Why Now Is A Great Time To Replace Your Windows And Doors – Patch.com

"Only the rich can afford poor windows," says Joe Koken, general manager of Renewal by Andersen of Arizona. Koken was quoting Hans Andersen, founder of Andersen Windows in 1903. Renewal by Andersen is the full-service replacement window division of Andersen Windows, and this month it's celebrating its 25th anniversary with the biggest discount ever offered to new customers.

"You can replace your windows and doors once with a highly engineered product and likely never have to do it again, or you can replace them several times with a low-end product and end up paying more in the long run," Koken says.

The quality of the Renewal by Andersen window starts with its Fibrex composite material.

"There is a misconception that vinyl is a good choice for windows, but we won't even sell a vinyl window," Koken says. "Our exclusive window material, called Fibrex, is a composite that's two times stronger than vinyl."

Andersen researched and developed its Fibrex material for 30 years before it was installed in even one home. Fibrex is a wood-and-polymer composite that expands and contracts very little and is warranted not to warp, peel or corrode.*

"Fibrex has the strength, durability and beauty of wood windows combined with the low maintenance aspects of vinyl," Koken says.*

When choosing a replacement window or door company, there are five questions you should ask:

1. What does the warranty cover and how long does it last?

Many replacement window companies will warrant their windows and doors but not their installations. And a lot of them claim to have a "lifetime" warranty but in the fine print, "lifetime" can be defined as just seven years.

Renewal by Andersen has one rock-solid triple warranty that covers its windows, doors and installation. If you have any issues that come up, you won't be chasing down the manufacturer and the installer you just have to make one call.

2. What are the windows made of, and can they withstand the weather where you live?

Many vinyl replacement windows can warp, leak and cause drafts in just a few years. Renewal by Andersen's Fibrex material is vastly superior to vinyl. It's two times stronger than vinyl and infinitely more beautiful.

3. How will the company's windows or doors make your home more comfortable?

Many replacement windows will make your home more comfortable at first, but when their seals break and their energy efficiency is lost, you could be back to feeling too hot or cold in no time. Renewal by Andersen's High-Performance Low E-4 SmartSun glass helps to make homes more comfortable in every season.

4. How do you know if you're getting a good price?

If the price on a vinyl window is so low that it seems too good to be true, it probably is. In addition, if you have to replace those vinyl windows in 7-10 years, then they weren't worth it, no matter how inexpensive they were. Renewal by Andersen builds a window that will last. Nobody wants to replace their windows more than once.

5. How much will the windows or doors cost?

Many replacement window companies will give you a window estimate, but then the final bill ends up being more than the original quote. As part of its free in-home or virtual appointment, Renewal by Andersen provides an exact, down-to-the-penny price quote often within 48 hours of your call, and the quote is good for a whole year.

Renewal by Andersen is committed to keeping customers happy and safe. As Koken says, "The health and safety of our customers and our staff is our highest priority. We're adhering to the CDC's strict guidelines including wearing protective gloves and masks, maintaining a respectful distance inside your home, and frequently sanitizing our trucks and tools.

"And if you're not comfortable having us in your home at this time, we now offer virtual appointments, too," Koken adds. "From the comfort and safety of your home, you can have an online meeting with one of our project managers to discuss your window and door needs and get an exact price quote that we'll honor for a whole year.

"We also understand that this is a challenging time for some homeowners, and we want to do what we can to help them get their project done," Koken says. "So, we're having a special 'Thank You for 25 Years Sale.' Now until May 31, we're taking 25 percent off of all our windows and doors. And with our special financing, you won't pay anything for 25 months."
