Very expensive windows are hard to manipulate up and down framing is extra large on sliders and the handles are a big D which eliminates a lot of the glass in my case there's 5 1/2 to 6 inch windowsills on the inside of the house which looks odd the windows are installed more closer to the outside edge of the window frame versus middle or more inside frame. Definitely an overkill on my part should've taken more time to do more research. They could improve on the functionality and pricing. read more

I would like to say that I was excited to call these folks. Great commercials, great mailings, looks like they offered an incredible deal at the time, good financing options, etc. But when you actually do the homework and you look at the work they do and the prices they charge you feel disgraced and disheartened. These people send off flyers like they're the best people in the world. But when you do a little research,! you realize they have 1.9 stars. Do you know how little you have to care to get 1.9 stars. Google is worthless, you go there and they have 4.8. It's a complete fraud. It's pretty much extortion and villainy. I can't believe that when I looked them up and went to Yelp and saw all the horrible reviews and disgraceful photos of their work. I went out to ChatGPT and said how can a business like this be successful? How could people honestly give them any money or any business or any time of their important day. In AI said that people were stupid. They don't do their homework and they watch TV and open flyers and see it and hire them. I think it's so disgraceful. Just look them up . can you imagine being the CEO of Anderson Windows and saying yeah check me out on Yelp I have a 1.9. Really a 1.9 are you serious? What a pathetic situation we live in America I have a masters from Harvard my business has a 1.9 on Yelp, what a bunch of losers. Every time I go to chipotle, I shit my pants. Why do we as Americans, except the subpar useless garbage. We should be acting like Egypt Egyptian gods only expecting the best and the finest. read more

Do not use this company. They scheduled a new door install for July 3 and followed up with multiple confirmations. They never showed up and when I called to find out what happened I got a recorded message that all offices were closed. Total incompetence!! How can you schedule an install on a day the company is closed?! Would give 0 stars if possible! read more

Do Not Use - Poor Installation, Zero Accountability, and False Promises I am writing this review to warn others about our experience with Renewal by Andersen. We paid a premium price for a bay window, but the level of service and quality we received was unacceptable. During the sales process, we were explicitly told by our sales representative that she would be with us through every step of the process, including the day of installation. Once we signed the papers and the check was cashed, we never heard from her again. We were also misled regarding the company's structure, as their claims of being a "family-owned" business did not align with our experience. The installation itself was unprofessional. Within just three months, we began experiencing issues with the window. It is clear to any objective observer that the seal is damaged and the unit was not installed properly. For over a year, we have been getting the runaround. Every time we call, we are shuffled between different departments, none of which take responsibility for fixing the issue. On the rare occasion they have sent someone to the house, they simply cleaned the glass with Windex and left--completely ignoring the structural defect we reported. They do not stand by their "guarantee," and their customer service is designed to avoid fixing the problems they created. Do yourself a favor and hire a reputable company that actually stands behind their work. Beware of this company--stay away. read more

Great service. Great quality. Very professional sales person and measure technician.

If you want to pay triple ( at least ) for what the job should cost get a substandard product with substandard installation, but be able to finance it for 18 months, your choice. Go right ahead. BIGGEST SCAM GOING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

We had 4 windows replaced by Renewal by Andersen last fall. 3 were good. 1 was horrible. It can only be opened 1/4th of the height. See picture. This one is laminated glass. The sales person said it was much better at reducing the noise to the room so I used it. But it turns out the window sash had to drop 1-2 inches when it was opened to the top. They sent a few technicians to try to fix it, only to install a limited travel balancer to the window. This balancer limits how much I can open the window, yet it still drops 1-2 inches after raising the window sash to the top this balancer defines. Now the window can only be opened for 1/4th of the height. I called and said they should at least warn the future customers. If I had know I could only open the window 1/4th of the window height, I wouldn't choose laminated glass. The Andersen person politely told me the sales is a different organization from the installation org and they had no control on what information the sales provide. read more

Renewal by Andersen of Boston - Windows Installation Near Me - Northborough, Massachusetts

How does Anderson Renewel get enough customers to stay in business? I was taking bids to replace my patio slider and this salesman comes to visit with his fancy briefcase. He measured my slider and gave me a quote of $7,000. I almost fainted, he said oh you can pay it in installments, you would only need to give me $2,000 right now as a deposit. I ended up going with a local company that did it for $2,000. When I see their constant commercials , the people look so fake on them. And on top of that, every single Thursday I get one of their flyers in my newspaper that is being sent out to everyone that has the newspaper delivered. read more

We had a guy come out to quote on replacement windows; big job; about 19 windows. I was at work and my wife handled the appointment. When he arrived, he asked her to call me as if she wasn't able to make decisions on her own. After the whole walk around, we talked on the phone and he asked me "would you buy wood windows?" which i replied "I don't know, maybe?" and he said, "well we don't sell wood windows." I confusingly asked him the point of the question which he replied to educate me. okay, I get it, but if I went to a Toyota dealership and they sold toyotas and started talking to me about Hondas and Nissans to educate me. I would ask for another sales person. This guy (Mike), was a bit rude, and acted like we were poor, and stupid; like we were wasting his time. $60,000 dollars for the 19 windows (and 1 door) by the way; which was an offer that expired when he walked out. We told him we cant make a decision of that much money in a day/a week, and we would explore other options. He then said "I thought you wouldn't buy a wood window" and started ranting about how this is his livelihood. It became an argument. Maybe someone was having a bad day; we all have bad days. It was an experience to say the least and the only education we received was; don't go with Renewal by Anderson. I hope everyone who uses them has a far better experience. read more

