Experience with Renewal by Andersen windows?
Comments (63)I'm going to say something on this very old post. I hope everyone is happy with the choices they made on their windows and doors. So are we. We replaced all 17 windows in our house late 2022 with Renewal by Andersen (some single casements, some double and triple sliding windows) and are ecstatic with the results. Comments about trying to find windows, find a contractor (our always reliable fantastic contractor that we've used for years said no to doing the project due to the size and complexity of the windows), etc. are true. Was RBA expensive? Yes, chokingly so! BUT....the team that did the measurements, and the installation, were superb, and we could not recommend them more highly. One stop shopping as they say, We would go with them again in a heartbeat....See MoreWill marvin infinity windows look ok next to Andersen renewal?
Comments (12)@Kathleen, if you could post a picture of the home and note the locations it would be helpful. I agree with the sentiment that uniformity is best (both product and install type), however replacing all of the windows in your home just to match one that you no longer prefer doesn't make a ton of sense either... There are ways to minimize differences in appearance from the exterior, but it also depends if these are right next to each other (or across the wall), size differences, etc. @Ron, you had the full frame of your old window removed and replaced with a new window of the same size, but without a nail fin and the subsequent flashing/sealing practices that are normally associated with a new construction/full frame installation. This is not preferred by most, however its also not without precedent and is generally accepted. I believe that Pella in particular refers to it as their "express" installation. Basically they took a window designed for replacement (3 1/4" frame depth and no nail fin) and installed to replace the full frame. There is a lot of gray area between the basic terms "pocket" and "full frame", and this falls within that. Closer to a full frame by definition, but again, without some of the added layers that are most often implied with that verbiage....See MoreLindsay pinnacle or renewal by Andersen windows ?
Comments (6)You picked 2 windows that typically don’t get compared and I would Not choose either one in respective categories. RBA is overpriced and Lindsay is an average vinyl window and not the best in customer service and horrible lead times even before covid hit. If your house is the type that a vinyl window wood work Id go that route and picket the change. There is a reason builders use cheap vinyl windows predominantly unless they are doing High end builds....See MoreWhat do you think of Andersen Renewal windows & doors?
Comments (19)In 2020 we purchased Andersen Renewal windows for 2 large double hung in the front of our house and a big 3 window large picture window. Loved it. The cost $9k Covid has stopped us from completing all the other windows. We just had a Rep give us his estimate for double hung 9 and it's over $20k. That was with a discount, it was $26k with no discount. We almost fainted. Is there something happening in the window world that we are not aware of? Naturally, at our ages, we won't be buying Renewal by Andersen. Now we have to search for replacement windows that are quality. Does that exist? There is so much negativity about vinyl and owners are getting rid of them in my neck of the woods. Right now, it feels like we will be looking for a needle in the haystack. Our budget was $15k and boy, were we naive or the prices at Renewal have been increased. It ues to be the double hung were $1500 each. But now they're closer to $3k....See MoreMiranda33
