The Good

  • Simple Process
  • Window Shopping App
  • TruScene Insect Screens

Simple Process

Consumers will find that Renewal by Andersen keeps things simple with its process:

  • Design consultation — Customers can choose from an in-home or no-contact virtual meeting. During this meeting, homeowners can discuss their current needs and style preferences and bring up any concerns. 
  • Measure and manufacture new windows — A project technician will verify that everything lines up and answer any last-minute questions. 
  • Window installation — The company will send a team of professionals to begin installing the windows. The company ensures customer homes are treated with respect and promises that the team will clean up after they are done. 

Renewal by Andersen offers a reasonably extensive limited warranty that protects consumers if the windows don’t function properly. 

Window Shopping App

One of the biggest questions homeowners have when it comes to new windows is, “Will it look good in my home?” 

To help answer this question, Renewal by Andersen makes it simple to test out all the different product lines, styles, and options. 

Via a mobile phone or tablet, homeowners can easily design a window with Renewal by Andersen’s augmented reality tool. Consumers choose the exterior, interior, and hardware color they prefer and a grille pattern. Once you have designed your ideal window, you can easily use the AR tool and view it in your home. This should help give consumers a good idea of what their new windows will look like once installed. 

TruScene Insect Screens

TruScene Insect Screens by Andersen is made from a micro-fine stainless steel mesh about a third of the diameter of standard screen wire. This screen efficiently keeps bugs out while leaving your view unobstructed. 

Renewal by Andersen boasts that this screen offers 50 percent more clarity than its standard insect screens. Or, in simpler terms, it’s nearly invisible.

The Bad

  • Undisclosed Pricing 

Undisclosed Pricing 

Renewal by Andersen doesn’t disclose window pricing information on its website. To receive information on pricing for the products and services you want to purchase, you need to schedule an appointment for a free consultation. The consultant will give you an estimate of the charges you might face when using Renewal by Andersen.

Several consumers mentioned pricing in their reviews. The overall consensus seemed that Renewal by Andersen was average with pricing. Consumers felt that the windows were of excellent quality and even saved them money on their utility bills, but it wasn’t the cheapest option on the market.

The Bottom Line

Renewal by Andersen is an experienced window and door installation company that focuses on quality, innovation, and superior craftsmanship. The company works with homeowners to help them design their dream windows and even allows consumers to use technology to view the windows on their house virtually.

There are a variety of products to choose from, so consumers should be able to find something that suits their style and lifestyle. Pricing will vary for each customer, but from reviews, it seems that Renewal by Andersen is reasonably priced.

The Rep that came out initially, Edwin, was professional, trustworthy and really was trying to help us without financially burdening us. The crew that did the install were professional and thorough. All the follow up after installation was handled exactly as Edwin said it would. Great job AND the product looks amazing!

Unfortunately I have been trying to get Anderson to fix windows installed badly for 3 years. Their own representatives come out and cringe at the bad quality and yet the problems only get worse. I wanted to love my windows especially at 50k!

My windows were old and let in a cool draft in the winter time and so I called Ansdesen for an estimate to see about replacing the windows in my ranch style 1950-built home. They were very prompt in the estimate and gave me a fair price with an estimate of the savings I would have over heating costs and also cooling costs in the summer. In less than 30 days my windows were replaced and my electric bill has gone down significantly since having it done. I was mostly surprised that my cooling costs in the summer were lowered as much as they were as I would not have expected the results to be comparable to Winter months.. The Installation only took 3 days And the new windows are triple paint and look great. And as time goes by I'm not only more energy efficient but the 8 windows will pay for themselves in time.

We chose Anderson windows and doors in our lake house because they have a great reputation for high quality. They are double paned and they do not let a lot of energy in or out saving us money in heating or cooling our house. They are easy to clean and look very clear and so pretty. They are something that we will not have to replace for a very long time.

I have build 3 homes in the past 15 years and while in design and construction I decided to use Andersen Windows. They are good looking and love the way they perform. They make your home look great and provide proper air flow and operate with ease of use. When build a new home or upgrading your windows in your current home I highly recommend these products.

Met them at the zoo and filled out for their free window contest, I didn’t win but they called me later to see if I was interested in buying new windows. Their sales team is very friendly and will answer all your questions. I like how they make sure you need to actually replace your windows instead of trying to sell you something you don’t need. They are a good company that follows up with you to make sure you have everything you need.

Recently the lawn mower plugged a rock through the front window of the house. We have double-pane glass windows and fortunately, the rock went through one pane, not both. I called around. I contacted Renewal by Andersen of Central Virginia. They had an agent contact me about a free estimate on a replacement pane. Some places wanted to replace the entire window. That is costly and unnecessary. They can measure the glass, special order a cut piece, and bring it out to the residence for installation. Time and cost savings.

We had bought a foreclosed home and the windows were "new' as in less than 10 years old but on windy day we could hear and feel air coming through the sealed windows so we requested quotes and Renewal by Andersen provided us with a fair estimate. They were able to schedule us within a few weeks and completed the job in a timely manner with professionalism and quality. I would highly recommend them.

The product is amazing, even making custom-sized window for my bathroom to replace the glass blocks that were there. Any issue I had (buzzing insect that got inside the edging on one window) like my back door squeaking, they were right out to fix the problem and inspect all windows to see if anything else was needed. Their warranty is fantastic and they did the install of 6 windows in 1 day.

