumed that Anderson, being such a large company, already knew the standard in that city. But they have to come out and reschedule another appointment. That was the only thing that they could have done better.

    Although the experience was good, it would not add up to the cost. I have talked to other friends who have done window installation and people have gotten windows done at half the cost. The windows I purchased were double-sided and the one window, and we talked about life of the window for 25 years but not many people live in the house for that long. So I really care about what you pay for now.

    My wife and I purchased a nearly 100-year old home in July 2017 primarily because we loved many of the original details. While we loved the original windows, many did not work and we wanted to have them replaced. After doing some research, we eventually contacted Renewal by Andersen and had a salesperson come to our house in August 2017. Throughout the two-hour plus sales pitch, the salesperson stressed Andersen's quality, customer service, and commitment to customer satisfaction. After being told that we only could receive a certain discount if we ordered that night, we agreed to order 11 custom windows from Renewal by Andersen (and thereafter added two more) for a total cost of $30,000. We were promised installation in October 2017, well before winter set in for us in Buffalo, NY.

    Only weeks before our installation was to occur, we received a call from Renewal by Andersen explaining that there had been manufacturing errors with our windows and that our installation would have to be delayed by a month until November 2017. Realizing that the month delay would take us to Thanksgiving, the installation was delayed until December 2017. As the installation date approached, we again were contacted by Renewal by Andersen to explain that yet more manufacturing errors had occurred. We were pressured to proceed with the December 2017 date as scheduled and told that the defective windows should be installed and then replaced at a separate service call. We reluctantly agreed, as we were eager to have the new windows installed before the holidays and before winter set in.

    Renewal by Andersen proceeded to install the windows in December 2017. In addition to installing the defective windows we advised would be installed, Andersen also installed a window with cracked glass. Very unsatisfied, we contacted Renewal by Andersen. All we received was another in what would be a long line of hollow apologies and an explanation that the issue would have to be fixed at yet another service call. As also would be a familiar response, we were told that there was "nothing else" Renewal by Andersen could do. In addition to the cracked glass, the installation team was not provided with the required molding to place around two picture windows we had ordered. Renewal by Andersen yet again offered a hollow apology and looked to schedule another service call.

    After receiving further excuses about manufacturing errors and other delays, we scheduled service to remedy all issues in January 2018. These issues included three defective windows and installing molding that was not provided to the installation team when they came to install the windows. Things only continued to get worse as we were informed days before the service call that there were more manufacturing errors and delays and that all items could not be addressed at the January 2018 service call. Instead of splitting up one service call into two service calls as pressured to do by Renewal by Andersen, we asked Renewal by Andersen to complete everything at one service call so that my wife and I did not have to take off any additional time from work. This service call was scheduled for March 12, 2018.

    I will note that my wife and I both are professionals with busy schedules and cannot easily take time off of work. Renewal by Andersen, however, did not seem to care and insisted that all work had to take place between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. This was in spite of the fact that my wife and I both had taken full days off of work for the original December 2017 install and the January 2018 service call that never happened. Feeling we had no other option, my wife and I each took off March 12, 2018 for what we hoped would be the final service call. We sadly were wrong.

    The installer showed up on March 12, 2018 with windows that looked worse than the windows they were to replace and was not provided with the correct amount of molding to complete the molding around our picture windows. The installer was able to convince us that some of the windows that were installed were the best possible result and we accepted that. What we did not accept, however, was the replacement window that was installed with chips and scratches. We again voiced our disapproval to Renewal by Andersen and again received a hollow apology and again were told, "there is nothing we can do." Yet another service call was scheduled for the following week to address the still outstanding issues.

    At this service call, the installer was able to fix the chipped and scratched window but proceeded to install molding that had noticeable gaps on the corners. Renewal by Andersen's solution? Yet another service call scheduled for March 24, 2018. After receiving absolutely no help from our local service office, we decided to reach out to Renewal by Andersen's Corporate Office. Not surprisingly, its "customer service" line was an answering machine. A message left on March 12, 2018 still has not been returned. We also called Andersen (the parent company of Renewal by Andersen) on March 16, 2018 in an effort to speak to an actual person. While a couple individuals from scheduling were willing to speak with us, feigned concern, and promised a response, we have not received a call back from them either.

    Our nightmare finally ended on March 24, 2018 when the installer finally completed the molding around our second picture window. As noted in this review, Renewal by Andersen was glad to accept our $30,000, but was not glad to address any of our issues, which really were its own issues with poor quality and poor customer service. We received only hollow apologies and consistently were told that there was "nothing" Renewal by Andersen could do. We also received no follow-up from customer service after expressing our dissatisfaction and concerns on multiple occasions. This seven-month ordeal resulted in my wife and I each taking multiple days off of work to accommodated Renewal by Andersen because they did nothing to accommodate us. We do not feel that any other homeowner should have to go through this experience and strongly would recommend any company other than Renewal by Andersen.

When we made the order for 15 double-hung windows and three single windows, the guy came to measure and once when we got our homeowners' approval, they came out and installed them in two days. Since then, I've ordered two dormers which are double hung but they're pretty much inaccessible from the interior of the house and it took three tries to get the right measurement guy out on site who had a ladder to get to it from the exterior.

And also whoever the team leader was during the installation, was very professional and very helpful. It's a situation where windows are never cheap and they're expensive but it's a worthwhile investment. It's a thumbs up all the way around. Everything was great.

    We notated Renewal by Anderson about a month and a half ago and some sales person had no problem coming right out to talk us into getting the windows. We liked what he was saying at first. But after he left we talked about and felt we were pressed into signing something we ready didn't understand. We tried calling our sales person Dave ** and got no call back for a day or two. Then I keep calling, then he finally answered and said his father had a heart attack, when I said I wanted to talk to him about changing things he said he couldn't talk now because of his father.

    So I waited and nothing from him. Then one day a guy came out to measure the windows and I told him I haven't heard from the sales person and I was feeling uneasy about the whole deal. He said just let me measure the windows you want me to because otherwise he came here for nothing. I told him nothing is final until I talk to our sales person. I even called Renewal by Anderson and asked for a different salesperson more willing to help us. I heard nothing for weeks and forgot about everything.

    And just by happen to call last week and talked to Dave ** and he said he went to Florida for his father, he said nothing about him dying. He agreed to come to our house last Saturday or call and Saturday. Nothing. And haven't talked to him since. Then I got a call from Renewal by Anderson saying they wanted to bring the windows I had measured, and I said 3 or 4 times I don't want anything delivered to my house without talking to the salesperson Dave ** and still nothing, they didn't even tell me how much the 3 windows I had measured even cost.

    Then today I got a bill in the mail for a place I never heard of saying I owed them over $5000 for something I never received. I called and call and text and emailed Dave ** and finally texted me back, not call me like I asked and said it was too late to change my mind about the three windows because I signed a contract then started having a attitude about his father dying which I didn't know. He wanted to argue on a text so I asked him to leave me alone. Please.

    I really liked the look of Renewal by Andersen's windows, the design, and how well they're made. And the lady who was representing them was very kind. She wasn’t too pushy and she said if Andersen would come and do an estimate, it would be good for a year. I didn’t feel like I was obligated, and she made it a very pleasant experience. I also worked with Chris. He came to my house to do an estimate. We looked through all the windows. I was expecting to have to replace more windows, and upon his review, he said the windows here are really good and they just needed to be finished being placed in. I had an older home and someone didn’t finish putting the windows in. So, a couple of the windows just needed to be redone and he helped me understand the process of doing that.

    Chris also went very thoroughly through the windows by Andersen and demonstrated all of their functions and how well they feel and their way of insulating the home as opposed to the ones that I already have. He was very good at his job. I really would recommend him going to several homes that he has an opportunity to go to.

    I got double slider windows from Renewal by Andersen. I had two that were like the original two long ones that were side by side, so I had them take that out and just place one big window that would slide from either side to open. I had two of those, and then a couple of other ones that are standard windows. They weren't falling out and they did their job. My home is so much warmer.

