The tilt latch mechanism on these windows is remarkable. Andersen uses plastic clips to release the sash. This allows for easy cleaning, which is a very convenient design feature. The windows still have that traditional look, but can also tilt and operate efficiently. The series also comes with 4 standard glass options as well as multiple specialty and decorative glass options.
You also get a lot of accessories choices, including: matching gliding patio and hinged patio doors, multiple screen options and grille styles, profiles and sizes. There are also three screen options and Wireless VeriLock security sensors for double-hung windows integrate with smart home systems. Renewal by Andersen is a window replacement subsidiary of Andersen.
They offer a full service, meaning a representative comes to your house for a consultation. Renewal by Andersen windows are made of Fibrex and are entirely customizable. And the key feature is the more modern look that they give to every house.
That said, these are some of the most expensive replacement windows on the market. And since you actually get the windows from a franchised distributor, prices can vary a lot.
Moreover, there are numerous complaints from customers directed at the dealers selling these windows. But if you find a decent dealer, have money to spend, and appreciate the looks much more than efficiency, then opt for Renewal by Andersen windows. But how can you find that out? All Andersen products, windows included, have the logo etched in the glass. This small detail helps you recognize even the older Andersen windows.
Andersen has been a leading window manufacturing for over a century. They offer awning windows, casement windows, single and double-hung windows, and many more. This means they continuously try to protect the environment and manufacture products that reduce emissions. Both Pella and Andersen are by far the biggest window brands and most fierce competitors in the residential market.
Usually, homeowners have a hard choice to make when deciding between these two window brands. Lets take a closer look to see which brand wins. Since both brands have their own advantages and disadvantages, deciding between them can be tough. Andersen and Marvin windows have a number of colors available, both for interior and exterior parts. When it comes to Andersen, finish colors depend on the window material.
For example, aluminum Clad windows from E Series have more than 50 options. This means you can get unique colors that go with the interior and exterior of your house.
The Series windows have 11 color options, Series seven, and series six. Whilst the series windows have just two choices. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. The irony is that the Andersen frame is made of the exact same material as the Renewal window, both Andersen Fibrex , which is a composite mix of vinyl and wood.
If you are stuck on a composite frame, there are not many options your way. I would honestly consider a high quality vinyl as a good option considering the lack of composite frames on the market. When you really look at the performance data, composite can't actually holf a torch to high end vinyl windows.
Except for the Okna Starmark. The numbers on the RBA pale in comparison to say the Okna which is not available in your area, so that doesn't really help you out I will look at the 5 Star quote tool.
Are there any particular reasons you would not recommend either Pella or Renewal by Andersen for Houston area? Pella's vinyl windows are not all that good, although they are a lot better than what they used to be. Over priced as well because you are getting the Pella name and paying for all that marketing.
Basically, it can't be beat and it's at a fraction of what you will spend for the RBA. Soft-lite Elements I live in the Philadelphia metro area and am replacing one slider and 8 double hung windows. We have two quotes thus far. I'm in Phoenix AZ and I'm looking to replace 7 windows and two sliding doors. I signed a contract that can be cancelled within 3 days with RBA.
My biggest concerns is that the majority of my windows are on the very hot west side of my house. I have heard horror stories of vinyl and wood windows here. Below is what I'm contracted for. I'd love your recommendation on window and door materials for dry, hot climates.
That's more or less highway robbery in my opinion. I would cancel the order -- at least until you get a better sense of what is out there. Wood clad windows will have issues down the road in the Phoenix heat. Good vinyl windows should hold up quite well.
Poor quality vinyl windows can have issues as well, especially the vinyl windows of the past. Here are my recommendations: a bid from an Anlin dealer, an Amerimax dealer, a Don Young dealer , a Simonton dealer only on their best vinyl series , and perhaps a Milgard dealer.
I'm actually not certain Don Young has a dealer in Phoenix, but they should -- their aluminum window is a very good option in really hot conditions. I have a lot of windows in my home and am looking at a phased project. I have sticker shock. Why is it an opening???? This will be a consideration if it takes years to do the entire house. Alice - Homeowner - from [Site Editor's Answer] Hi Alice, so those are very high bids, although I will say that COVID demand has really tweaked prices as of late mostly because these companies have so much business that they can charge an arm and a leg.
Having said that, I'm still seeing very reasonable bids as well. Pella fiberglass and RBA are both way overpriced in my opinion.