Several years ago, my husband and I noticed that the wooden frames of the large screens on our screened porch were beginning to rot and fall apart. The screens also let dust and rain into the porch which made a muddy mess during bad storms. We knew we had to do something and soon. Since we had always heard good things about Andersen windows, we called Renewal by Anderson. A rep came out to assess the situation. He showed us a sample of the type of Andersen window with sun-blocking screens that would be best for our porch. He explained that some of the rotting frames would have to be rebuilt so each new window would fit properly. We agreed to purchase ten new windows to replace the old screens. An Andersen employee came to our home a few days later to measure each of the ten existing screens and their wood frames. The employee, who carefully measured each screen and frame at least twice, told us that none of the screens or frames on our porch were the same size. He said the new Andersen windows would be made individually to fit each existing frame exactly. Several weeks went by. We received a call that our windows were ready. It was exciting to see the transformation of our porch after the frames had been replaced/repaired and the new windows had been installed. Absolutely beautiful! No more muddy, wet porch! The new porch windows match the other windows in our house perfectly. We were delighted that the new windows have tilt features to make them easy to clean. We definitely will call Andersen for any window replacements needed in the future. Renewal by Andersen is a trustworthy company that delivers what it promises.

I had a window and also a sliding glass door replaced a few years ago and we went with Anderson because of the good reputation. So far both are holding up and functioning perfectly. No condensation in between the glass, like we had with the old ones and they open and close like a dream. Will definitely use them again. The only negative about the company are the door-to-door salespeople who are very pushy and always arrive at exactly the wrong time.

I have over 16 windows in my 2 story house and wanted to get an honest and fair estimate about how much it would take and which windows were right for my particular façade. Andersen Windows was my go to guy, they were both clear and straightforward. All the charges and even installation charge were told to me upfront. I knew what I was getting and for how much...to avoid conflict in the future with such a large job. No nonsense quality work!!

We had 37 windows installed by Renewal by Andersen about 2-years ago. The entire process was good. The sales person was professional and knowledgeable. The installers were professional, knowledgeable and worked fast. The only issue I have with Renewal by Andersen is that customer service isn't all it needs to be. Whenever I've call to ask a simple question about the window, it a takes customer service staff months to return my call.

Anderson windows were very expensive, however the quality and customer service made it worthwhile. We have odd shaped windows and this company was able to cater to the shape.

Well they responded quickly and listened to what i needed, and because its so hot l went with a better windows. Not only do they look great they keep the heat outside! They are so affordable i'm replacing the rest of my windows, the savings show on my electric bill!

Andersen Windows I feel doesn’t get the recognition that it deserves enough. The only reason I knew they existed is from a family friend working there. When we decided to update the windows in our house we picked Andersen Windows righht from the start. They came and measured and gave us an estimate that was lower than we expected. The quality of service is 100 perfect.

I like Anderson windows and I have for a long time... I had a little cabin in the woods way back and the first time I started to renovate it was new windows... back then it just came down to money I thought they were all the same, but I was so wrong during the first winter and I could feel the cold frigid air blowing threw them... so I went back and bought two and the changes made such a big difference that first snow storm and I've been with Anderson windows for the last thirty years...

Simply the best in the business. Their no pressure sales rep came to my home on time and showed me all of my options. The quality of their product coupled with the best warranty equals an investment in my home that will increase its value. The technicians who did the install (in record time) didn't leave a trace of the work that went on. I'm very happy with my purchase and believe I will be years into the future!!

Renewal by Anderson is an absolute rip-off! Their prices are astronomically off the charts! We sat down with the sales person for hours and when we reached the final costs for our home it was over $80,000. Buy your windows elsewhere unless your fifty rich I suppose. Not to mention they are typical pushy salespeople. Buyer beware!!!

Stay away from this company! We paid for every window and door in our home to be replaced. They messed up our order after waiting for months. We had screens rip in the first month and they only replaced one. They stopped taking our calls. We still have ripped screens. A crooked AF NOT LINING UP expensive glass back door. The doors were never sealed properly so guess who gets a ton of brown recluses from under the door. Me!I literally have 2 children that play on the floor. Our doors don't even fully shut. For the price we paid, the doors should SHUT and lock just fine. But they wouldn't know that since they don't take our calls and return them. They got their money and ran.

When we bought our last house, it was a short sale and there was a broken window in the kitchen. We knew we needed to replace it and had the installer use a Andersen window because we knew we wanted the best for our home. We have loved it and haven't had any issues with it.

The windows look good, but they fog up inside and are no better than Lowes windows which are much less expensive. They are not worthy of the Andersen name, or what Andersen used to stand for anyway. Chase that quality and price to the basement.

Took 8months to get the windows and had numerous issues with locking and insulation. They sent out a service guy Martin who was rude and basically told me I don't install windows so my opinion is worthless. Ive never had a service person be so loud and unprofessional. I reached out to the office to follow up and they said my ticket was closed. I can't believe I got convinced into spending this kind of money for such a poor experience. Get some employees that care if you want to charge 2x the competition. I had Marvin windows put in my family room a year ago with no issues. They pre-finished the trim for those, Andersen sent out a painter to do it onsite. Just another 2 week wait with no blinds until he arrives. I would not recommend. Based on my experience with Marvin I believe this company does not deliver on their promises. My entire home remodel has been prolonged 6 MONTHS waiting for Andersen. The kitchen was to be finished and we are just resuming work now. Buyer be aware