    I was on vacation during the installation. My son was at my house, so he dealt with it. And he said he liked the installers really well. And my son has even applied to work with them. And the craftsmanship of what I looked at is really amazing, too. Also, the cost was very fair. I was thankful to all of the installers and the representatives. They did an amazing job with answering any questions, making me feel comfortable in my decision. The overall experience was wonderful.

Someone was in the neighborhood going door-to-door trying to set up appointments and he just happened to catch us on the right day. Usually, we send everyone away. It happened to be a very drafty day in my house. And he passed the contact off to Mike who was the sales rep and he came over and gave us the sales pitch. And we weren’t prepared to do the work, but we really needed it. So, we were sold. I got double-hung windows from them.

    The install team showed up a little later than we expected. They came in around 9:30 but we were expecting them between 8:00 and 8:30. Apparently, there was a slowdown at the warehouse, but it was understandable. They let us know that they were going to be late. And the crew that was doing the work were extremely courteous and very clean. It was a very cold day and they made sure that the doors were closed when they were moving in and out. And the whole installation process was really top notch. They estimated two days replacement and they almost got it done early if they didn’t run into an issue on the last window that really rotted out and it affected the support structure underneath the wall.

    I'm kicking myself for not replacing the remaining windows. We only did half of the house but it is so quiet and the sound deadening was amazing. There are no more drafts. The heating system runs about half as much as it used to. And I can't wait to see this month’s electric bill. It was absurd how much the windows cost me, but in the long run, it will be worth it. When we got to sell the house, it may be worth more because they are Andersen Renewal windows. It's a good selling point. And we should be to recoup the cost at some point, but they are extremely expensive. Other than that, we had a fantastic experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

    The Renewal by Andersen salesman came out and spent three hours with me going through all the products. We picked out the doors, hardware and options that I wanted. Then, the pre-installation guy came out and he went through everything else with me again. And then, the guys called me at 7:30 that morning and said they'd be there in 30 minutes and they were there. They jumped right in and they were done an hour before they said they were going to be done. The windows look really nice and I'm looking forward to spring when I can open them. My husband has also been very pleased with the quality, workmanship and price. You always find something less than what you paid for, but we got our money's worth. It was a very positive experience and I'm very satisfied.

    Renewal by Andersen did their job perfectly with our windows. I was looking everything initially and the choices that they have were the main thing I purchased from them. Also, quality-wise, there were only three at the top. The guy from sales was great. I talked to him and then he did everything. They had a shipping issue so I had to reschedule once, but after that, the window replacement was completed in the timeline that was set. The installers were pretty good too. I bought a lot of windows, picture windows, and double hung with sliders and their quality was great, although the cost was more compared to other companies like Stella or Marvin. The only thing I'm supposed to do is call Renewal by Andersen when they will work because one of the picture windows is not exactly the right angle. Still, I'm happy with them.

    We’ve had Andersen windows almost throughout our whole house. We had a big bay window done a long time ago and now we had two sliding doors made with them. They called, came out, measured, and then made an appointment to come back and install it. It went nice and smooth. The installation took a day for the two top-notch installers. They were very clean and they put up the screen and plastic so it didn’t dirty up the house. The floors were still nice and clean, the rug was put back the way it should’ve been, and everything was good. They had quite a job and they didn’t damage anything. But we have a little issue, which might be just with their caulking, so a rep will be coming out on Monday and we’re going to discuss with him and see how to fix it.

    My husband and I agree that our purchase of windows from Renewal by Andersen was one of the biggest mistakes we ever made. We paid way more than we should have. I believe that had we not accepted their "best" offer under pressure of it expiring in 72 hours, we probably would have gotten much better offers from them in due time. Now that our windows have been in place for over two years, I think I can review them fairly. While we no longer have ice build-up between interior windows and the storm windows, which is a positive, we also are no longer as warm as we were with our old windows.

    Our electric usage has been consistently higher in the winter and we have been forced to use supplemental heat in the house, something we never had to do before. One of the first things we noticed with our windows is that the amount of outside noises we heard increased significantly (cars going by, raindrops hitting the sill, wind blowing). Our experience with the employees was very good and installation was excellent but overall I am disappointed with the product itself. We have not required service, so I can't comment on that.

    Renewal by Andersen had a salesman come out, measure, and give us an estimate for windows replacement in our condo last summer. Then, we talked with a few other people and we didn't do anything for a while. Winter came and it got really cold because the old windows were leaking and rainwater came through inside. We finally decided to go ahead and do it in late December. I didn't get to it this time and manufactured until I get an installer and it was late January. When we decided to do it, it was the same salesman who came and re-measured. We went through it again and they contacted me when it was ready and set a date for installation.

    The installation was very good. We're on the fourth floor, so I had to get a boom truck to lift them in up because it was too high to do on ladders and they showed up with that. The boom truck came on Sunday and the installation was on Monday. The installers showed up when they said they would. Also, they told me what they were going to do, laid out matting and plastic all over the house so they didn't track stuff around, and put plastic over furniture so the dust and stuff didn't get on it in each room. And when they took the window out, it was 12 degrees outside so we had to shut this room off as they did it. They said they would do it all in one day and they came at 9:00 and were gone by 3:00. I was pretty impressed with how fast and smooth it went. The installers knew what they were doing and they worked well together.

    We purchased standard windows that were thermal pane, double glass and were made out of a composite material as opposed to some other competition as wood and vinyl. They were more expensive than some and were in a ballpark with others. It would be better if you could buy the same thing cheaper but we got some discounts because of the sale they had at that time and the fact that we did all the windows in the condo. From the initial numbers, it came down substantially but it was still quite a lot of money. But I felt that it was a good value and it has helped a lot. The old ones had no insulation around them and they were pretty drafty. It didn't turn into a Florida sunroom, but it's still much better than it was.

    A couple of years ago, my neighbor got an Andersen door. She was completely happy with it. I liked it and Renewal by Andersen sounded like a reliable company. I got a whole indoor door from them. I also had a screen door on that same side. They told us about how long the replacement would take and everything was in accord. I am overjoyed with my door. It was two doors, a storm door and a screen door, and they’re both of much better quality than what we had.

    The salesman who came out was very informative as well. He showed us a lot of pictures and talked about it. In fact, there was a feature that he talked about and it seemed like an extra good one. We chose to have it and that was the blind within the door. We’re very happy with that. And then, the fellows who came out to do the door were very good and considerate, and they cleaned up everything. It was even one of the “start of the winter” cold days that day. The only thing that hasn’t been done is the painting trim and I expected that wouldn’t be done because the weather was too cold. But everyone we dealt with was more than satisfactory. And I’ve got other woods and with their help, I chose one. It blends very nicely. If I will be getting windows, I would definitely get them. And if I have a friend who wanted to put new windows or doors in, I would recommend them Renewal by Andersen.

    I did some research and I did see there was a half-hour show on some channel that Renewal by Andersen had and showed the difference between everything. I've also heard from other folks that they're the best. I had the salesperson, Fred, come out and he was excellent. He explained all the advantages and the differences, etc. in the different types of windows that are out there on the market. He was very thorough, took his time, answered all the questions I had and reviewed all of the options whether to use wood or Fibrex in the interior or replacing the trim around the windows in the exterior. He was very professional. He also said there was an option for a zero interest loan that I could take for part of the windows.

    The next person that came in was Joe, a foreman, who took more accurate measurements and he caught a couple of things that the salesperson missed, which was great. He caught the fact that there was some extra space so we would not need a custom slider. We could get a standard size instead. Also, the bathroom window, based on the size of it, did not have to be the shatterproof type glass. He and the installers were excellent. They were very thorough and professional. I purchased the inserts, it was 19 windows. Originally, the timeline I was given was four days and it turned out to be two days. I'm very happy with the quality of the windows. The product was excellent and it was worth the money. Their reps are responsible and you can call them if there are issues.

    I had Renewal by Andersen replace four windows. I like the quality of their product and I also heard good things about them. The salesman was very good about following through and keeping in touch. He was very customer-service-oriented and always got back to me when I had a question. He did a very good job. We had a difficult deal and he stayed with it. I was given a timeline on how long it would take the replacement. They kept following through on it, but the timeline kept getting pushed out of line. But it was not their fault. There were issues with the historic district in Boston that we were having issues with.