The bids are free and you can send them to me and I'm more than happy to provide you with my take on any cost quotes you receive. I'm not incentivized by any companies so I'm happy to provide you with unbiased advice on your best option s. In addition, here is my good and great windows list. I have three days to rescind this contract and would like your opinion. They are replacing a 60 x 96 inch 3 tier sliding window. The price came out to 4, for one window and I thought it was high but I don't know much about these type of projects.
My coworker told me to cancel my contract and find someone else but I don't want to upset the guy as he was so nice to me when he came over. Do you think this is overpriced? Yes, I would personally rescind the contract and continue my search. I'm sure the RBA salesperson was nice, but it doesn't mean that he can charge you what seems to me to be 2x pricing for a job.
Renewal makes a nice product, but their prices are much too expensive for the quality of product. Here is my good and great list of windows for your consideration. All of these windows are going to beat the Renewal window in terms of energy efficiency, and be much less expensive. We are likely in this house between years, and then plan to sell it.
Based on your site reviews, I wanted to seek some sturdy vinyl window options, but am having trouble figuring out who to approach. HiMark doesn't have a MI dealer they confirmed , and Sunrise won't respond to their online request form or phone message for a dealer contact. Can you please provide some recommendations for sturdy vinyl window brands with dealers in Michigan?
I tried your website's recommendations - and Power Home remodel immediately called me - and wouldn't tell me exactly what windows except that it was a Pella vinyl I could only buy from them!
I am not optimistic we would work with a company that disses the female homeowner! Would greatly appreciate any recommendations you can provide. Sanchari - Homeowner - from [Site Editor's Answer] Sanchari, here are my good and great vinyl windows lists.
I would start here. The Power Home Remodel sounds like a bust to me. HiMark sells their own windows, which are actually Okna, and are very good. They don't see an MI window, which are not a quality window manufacturer for the most part. Maybe you could find the Sunrise dealer directly in your area see the last paragraph. Sunrise makes an excellent window. I live in NE Florida and will be replacing 20 windows and two sliding glass doors, both of them large.
I just had someone from Anderson come out and give me a quote on 9 windows. I have no bay windows just the average: 2, 23x The price was 23, and then it went down to 18, My question is is this over priced? Thank you I have until midnight Monday to change my mind.
Serreita - Homeowner - from [Site Editor's Answer] Serreita, yes that is way too expensive for 9 windows. Definitely change your mind and spend some time searching around for a better deal. I'm going to send you my advice list that includes some options to look at. I did cancel my contact with Anderson, 18, is a lot of money for me. I did get another bit from Community Builders they had a better price and I think was good windows.
Thank you for your help. Have a great day! One from Renewal by Anderson at 86K I am not even considering and another from Apex windows for 30k flat. I signed with Apex but I still have a day to rescind my contract. The quote says it's for 43 windows but they are counting several transoms and a couple half circles. No idea if that's standard or a sales tactic. I don't mind paying a fair price but I have no idea what that is in my case. I made my own breakdown of what they are offering but I only got a total price of 30k, so it's hard to base individual window costs.
Green is essential above standard, yellow are things I am getting confirmed. We asked for the better gas on the sun facing side of our home. If you were interested in getting a couple of additional bids, here is my list of good and great windows. The windows are pretty standard double hung using the existing frames in a house built in The cost seems to be about twice what you've referenced as being on the high end. The monthly payments wouldn't be a big stretch for 10 years!
Either way, that is a lot of money to be paying for a window and installation. My advice to you is to continue your search. I'll send you a list of my good and great windows! I have six 6 "single" windows 32"W by 60"H. In addition, we have ten 1 "double wide" windows measuring 64" W by 60" H. The windows are about 22 years old and are wood but have plastic sides clad? All the doors have already been replaced. What would replacing them with Renewal by Andersen cost?
Dale - Homeowner - from [Site Editor's Answer] Dale, I have no idea what the Renewal dealer in your area will charge you for this job. Very expensive in my opinion and not worth the cost. Better and more affordable windows should be available from brands like Okna, Soft-Lite, Sunrise, Polaris, and Kensington. These are the brands I would get bids on. I am replacing wood windows in a house built in and think I have narrowed my search down to the Marvin Infinity windows.
However, the quote I received seems high compared to the general price per window I see on your site. I have attached both quotes. Both are for full frame installs. Would you mind giving me your opinion? Thank you. Do you think that would be too incompatible as far as looks go?
Also is the Marvin Infinity quote in line with what you would expect for that window? This is a picture of the front of the house as it currently looks. The larger round top is fairly prominent and visible.
For me, the Sunrise Restorations is a fantastic window that is definitely as good as the Marvin Infinity. This would be my choice in a heartbeat given the almost double cost of the Marvin.
