How it works

Request a free in-home consultation where a design consultant measures your windows and discusses options for styles, materials, and energy efficiency. Windows are custom-manufactured to your exact specifications using Andersen's Fibrex composite material. A certified installation crew handles the replacement, typically completing most projects in one day. The company manages everything from start to finish.

Why it stands out

The main advantage is the end-to-end service backed by one of the oldest names in the window industry. Andersen Corporation has been manufacturing windows since 1903, and Renewal by Andersen exists specifically for the replacement market. The Fibrex material is a genuine differentiator - it is stronger than vinyl, more energy-efficient than aluminum, and does not require painting.

Having a single company handle measurement, manufacturing, and installation reduces the coordination headaches of hiring separate contractors. Everything is under one warranty.

Who is it for

Renewal by Andersen is a fit for homeowners who want a premium, hassle-free window replacement experience and are willing to pay more for quality materials, professional installation, and a single-company warranty. It is especially appealing to homeowners planning to stay in their home long-term and those who prioritize energy efficiency and low maintenance.

The bottom line

Renewal by Andersen is not the budget option for window replacement, and the in-home sales process can feel intense. But the product quality, Fibrex material, and end-to-end service are genuinely strong. For homeowners who want the job done right by a company with over a century of window manufacturing behind it, Renewal by Andersen delivers on that promise.