    The gentleman who put the windows in was excellent. I had to meet him up there and stay there while he was there. It was a full day, and he was there the whole time and just working right at it. And the end result was very nice. The windows are expensive, but I'm assuming that I'm getting my money's worth. The installation was definitely worth it. It was installed in an old brick building, so that made it not an easy install but it was nicely done. And, they're very reliable windows. I had a very good experience with the window company. I just had a billing error that goes to the finance company. It looks like they added to the deposit instead of taking it out. So, they're financing us with $3,000 more than they should be. And so I tried to get a hold of someone from there. If my friends would ask, I would tell them the windows are very good and they'll be happy with it. But they might have to weigh it out with the cost.

    6 Anderson Fibrex double hung windows installed 7/21/2017, called in early December 2017 advising the lower sashes on all 6 double hung windows were leaking air. Company sent a repair person out to check "H" gaskets in corners and replace one that was missing. Did not fix problem and actually caused increased air at top of lower sash on all 6 double hung windows. Company sent another repair person to check installation; interior and exterior which visually looks fine. Remedy, install chimney plugs in lower sash side tracks. That reduced the air migration by about 80% but air continued to leak along both sides and front of all 6 lower sashes. I applied slight pressure to center of lower sashes (6) and it flexes by about 3/8". Took video of duct taped windows and flex in lower sash, sent to company and they sent another repair person out.

    He confirmed, yes they do leak and he pushed on lower sash which moved a good 1/2". On the spot he offered to order replacement set of windows which I declined. How many little foam pieces are they going to try before recognizing the Fibrex windows installed in my home are defective and 95% worse than the ones those replaced. It's been almost 2 months and I'm told they, Renewal by Andersen (Mechanicsburg PA), are waiting for corporate direction since I am insisting on a full refund and removal of the Andersen windows in accordance with the warranty. So, as Andersen's ad states: the installer can't blame the manufacturer and the manufacturer can't blame the installer because they are the manufacturer and the installer, so they just ignore the issue and hope you go away. That's ridiculous.

We have so many additional windows that we were very happy with, and that's why I bought six windows from them again. The cost is justifiable because of the quality of the windows. It was a little more than the replacement windows we had when we first purchased the house, but it's no comparison to the quality. Everything went beautifully from the sales representative that came out to the installers.

    I like Renewal by Andersen’s reputation and quality. We knew it was going to be more expensive, but we have always heard good things about them, and we wanted something that was going to last. The salesman was super knowledgeable. He has been selling windows for a long time and he has sold for one of their competitors before, so he knew what he was talking about. I used their windows once upon a time too, so I can find out if somebody is not telling me the full truth. He gave us expectations as far as how long it would take to have the patio doors custom-made and when we could possibly have the install done. We purchased 17 windows and two patio doors, as well as some sliders, a couple of pictures, and some casement.

    My wife was home, and she was nine months pregnant when they did the install. The team worked with her and gave us heads-up as to which rooms they would be and when, so she could make plans to be in a different room or go hang out with her friends for the day. The installation was pretty convenient and easy, and they did a really good job. They took a day and a half to work on the windows and a day and a half for the patio doors, so three days total. The quality is so far, so good. The windows themselves look perfect, and everything looked good when they were done.

    The Renewal team was completely upfront about being so busy, and it was three months from the time we ordered the windows until they were able to install. We knew that going into it, so it was not a big deal, but maybe faster or more shifts at the factories would help. If I had to think of one thing to improve, that would be it. Nevertheless, if you want to do windows or new patio doors, definitely go with Renewal by Andersen and don’t be scared away by the higher price. You are going to pay a bit more than what you might get from a Home Depot or Lowe’s, but the quality and the service is a lot better.

    We needed new windows so we got three picture windows across the front, sliders, a door wall and an interior wall from Renewal by Anderson. They went out of their way to do an excellent job and I was very happy. They were vacuuming as they went out the front door. Also, there was a problem in our house which was caused by another contractor and they fixed it. The windows look extremely nice. We've had rain up to three inches in the last few days and the windows didn't seem to get dirty on the outside. They didn't have all the water spots and they seemed nice and clear.

    My rep, however, could have provided me a little more information. I didn't realize that my small kitchen window that they screened goes across the whole window. I have a window bird feeder that has to be attached to the window and I like to have it up but with the screen there, I couldn't attach the bird feeder to the window which made me upset. My hummingbirds come up to that window and feed, but not now. It just ruined my way of feeding all the birds.

    Another thing was that there was no place to grip the window when I open it. I just have to fit my finger in there. Now, if I had large hands, it would be difficult. The previous windows I got rid of had a little piece which I could slip out to stop the window which was a wonderful idea. However, with the ones I have now, I could slide them all the way over and there's nothing that prevents it from stopping two inches so someone couldn't just reach in, cut the screen and slide the rest of the way over. Before, I felt very secure at night when I left my window open but now, I wouldn't leave my window open at night. If they had left a notch where my fingers could go in to slide it over, that would have helped. But other than those issues, everything has been extremely nice.

    I always liked Andersen but when I moved back to my dad, he had the original windows and he wanted sliders. I thought, “Oh, I don’t want sliders this time.” Then there was tint because I had planned to get them. A gentleman stopped at the house by chance and he was from Renewal by Andersen, “Because I was just wondering if you were looking to get windows?” I said, “I am actually, eventually next year.” He asked if I want him to set up an appointment to have them come out and give me all the details and show me the windows so I agreed. When the rep brought the window and the sample I asked where the screen was and he said that it was on. I told him I’ve never seen a screen like it and it looks like I'm looking without a screen.

    They were nice and I like it a lot. They’re high but once I dealt with the salesman when he came out I almost tapped out at first. But then he gave the discounts that he could and I sat there and said, “You know what after seeing these ones I don’t think I’m going to be happy going anywhere else.” He took the time to detail and told me everything. I hounded them to keep going lower on the price and he was trying to do everything he could. When he said he couldn’t go any lower, I had to stop and it was either I’m going to commit or not, so I committed.

    The window's quality is very nice and I was as excited to get the bay window for my cat as I was for me. I told to several different people at work about them. My experience with them was very good and they were efficient. They were talking me through different stages, they were clean about themselves and about picking up the glass with their covers, and taking it to the truck to get it all out of the house. I was especially impressed with the way they did the bay window. They had to cut through the siding, because it was like a custom window, and it looked like it came with the house. I was very satisfied with them.

    I’ve had the Andersen windows before in my first home years ago and I liked them. Everything seemed good with the advertisement on TV and I stuck with Andersen. I liked their products so I went with it. The representative sized the windows up when he came and he explained everything. He said he was going to send the guy out to take measurements again and it all worked out well. He was good at what he did. I got two windows and it’s the regular kind that goes up and down. Then, I have the turn-out windows for most of the house. Three guys came for the installation and they took the windows off and replaced them.

    It took them a couple of days although I figured it would take a bit because of the inserts they used. They came back once because they had the wrong window and they redid it. They communicated all of it to me. They came when they said they were going to come. In fact, they came early because they had to make up a new window for me at the factory. I like the new windows but the guys had to come out once again to adjust one in the bathroom. They did it quickly and took care of the problem. The installers who did the job were excellent and I was very happy with all of them. I’m also happy with the product. So far, I love the windows and they fit into the price range I figured.

    I’m in the construction industry and Renewal by Andersen’s reputation is stellar. It was said that they were a lot more expensive than Pella’s but I hoped for quality and that I would get a return on the investment so I went with Andersen. I replaced every window in the house and that cost about $40,000, which was more than my car’s value. Andersen’s reps were very good and patient. The one who sold me on the products was Dave and he was outstanding. He helped me walk through the timeline and later, he came out to make sure that the installation was going well.

    I also bought two opening patio doors and Dave said that it may take a little bit longer to get those delivered. I understood that but I was still upset during the week of the installation. I was fighting with the guys who were supposed to be doing curtain wall because they promised me a delivery date then, unfortunately, stuff happened to the factory. I got a call from them and the person said that there was going to be a delay. He said that the windows were going in that weekend as planned but the doors wouldn’t be there for another month and a half.

    They did get me my doors within that time but they didn't notify me about that and that was my biggest gripe. I’m in the industry so I was aware that those things happen, but I would have liked to be notified. I spoke with their Director of Operations and he walked me through everything. Despite being not too happy originally, he landed up working with me and helping me a bit to alleviate the pain. He was phenomenal and they worked it out between Andersen Corporate and the local office.

    During the installation, the guys who came out were incredible. They came early and I let them know that in Montgomery where I live, there are noise restrictions and they understood that. I would have loved if they started earlier but they couldn’t because of the restrictions. But they were very fast and very efficient in putting the windows in. They did the installation very cleanly and very neatly, too. They were exceptional so I asked for the same crew to put in the doors. Half of them came back and it was snowing that day but they did a good job of getting in and out as quick as they could. They did not get the floors wet and there was no snow in the house. They were topnotch. So, installation wise, the training provided was awesome and the guys knew what they were doing. Everything was great and I’m very happy about that.

    I am also happy with the quality of their products and I was very satisfied with the end-result. There was supposed to be a double pane to keep the cold down and the bedroom of the house feels a bit warmer, which is a good thing. It’s doing its job. There should also be a little more of a discount, but other than that, I am very pleased with the aesthetics. The process was hard but Andersen worked with me to try to make the situation better and I appreciate that. They came out and verified installation twice and I got follow-up calls on the operation side. The only thing they have to improve on is their communication process. So I would recommend Renewal by Andersen in a heartbeat, with the caveat that people should verify that the windows and doors come at the same time.

    Ok, do not buy from this company. I had 5 windows installed and paid over $9,000! I recently found out that I was charged more than double of what I should have been. But being a single woman, what do I know about windows. Being total taken advantage of! Lesson learned. The sales rep refused to answer my emails, I requested a breakdown cost of each window and never received it. He told me that they don't receive commission but I find that hard to believe now. The sales rep told me to have all the windows changed out in my home would be $30,000!!! I do have to say the installers were great, did a great job, friendly and very professional.

    When I had a previous install with Renewal by Andersen, I got along well with their sales rep and decided to go with them again. We had them put a double case crank window and a sliding window. Their installers were outstanding and kept me abreast of what was going on. They were on time and courteous. They were just what I want to have for people that are coming to my house to take care of that part. The quality of the windows are fine. It was 20 below last night and I was only mildly chilling. They were pricey but I’m happy with the product and it works fine.

    However, I had to go through a lot to get them to adjust their schedule to mine. When I told their guy to set up the appointment after 10 am on a Wednesday, he called in and said, “Well, we only do appointments in 9:00, 12:00, 3:00, and 6:00.” So I told them that they are going to have to do it after 10:00 if they wanted to sell the windows. It was a little off-footing and it bothered me a little bit. Then the sales rep who I knew from the last install saw my name on their appointment list. It was going to be assigned to somebody else but he grabbed it and said that he knew me and it worked out well. Other than that, I was very satisfied. They are a local company and the Andersen windows are made up the road here at the East and that means a lot to me too.

    We needed a patio door that was almost custom-built because we didn’t want to alter the space in any way. The initial Andersen salesman that came was great. The installer showed up alone, did all the cleaning and he did a super nice installation. They were within the timelines they laid out. In fact, they were a little earlier. However, I was rushed so I didn’t ask him questions about the patio door locks because we thought it was a different type of latch. It’s spring-loaded and rotates a little bit different than the others so it feels kind of loose in the slot. We called Andersen and the person on the phone wasn’t aware of that so I had to schedule the serviceman to come out. The serviceman looked at it and confirmed it was a nice installation which we knew all along. Overall, I had a positive experience. The patio is top-quality and we’re extremely satisfied with it. I would recommend them.

    I chose Renewal by Andersen for their reputation, and I purchased the crank-out windows from them. We had somebody come out to our house and gave us a quote. My husband's interaction with the rep was pretty flawless. We got the Renewal team out right after State Fair time, so there were extra incentives in terms of reductions if we signed up that same night. We ended up agreeing to it that night for the three-bedroom windows, and we did the credit card.

    The installation was great. The inside of the window was pine, but I feel like the outside of the window is oak or whatever it is. But, in general, the Renewal team knew what they were doing, and they were in and out very quickly. We've had Renewal by Andersen twice now on two different occasions and both times, we've had the same salesperson. The people that have come out to do the measurements had been really good and on time. We are very happy with Renewal by Andersen and we would certainly recommend it. They had been really good to work with.

    I got a new sliding door for my deck from Renewal by Andersen since the one that was initially installed in the house was leaking because it was installed incorrectly. I was impressed with what I saw when the salesperson came out. I've also heard good things about them from other people who have used them. It was also nice that the rep came all the way out to our house since I live a way out. They looked at the existing door to see if there was anything they could do repair-wise to it, but they determined that they couldn’t. They then walked me through the different products that were available, the prices and financing options. We then settled on a door that day.

    The only thing that was a little odd was that they had the wrong email address so I didn’t get notified that the installers were coming out. I was already at work then but I was able to arrange something and had somebody let them in. I got back to the house just after they arrived and got started. They did the installation within five hours and everything went smoothly. They put down runners. The cost is higher than a lot of the other options I could have gone with, but I can definitely see a difference in quality between what I had and what the new door is. I love the door, and I'd definitely recommend Renewal by Andersen.

    I used to work for Home Depot and I've heard a lot about Andersen while I worked there. In fact, I sold some Andersen windows and I had the impression that Andersen was a high-quality window and I wanted to get some of those windows too. Rich, the salesperson who came out to quote us on the windows was very sociable and friendly. He did a good job. He gave us all the details that we needed to know about the project and the quality of the windows. He also answered all our questions. What impressed me about him was his willingness to travel long ways for sales calls. He worked around our schedule and we appreciated the whole interaction.

    We purchased the Renewal brand. I had sliders, double-hung windows, and patio door. We also got an Andersen entry door with astragal. The installers were all friendly. They came in and installed the windows in the middle of December and they did their job really well and really quick. There were two crews working and each worked on a window at a time. So, there was a couple going, but most of the house was sealed up the whole time. They would take the window out for a brief period, seal up the framework around it and then install the window. The temperature got down in the 50 and 60-degree area but it wasn't too bad. The work got done a little bit quicker than I anticipated.

    So far, I like the quality of the windows and it’s good. But I was anticipating the windows to be a little bit warmer. There were some times when it was a little chilly by the window sill but we have some heavy curtains that we hang in front of our windows and that made a difference. Now that windows are back in place, the climate and the window’s quality are getting better and we don’t see any condensation with the new windows as with our old windows. Our old ones were wood and were rotting out so the new composite materials were much nicer. I’d tell a friend to do Renewal by Andersen windows if they could afford it. The project wasn’t inexpensive but the window’s quality was definitely worth it.

    Close to a year prior, we had done a patio door with a rep at Renewal by Andersen. We initially went to the State Fair and sat with them and then he came out the first time and we called him back and said that we're going to do the door. We were really happy with it so six months later, we called up Renewal by Andersen again around State Fair time and had them come out, and decided it on six other windows that we had hung by December. We stayed in contact with him the whole time and we went straight to our initial contact. He was very easy to talk to and very understanding, and we felt no pressure. But the presentation sold us on it. We purchased the crank windows and the installers called and told us that they were all ready to go. They came in and it was all done within the day, which was super surprising. They went way fast. They laid down the paper on the floor and did everything from the inside, which I was surprised with too.

    And then, before we knew it, they were cleaning up to go. The quality of the windows is top-notched and everything we expected. The demonstration is living truth in our house because we feel a lot warmer in this cold winter. We noticed it right away, and also being in friends’ houses, we feel like, “Oh, it's different.” And even in some of our friends’ that have newer built houses, no one wants to sit next to the window. This is definitely an investment but we're very happy with the quality. We didn’t have to get any other contractors or anything else involved that we were just happy to do it that way. We would definitely recommend Renewal by Andersen, and if they can explain the cost, it is definitely worth it.

They went around and looked at my windows and then they gave me suggestions for the windows I might like and what kind of windows I might like to use as well. They gave me two or three different quotes which I liked, and they weren’t pushy at all. I really liked that. I was talking to people who really knew what they were doing.

    The installation went very smoothly. The group of young men who did the installation did a wonderful job. The quality of the windows was fabulous. The cost was high but it was worth it.

    We replaced one of our bedroom windows, and we also replaced the master bedroom's patio sliding doors. The house is about 18 years old and we put Andersen in at the very beginning so they knew exactly what we have and was able to match everything up. We had the salesperson come out and he showed us the different options on the different types of windows. Once we picked it out and made sure all the hardware was correct, he placed the order. Then, the installers and the strainers came out to take a look and re-measure, and the order was placed.

    We're just waiting for everything to come in. There are a couple of different sessions because of different things that needed to be done, but other than that, it pretty much went off without a hitch. They did a very good job. The products are supposed to be a little bit more heat-efficient than our older ones. We got the tinted ones with the thermal paint and I’m very happy with them. They work well. I wouldn’t hesitate to call Andersen again but because of the number of windows, we’re going to have to do it in phases because of the cost. Next year, we’ll do a couple more and keep going.

    We wanted to maintain a good look that we have on the other windows and wanted to do some styled window so we were replacing windows with newer ones. These windows that we had were original in the house. We were able to look at different options with Renewal by Andersen when they came into our house. The rep that I worked with was able to look at different sizes. We had a split window and she was able to put a window that didn’t have a center divider in it so we have a solid glass now. They had variety and we got to choose the type of hardware in the comfort of our home. We went with all wood to match our main level and then our lower level was more of a vinyl. We did sliding glass doors of the kitchen and a bedroom window downstairs that were a bit old and a safety hazard.

    The installation process was good. There were two guys that came in the morning and did it. It was warm so they didn’t leave anything open for that long and they cleaned up well after. We moved stuff out of the way but they were professional and back to the job after they were done and made sure that inside and outside, everything looked good. Then as far as duration of replacement of the three windows, they said it would be a day. They were backed up quite a bit but then I got a call three weeks prior to when they said they would and they had a cancellation so we were able to move up on their schedule. They completed the installation on December 19 when it was scheduled to be sometime in January so we’re happy with that.

    In terms of the cost and the quality of the products that I ended up with, it was good but we could have done it cheaper. We searched with another vendor in upper level but we didn’t want that look upset our main level just because we have lots of trees in our backyard and these are nice views. We just wanted to maintain that all natural look so we were okay with spending a little bit more. Renewal by Andersen was an option and it was not going to be the cheapest one but from turnkey and either do it yourself or having maybe another vendor, they came in very, very efficiently. Overall, I got what I paid for. They completed their job and all their work was quality. All the finishing and trim work were very clean and cut cleanly.

    I like Renewal by Andersen's reputation and I had referrals from my family members. We got four windows replaced, three slider windows and one awning, and their entire process was easy to go through. Their rep came to our house a day or two after we requested a quote and he spent a lot of time looking at all the different situations that we had and making recommendations. He was great to work with. Also, the installers were really nice, helpful and they finished the installation on time. They showed up first thing in the morning and they worked around the different rooms so that my daughter can have her room for nap time. The cost, however, was very expensive but the quality is good. I hope that the products installed will last a long time.

    We had Renewal by Andersen replace the original windows of our home. We had double hung windows done to look like the ones they were going to replace. We also added a couple of extra panes on the upper portion of it for separation and a different look. The units, however, took a while to be ready. We had somebody come out in late September but nobody gave us a call back so we called them. After that, somebody came out to do the estimate. From that time, which was the last week of September, it took two weeks before somebody came out and took the measurements.

    They told us that it would take them 30 days to get the unit in and install them but it took three weeks longer than what we expected. It was mid-December, just before Christmas, that they were able to do the installation. They should have at least called us about the delay, but that didn't happen until just before they were coming out to install. But the installation process went well. The guys who worked on it were quick and got the job done within a few hours, which was a bit faster than I thought it would take. They did a good job and made sure that everything was clean.

    Our condominium association required us to do a renewal with Andersen. I bought the patio doors. Andersen provided a timeline for the replacement and completed this installation within the timeline but not for the initial one. The installation for the renewal was good. It took two days. They had to do some tear out. They're all different projects. They took stuff out one day and put it in the next. My rep was good. He got it done nicely.

    I previously bought Renewal by Andersen slider door from Home Depot and I was happy with the quality. And then, they had a presentation at the state fair. They had a whole big display house set up, so it was easy to look at it. Then we had the person come over, did some measurement, and went over all the options, and he explained the financing, the cost, and everything else. It was easy for us so I bought six double-hung windows and one more slider from them. Their installers were quick, professional, and very clean. And the windows seem to be topnotch as well. They are a big improvement over other ones. Overall, although their products are a little more expensive than a lot of the other cheaper replacements, the way Renewal by Andersen crew installed them and everything makes them worth it. They made it simple for us and I would definitely recommend them.

    We had slider windows done by Renewal by Andersen. The windows were brand new and the quality was good. I was a little surprised at the cost, but I had no reference points to compare it against. During installation, everything went very well. Their installation crew was very courteous and did a professionally nice job. The windows looked great, but I didn't plan the installation to be that long. The first day took 10 hours, next was an 11-hour day and the next day was a 12-hour day. It was a two-man crew and there should've been more people engaged with it.

    Also, when we wanted to change window styles, I was a little surprised that due to the building code, changing the window style would involve a lot more work with the city. So we ended up with the same window style. But overall, the experience went well and they kept the house nice and protected the carpet. I like the windows and that their crew was local, so it was nice. I’d recommend Renewal by Andersen if a friend asks me about them, but I’d tell them to get a comparable price to see if the value and the cost are different.

    Renewal by Andersen was a neighborhood recommendation. And when their representative came over, he showed me my options. But when he left my house, I felt totally confused because I didn't know what I was getting. He spent a ton of time here, but he simply told me what I would get. I ended up having to go to the showroom afterward to see what I was really getting. It would have been good if there were more pictures just to be a little bit clearer. The guys who came over to do the installation were awesome. It was a month later by the time they actually showed up though, but they did a really good job. They finished the job in the three days that they set up for it. They did everything right, put runners down and even cleaned up after themselves. The windows are great and they don't fog up. The house is warmer and I could tell the difference. Overall, it was a good experience for me and I would definitely recommend them.

    My wife had used Renewal by Andersen before and we had a good experience with them at her house before we bought this house. The most recent windows that we purchased were the crank-outs and Renewal by Andersen lived up to the timeline the replacement would take. We had already bought three patio doors earlier in the year when we recently purchased the house. We had been upgrading things so we let the rep know we were ready to do windows. He stopped over, set it up, and it was very easy. His expertise was excellent. He knew everything that needed to be done and adjusted a couple of things to make them work better on the new installation. He was really good to deal with.

    The installers let us know when they were coming. We got everything ready for them when they arrived in the morning and worked it all day until six o’clock at night and they got everything done. The woodwork was well done. Their products are expensive but it’s a premium product and it’s worth it. We’re planning to do a few more windows in the future. I would recommend Renewal by Andersen.

    Renewal by Andersen has a really good reputation and that's why I chose them. I had been in a street fair and they had a booth. I was talking to a woman there and they offered some promos. She hooked me up with the gentleman who came out to look at my house and gave me an estimate. He came out and we had a discussion and looked at exactly what I wanted to be done and then he told me what he could do. I purchased windows for my whole house and a patio door. The temperatures have dipped down to freezing during the weeks that the installers came but the installation went very smoothly. They didn't leave anything exposed for very long. They had a window taken out and then one put in and sealed up before they ever went on and exposed anything else so I appreciated that. They cleaned up the yard and the house afterward. It was incredible.

    There were only three guys and one guy came in just to do the patio door. But the other two guys were the ones that did the rest of the windows. They were so organized. It was just incredible the two guys could do that much and leave it like they had never been here. I was really impressed and very pleased. Renewal by Andersen’s products are good. It was 40 below and I had some icing on the inside of the windows, and that worried me. But I had talked to other friends and they were experiencing the same thing. I have recommended Renewal by Andersen and if others would ask me about them, I would certainly have them talk to them. They could even come and look at mine. When the inspector came here, he said "Oh Renewal. You chose a really good product," so that too reinforced that I had made a good decision.

    I've worked with Renewal by Andersen twice now and I've had a great experience with them. The most recent one, I replaced a fixed window and two sliders in the living room, a fixed window in the bedroom closet, and two casements in the master bedroom. It was also the second time I worked with the rep so I was familiar with him and he knew our home and how we liked to do things, which made me feel comfortable. We went through all the different options and he paid attention to my cost concerns and I was fully aware. He also had a really calm manner.

    Our order was then ready by November. They called me the morning they did the installation to tell me that the installers were going to be at our house within half an hour, so I was prepared. They then came in and they started their work and were very friendly and answered our questions. They did a great job. It's so much quieter in the house now. I can tell I have a high-quality product.

    The only problem I had with the installers was that they couldn't get off a movable blind on the front window that I had. So they just took off the whole piece that it was mounted to, which I had to have reinstalled. I was also surprised at how the window is a little wider than the original, so now my movable window blind doesn't come to the windowsill anymore. Also, the edges of the framework around the fixed window and the closet are a bit wider so I had to get them reinstalled because I can't get the screws in.

    We already had some other quotes but the Renewal by Andersen rep came out and did her measurements. Then, we looked at options and the different types of windows, and we decided to go with the windows that she selected. She was a very experienced salesperson and knew a lot about windows such as the grade of the glass. We bought 17 windows and the installation was seamless. It took two days which I thought would take longer than that. They showed up when they said they were going to show up, left when they said they were going to leave and finished on time. The crew that I had did an excellent job. The windows are awesome and they've made a huge difference. There was a draft in front of some of the windows prior but now, there’s nothing.

    Renewal by Andersen has a strong background in their windows. I purchased a patio door and three other windows. All the rep wanted to do was to sell windows. He was pushy but I needed windows and I knew Andersen was a strong company so I still went with them. I was not too happy with that salesperson. He hadn’t given me the expertise I needed and the financing he gave me was wrong. I was told that it would take about a month but it ended up to be almost four months. Moreover, when the guy came to measure the windows didn’t have what I especially wanted on the order.

    My dad was here while they were installing it. They were here on the coolest day, at negative 14. They got it done and it was a decent product. They reminded me not to use the patio door or the windows since it's winter time but it had kept the cold out. It is a lot better than what I had before. I would recommend Renewal by Andersen to a friend, but they should avoid the rep I dealt with.

    We’ve heard a lot about Renewal by Andersen and they’re also in Minnesota. We were at a car show festival and we happened to see them. They had signed up for an appointment that you can get so much off and then it would be good for years. We were tired of our living room being cold so the window has to be replaced. We had plastic over the other one and it was still cold. It was probably 20 years old or more already and we had four panels on the other one, two in the middle and the other in the end opened up. So, we had Renewal come out and they gave us an estimate which was pretty reasonable from what we have been told before by others. We told them to go ahead and have it done. They put the windows at the start of January.

    The window is a tri-window. It has one big window and two sliding windows, one on each side. We had a door window before but that was quite expensive to replace so we went with this one. We really like the new windows and it took them about three and half hours to put it in. The installers were very cautious. They raised a curtain down the floor and they put their shoes off and took everything up. So, it was very clean and what they did was very good. They also told us what they were doing and what we had to do to fix it because the inspector came too early without them really having to start anything so we had to call them and have them come again. But other than that, we are happy and the window is perfect. They made a big difference in our living room. It is brighter.

    The girl who gave us the estimate was very friendly. She explained everything to us. Then, the guy came out to take the measurements again and they were knowledgeable about what they were doing. They kept asking us if we had questions which were very nice of them. The representative or the manager even came by two hours later to see how things were going. It was smoother than the last time we had them. Renewal by Andersen did a good job. They even left paper around the wooden frame on the window. They went an extra mile and did follow-ups if everything looked good. I was very satisfied with everything. Both guys that came out here, the representatives, the people calling, everybody was friendly and helpful. If we have to do windows again, I’d do Andersen.

He walked the house to see what I needed and was able to sit down and give me a quote. He was very informative, not a pressure situation. Based on what I heard and the price he was able to quote, it had come back to where I was acceptable within what I anticipated so I was able to sign up that day. I signed a contract that day to get the process started but he was not pressuring me to do that, which I very much appreciated. That always rubs me the wrong way when they're like, “Let's leave with the deal.” I replaced the windows for my entire home with the double-hung and it was high efficiency. I have a very old house.

    They found lead and so they came in with the lead abatement team first and cornered that off. Then the installers came through behind, then they started upstairs, which took two days. They finished downstairs and they did a great job. The windows are great and have good quality. I have a 120-year-old that had original windows so it's really nice to have new windows. It was definitely expensive but, in this instance, you get what you pay for. They're really good windows. I have had a lot of heat loss in the winter the last several years.

    We had Andersen install two replacement picture windows 11 days ago. Cost $12,000. That's not a typo. They put something like $200 into their bid for stucco repair and paint to make the exterior good again from the damage caused by pulling out the old windows. You and I both know that $200 won't prime and paint a bird house unless you do it yourself. So, we declined to use their stucco guy and used our own. They are also window and exterior trim installers as well as flashing and roofing experts. They told us that the windows are installed incorrectly. Andersen put them in too low, so that now they have created a standing trough where water will collect at the bottom of the windows; they didn't install them flush to the weather bead, in fact they are about an inch behind it, and you can see that the windows run out from one side to the other; they are not even parallel to the framing.

    I am quite sure that their stucco repairman would have tried to cover this all up with stucco and caulk, which would have had to be removed once water started coming into the wall cavity. It is worse than a weekend DIY job by a first-timer. I should have listened to my best judgment because the neighbors across the street also had a botched job by Andersen and after 18 months of haggling reached a settlement with them, but with an NDA (non-disclosure agreement), meaning they agreed to not talk about the settlement. Andersen somehow gets by on reputation, but their work is incompetent.

    I purchased 17 replacement windows for my home in February 2006 and spent over $21,000. It has been 11 years and the weather stripping on 3 of the south facing windows is falling off. They said they have had problems with that but won't cover it under warranty because the warranty is only 10 years. Also 5 or 6 of the window cranks are completely stripped and won't open or close.

    I purchased these because I thought they were the best out there. When I went to their store in Roseville, MN they put me on the phone with one of their service managers. After I threatened to call the Attorney General he agreed to give me the weather stripping and window cranks but I have to install them myself. The lady at the front counter was rude and arrogant and smelled like she had been smoking cigarettes all day. I would not recommend these windows or this company to anyone and will tell all of my neighbors and 1000 plus Facebook friends not to buy their windows.

    Oh boy... wish I had read the previous reviews prior to getting involved with Renewal by Andersen!!! I have been very interested in purchasing new replacement windows for my home for a very long time. My home was rebuilt in 2000 because my home of 35 yrs. was destroyed in the May 3, 1999 F5 tornado. The builder installed vinyl windows throughout my home. 3 to 4 yrs. ago all of the windows began failing. They are double paned windows and all of the seals began breaking and allowing condensation to form inside the windows. You cannot get to this area to clean it.

    Additionally, about half of the windows are forming mold on the inside of the glass. I've been seeing the Fibrex windows advertised and was very interested in what the commercials had to say about them. I received a flyer in the mail from Renewal by Andersen advertising a huge sale, so decided to have them come out to obtain more information. The "so-called MANAGER" that came out, in my opinion, is a TOP-NOTCH SHYSTER!!! Lots of fast double-talk. HE did not sell me on the windows as I was already sold on them.

    Now for the issue we are having: He met with me and my husband and informed us that the cost for the windows would be $25,266.00 (yikes). He stated, and I quote, "you are so lucky that I am the one that came to your home because I am a manager and I can offer you a deal that nobody else can offer you"... (He made that statement twice.) He emphatically stated that they would take care of the financing themselves and he offered us a 10 year loan at 1.8%. Our payments were to be $270/month at a fixed rate. So, unfortunately, we jumped on that and signed paperwork.

    HERE'S THE PROBLEM: We received the loan information from "their" bank on 8/24 (deadline to cancel the agreement was only 3 days after signing the agreement, which would have been on 8/23 - how convenient for them!). The bank information states that the windows are indeed $25,266 but... the interest on the loan is not the 1.8% this so-called manager stated but rather 6.99%!!! So this brings the total cost of the windows to a great big whopping $37,665.37!!!

    I almost fainted when I read that!!! My husband attempted to call this so-called manager. Line was busy. Husband called back, got an answering machine. Husband left a message for a return call to us. Never got it. Husband called the bank/finance company and got nowhere. They needed an "account number" to look up the information, but there is no account number on any of our paperwork. Husband called the office of Renewal by Andersen, and the "manager" was not in. Nor did they know when to expect him. Husband told the man on the phone what the problem was, and the man on the other end of the phone stated "there's no way we could offer a 1.8% interest rate!!!"

    So, bright and early this coming Monday morning (this is Saturday night) my husband and I are going to personally drive to this Renewal by Andersen office to try and get this mess straightened out. Luckily we have not signed anything that shows this 6.99% interest rate. AND... after reading the reviews about this company, I just want out of this mess.

    My husband and I are both retired and we also both have part-time jobs to help make ends meet. There is no way we would have signed up for this type of cost to us. The interest rate alone is a total of $12,399.37!!! One would have to be a fool to agree to something this outrageous!!! I will follow up with another review after we meet with them on Monday morning. At this point in time, my advice to anyone reading these reviews is to RUN, DON'T. WALK FROM ANDERSEN AS fast as you can!!!

    We paid for window replacements in December, 2016 and had our windows replaced in January. The windows seemed good enough but not a single window screen fit the new windows. The installers noted this and took the window screens back with them in January. Thus began a tale of incompetence which is hard to believe. On three occasions, representatives from the Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania branch came out to "measure" the windows. After the first visit, we waited an intolerable 6 - 8 weeks for the modified screens to be delivered. Incredibly, not one screen fit when the representative came out to install them and one questions whether they did anything to rebuild the screens! Before he left the technician supposedly "measured" the windows and again took them back to the company.

    After waiting another 6 - 8 weeks another installer came out with the "rebuilt" screens and remarkably not one screen fit. This installer seemingly took accurate measurements and again requested that the screens be modified for the new measurements. The screens were to be delivered some 6 weeks later only they were incredibly "left off" the delivery truck thus delaying delivery by another period of weeks. For an organization of this size, it is unheard of that such incompetence should exist. I would never recommend Renewal By Andersen to any acquaintance of mine and their policy of handling all problems from installation to service is completely fallacious.

    We had a poor experience with Renewal by Andersen - actually, we continue to deal with it since their project is not yet complete, even after one month since install. Overall, the casement windows from the inside out look good, though they have to return for minor cosmetic touch ups, which they have agreed to do but with no date agreed upon yet. Our real problem is with the outside appearance. The install team removed the existing J-track but did not replace. This left an unsightly dark stain around the top of the window. The Renewal by Andersen team have come out 3 times to verify our concerns but each time they leave after stating that J-track was not part of the install. If it was, we should have asked. Though we never heard of a J-track until after the project.

    Since Renewal by Andersen is not backing their project, we will have to hire a local contractor to complete the project. Amazing that we invested significant $s because we trusted the Renewal by Andersen experience only to be stiffed in the end and forced to go out and seek another contractor to finish the project. Recommend that you don't use Renewal by Andersen. You are better off going to Home Depot and purchasing similar quality windows and hiring a local contractor that stands by his/her work.

    I purchased RBA 7 windows and three doors in January and was told it would be 6-8 weeks for delivery and installation. I was called several times to update the delivery and installation availability. We finally settled on March 25 to install 2 very large picture windows, side double-hung for each, a French door, a back entry door, front entry door and kitchen window. All in all--roughly $32,000. I went with RBA because they "said" they had their own installers, and the discounts were hefty. They would have to tear out the old casings on everything and reconstruct new casings and sills, etc. It would be a hefty job.

    They arrived the week prior to remove the old french door and enclose the opening (there was rot in the sills from the old door leaking and RBA built a wonderful base, frame, etc. for the new door). They were quick and efficient and cleaned up beautifully. The next week they came on time to rip out the old casings and windows and doors and began rebuilding and installing the new windows, doors and casing and trim work. They started around 8 am and by 3 pm with 5 guys, they were down to just the picture windows/double-hung, and the front door. The kitchen window, the french door and the backdoor were exquisitely installed and trimmed--just beautiful. But I could tell they were rushing to get the job done on the rest of the windows and doors. The front door did not lock properly and they "locked it so that no one could enter until their installation manager could take a look at it" the next week.

    Honestly, from that point on, I knew I was in for a long haul with their customer service reps, installer contacts, and order reps. It turned out that the door was installed incorrectly. They had to bring out the door sales rep (the door is not at RBA product, although they sell it), and I was "assured" that I would not have to be the go-between to get this door installed and functioning ($5000 entry door). It took four trips to get the door functioning.

    Let me tell you about the picture windows and the double-hung... it is now May 31 and they are still not installed fully and correctly. The factory is so busy because RBA oversold their product during the last 6 months, that the factory cannot keep up with the delivery and the quality demands of their product. The grills on the picture windows (prairie-style) do not fit and are not attached properly by the installers (who confess they don't look at the quality of their product, they just install). The lower sashes on the double-hung are crooked and the grilles are also misaligned. RBA has taken a long time to get new sashes and when they arrived, none were correct, and one even had a one-inch glob of paint/dirt on the sash--all of it passing the quality inspection at the factory!!

    I am still waiting for the new sashes. It has been 10 days (and a holiday) since they ordered the new ones and I have heard nothing from the company. I had to call the order service rep and when she did not respond to my calls, I called the installation manager. I was told he would find out what is going on--I then received a call from the order rep who said the sashes are still not in and even though there is a "rush" on them, she is not sure when they will be delivered.

    I have also tried to get the name of the president of RBA so I can give him (her?) the complaint (and praise), but the company will not give out that information. I will keep trying. There are so many customer service/installation issues, that I will not EVER use RBA again. Too bad, too. I still have windows on the house to replace and window and door on the garage to replace.

    I contacted Renewal by Andersen for a price quote as I needed a few replacement windows in my home. The salesperson arrived on time, was friendly and professional. But after his sales pitch of the windows another sales pitch came that left me feeling very uncomfortable. It was regarding how the windows would be paid for as his sales pitch was this great offer of 0 percent finance if the windows were paid off within a year of the signed contract. I am old enough to know nothing is free and if it sounds too good to be true it probably is. As I did a bit of checking on this offer so my salesperson was correct in the fact it was 0 percent loan if paid off within a year but miss the payoff by even one day your interest payment will skyrocket to 23 percent interest. While this may seem simple just by making the payoff on time there are a few snags that may undermine your credit.

    This type of loan stands as credit owed until paid off and could limit a person on any additional loans they may require within the one year period of free financing. Renewal by Andersen pays GreenSky Credit a transaction fee for instant credit which you guessed it gets passed along to you in the form of a higher cost of your window replacement. GreenSky Credit is just a broker bringing bank financing to merchants so they are able to make a sale at your home immediately as once your sales rep is done with his pitch they make it a point to make the sale before leaving knowing it increases the odds of getting the job. GreenSky Credit is the biggest winner in this as they make a profit by financing homeowner project for merchants like Renewal by Andersen and then they are paid again by the banks they deal with for bringing in new secured loans so who do you think ends up paying all these costs?

    The answer is the homeowner as even if you pay the 0 percent cost of your windows within a year Renewal by Andersen overcharged to make up for the cost of the transaction fee charges to them by using GreenSky Credit. As a consumer the more middle men you have in any project rack up unnecessary charges as with Renewal by Andersen. They have a middle man in the financing plus since they are only a franchise business they also have a markup on the labor as this is done by many different separate window installation companies. So dealing direct with a smaller window company would give you a much better cost along with more control over your project. While Renewal by Andersen may sell a good quality product the financing side and who makes out is pretty shady and that's how this company lost me as a potential customer.

    Salesmen Tony and Francis showed up at my house and blabbered for the next 90 minutes. Despite my telling them that I wasn't interested in financing or having additional windows measured for replacement - They pressed. They sent no less than 3 incorrect/incomplete contracts. When we refused to sign the poorly written contracts, They pressed. The fast and furious texts/emails became so obnoxious, that I had to block RBA emails and texts. These reps bulldoze clients with high-pressure sales tactics. We got a bid from a local contractor for 40% the cost that RBA had quoted. The moral here - When a salesman says: "We're not here to give you a high pressured sales pitch" - That's EXACTLY where you will find yourself. Avoid this vendor and save yourself the time and stress of greedy salesmen.

    There are very strong pros and cons with working with Renewal by Andersen in Denver, CO. The pros are that the windows are extremely high quality and the installers are outstanding. The cons are that you get what you pay for-- they're not cheap. And, you have to deal with their sales pitch. This company is one of those that comes out to the house and all financially responsible people have to be there. And you have to make a decision before they leave. I HATE that type of sales. BUT our salesperson was very nice and helpful, and we are very happy with the outcome of the beautiful windows. So, my advice to you is to do your research before you make the appointment and be prepared to make a decision. The quality of both the windows and the installer's workmanship was well worth the price.

    When Chris (salesman) showed up, to begin with he was late. We asked for a estimate/quote. He sat down at the table. Told me each window was going to be $1700. Never gave me any other options, never measured any window or length of our home for siding. Not once did he show me a picture let alone let me look at a brochure. I finally got brochure as he was leaving and I asked for it. When this appt. was made their company knew my husband could not attend the meeting, they seemed to have no problem with it, after all they sent salesman out. During our conversation he asked me if I was up to signing a multimillion $ contract with my husband not being here. I said "No, most married couples don't make that big of a decision without talking to each other." I called my husband and he talked to the man. Once again Chris asked my husband if he was willing to allow me to sign a multimillion $ contract. He said "No."

    Chris said they like both spouses to be home when they come out. At the end as he was leaving I explained my husband is very knowledgeable and when they come back out on a Sunday when we was both available my husband likes to get to the point and not waste time. The salesman said "you need to remind him we are driving 2 hours to your house and on a Sunday"... The more I thought about it, I can't do business with a company like this. Plus they don't sell windows with shades built in them. The only siding they sell is steel. Not my cup of tea. Anyone else that goes thru this company I wish them the best of luck. I am sure there are other salesmen that work there that are a lot better at their jobs.

    We went into this with no expectations and an open mind. The thought that a sales person/consultant will be coming into our home to perform a routine sales act to gain commission was the first judgement mistake we made. This was far from that... The Consultant (Michael **) was prompt, well mannered, very detailed, extremely knowledgeable of the materials used on the windows, the manufacturing plants, along with the complete history of Andersen Windows as a whole...

    Some may think that too much information is unnecessary, but they are wrong... Questions can be automatically answered if you allow the time to hear it from an actual person rather than a youtube video.

    The consultation is a minimum 90 minutes, so I will suggest that you allow this time and more to get a clear understanding of the company you are investing in and allowing into your home. Having window experience as an installer and hearing the steps being taken during an installation was comforting with my family and I, as we have a new addition to our family/home (grandchild) and the demolition during this project was going to be a great concern.

    Whether we were going forward with the final installation or not, I would definitely recommend anyone that needs a window/door improvement project to have a consultation with Andersen Windows. Quality material along with Number 1 customer service is the reward you will receive with Andersen Windows and my family and I greatly appreciate the time and efforts taken by the entire Andersen Team.

    We were very unhappy with installs on our sliding door. First install was done in April 2016. The first installer put the door together wrong and left it. Which I called Andersen right after the installer was finished and made a complaint. They had one of their inspectors come down and said "you will have to wait for a new door to be made." That will take up to 8 weeks. In June they came to install the second sliding door, everything looked good. Till two days later the main sliding door came off its track. This does not usually happen.

    The inspector came again. This time they said will order new heavier rollers, which they're coming to install July 28. Hopefully this will be the last time they have to come back. The installer owner came by to see the problem on the first install, told us he would try to get some money back. Which they didn't. It is very sad how they can claim to have their own installers but use outside contractors to do their installs. The first installer was from far Rockaway and they put a magnetic sign over it to say Andersen. I know this is how most companies work, but it's a real shame!!!

    Please save yourself the headache & the expense of a ridiculously overpriced, inferior product. Our experience with Renewal by Andersen was a disaster. We thought that we would be getting a great installation & a superior product that could withstand the direct sun & heat our home experiences due to a full Southern exposure.

    We ordered the darkest window they offer, to prevent fading of furniture from the sun. Someone on their team "decided" we needed the less dark window, without bothering to contact us. So they sent the wrong windows. It took us 3 months to get them to acknowledge & correct their error. They broke one window THREE time before getting it installed correctly. Another window shattered within 2 days of the installation.

    Here we are less than 6 months from the installation and the large living room window is sagging at the bottom & the caulk around the window is cracking. We had the installer come back and he said "the Fibrex material can't take the heat of this Southern exposure. We'll have to remove the Fibrex and replace it with an aluminum frame."

    During their entire presentation, they kept touting that Fibrex is far superior to the aluminum that other window manufacturers offer. Yet, in less than 6 months, they are offering to "fix" the sagging window by removing the Fibrex frame & replacing it with aluminum. Fortunately, we only ordered a few windows from Andersen, not the entire house. We ordered the rest of the windows from Pella. Night & day improvement with the Pella process! Got exactly the windows we ordered. They were delivered on time & properly installed. Pella was priced better & is a far superior product.

    The Andersen people are super, high pressure sales. They basically won't leave your house until you sign a contract. The entire process with Andersen was a high pressure, over priced, low quality product, poor customer service experience. I would not recommend Andersen to anyone. Ever. I have attached a photo to show where the window has warped. The upper window is Andersen. The lower, perfectly straight, non-warped window is Pella. Both have exactly the same sun exposure.

They came to that conclusion because we said we might move within 5 years. They were telling me that my Pella Windows 8000 series would without a doubt rot within 10 years (reading reviews here it sounds like that's what their windows did). Also they mentioned that Andersen buries their windows in Florida swamps to test their durability. Typical sales tactics. If you want to get sold on windows, give Andersen a shot. If you want to buy a product whose performance simply sells itself look elsewhere.

    I didn't even get passed the appointment 1-800 person before I'd had enough of them to cancel the call. Andersen 1-800 reps are required to go through a lengthy Q&A with new customers that is painful, intrusive, time consuming and unnecessary as all the same information is readily available during the bidding process. The salesman is called a 'design consultant' which is a huge red flag - this company is ready to SELL you.

    Also, getting a 'design consultant' (salesman) to bid REQUIRES both homeowners be present and that a homeowner commit to an hour and half meeting - another red flag but I don't know why. I cancelled the call because Andersen Company's attitude - as if I was fortunate to be able to do business with them as opposed to the other way around. Good riddance - your arrogance is overwhelming. I prefer a service company that wants and appreciates my business.

    We ordered 3 new renewal by Andersen Windows right after the home show here so we could get 15% off because we were told Andersen never does sales. Right after we ordered our windows they came out with the sale of 20% off everything, windows, patio doors and installation so we felt cheated that way. Then we couldn't get the 1 year free interest because their lender wouldn't approve our loan as we only had a credit rating of 817 according to a letter received from the lender. Then we were told they were 95% efficient and according to our utility even though they are energy star rated the SHGC rating is not high enough.

    Do not buy these windows. The sales people do not tell the truth and we are out several thousand dollars because we believed Andersen to be a good brand. Never again. The only thing they told correctly was that the installation crew was good and would clean up their mess. We don't have an order number to put on this as never received one and also never were given the cost breakdown of what each window cost. And also how much installation was. We have figured out the cost of installation pretty much by subtracting what they say is the price we might be able to use for Federal Energy Rebate. However with no rebate allowed locally because they don't meet the standards. I doubt if they meet Federal standards. Just one more lie.