These Andersen windows are 100 series. They are selling them at my local Home Depot but only have single (not double) hung windows. I believe this in part because Andersen has had so many complaints about the sashes not lining up properly on the double hung windows once installed. A friend of mine had several double hung windows installed a couple of years ago and had to call the installers back several times to address sash lock and just poor workmanship issues. I've purchased and installed Andersen 400 series double hung windows over the years and have always been satisfied with them. I would definitely not recommend renewal by Andersen services. read more

Not only are their windows FAR overpriced and a complete ripoff, but these sleazebags send around aggressive, pushy sales clowns to try and hawk them. An OBVIOUS sign of a scam. TWICE this evening their thief knocked on my door, after being told to LEAVE, and then had the nerve to leave a sales ticket on my door. I don't think there exists a WORST window company. Any company that has to resort to such methods is an obvious scam read more

1. I was told installation would be in 8 weeks. BUT took 12 weeks. I was not called or alerted to any change. Receiving an email with no explanation after 4 weeks is not being notified properly, in my humble opinion. 2. I chose to have the windows open on a specific side. When they arrived one window was not as promised. I capitulated only because I did not want to wait another 12 or more weeks! If I am told by someone that my purchase will be done a certain way this is a promise. Must every detail be in writing? A company's word should be it's promise. If I were spending $2000 dollars the mistake would be one thing, but I paid over $5000 for 2 windows. read more

I paid $5800 for one window. I didn't realize that this is excessive. The quality is good but now I know that price was outrageous.

Renewal By Anderson installed 3 windows for me . One of the windows leaked within 2 days because of poor installation. RBA did not repair leak or ever finish my Job they abandoned project unfinished with leak. They took $25,000 of a $31,000 project and are now trying to collect money for a job the never completed.

Snake salesman said windows were probably eligible for rebate but he wasn't expert on MA requirements. We are doing taxrs and just discovered you need an energy audit to be eligible.

Outrageous pricing on a fiberlass door $15000.! Quality product but impossible to get pricing on line to avoid waste of time on both ends

Well, I didn't hire them to do any work because their prices were bananas. I needed a basic window for my basement and a backdoor with a blind in the glass. They couldn't do the blind inside the glass. Still, they quoted me $13K for the job. I almost laughed out loud. They said they'd knock 10% off if I signed today. Nope! So, I hired an alternative company to do the basement window. It was $1,000 for a Milgard, install included. I found the door (with blind) I wanted at Home Depot, so I bought it and installed it myself. It was $1,300. Throw in the trim and various materials and I still got it all done for under $2,500. Say what you will about Home Depot doors, but it's sturdy and has the blind inside the glass like I wanted. I'm very happy I did not get ripped off by RBW. read more

Purchased an Andersen sliding glass door. Thoroughly inspected the entire shipping packaging. Absolutely no reason to suspect any damage to the product. So we removed the old door fully expecting to install the new door with no issues. Come to find out the door was damaged. It was obviously damaged before it was packaged and shipped. This level of negligence on the part of Andersen Corporation is unacceptable. While they are replacing the door under warranty, I now have to pay more that the original installation cost due to Andersen's incompetence. I'll never purchase another Andersen product. read more

After waiting weeks for my windows to be ready, the install crew showed up and told me that they could not accomodiate the connection for my alarm system. Both Adrian (the sales person) and Mark (the PM who came out to inspect and remeasure etc) said nothing about this being a problem. It would cost another $3,400 to modify my alarm system to accomodiate these windows. Frankly on top of the almost $40K for 10 windows this was more than I could take. After many calls with Scott the manager and my alarm company, Adrian called to tell me that I am still responsible for the cost of the windows and that they would be taking legal action. Frankly, his nasty comments and behavior caused me to send the team away without any further discussion. This is all very shocking to me because I have several other Anderson replacement windows in my home already. Never had any of these problems before but it was general contractors who installed the windows vs Renewal by Anderson. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY. read more

Nice people, solid windows, but get this, when they install them they don't lock properly. You tell the installation people "these windows don't latch shut properly. I have to force the window to latch them." The answer is always the same, "Let them settle. They'll be fine in a week or two." But you'll be forcing them shut forever-- when they are large windows, they take a great deal of strength to shut and latch properly. Just not worth the money for this aggravation. When I complained, no one was interested in fixing. They simply shrug it off and take your money. I'm stupid--I had almost all of my windows replaced, in small groups, with different work crews, and every time the same thing happened. Don't trust them. read more

we had the windows installed less than 5 years ago. the bay window wood is chipping. The consultant told me it was water damage as I had a plant I. the window. When they came out it was agreed it was not water damage. long story short they were due here today to fix but they call to let us know they received plastic not wood. I'm suspect as they wanted to come in the morning and I told them that would not work so the afternoon was scheduled. then the day before they wanted to move to morning. (second time they tried this). The money we spent to have our windows done we should be treated better. and with the initial install they had to replace some of the cedar and the tech was given plastic siding. I had some siding here so they used it. read more

I just received a promotion in the mail regarding how this company has served over 43,997 cntral homeowners. I wonder how many homes were older than 1978. I also wonder how many homes were tested for LEAD paint hazards, and how many has a LEAD hazard test done upon completion? Change my mind read more

I had my windows done a little over 5 years ago. As far as the people, very professional down to the install. The actual window, not so much. I have had to replace the lock on one of the windows twice. for the amount of money I paid to have them installed this should not be happening. I had 9 more windows to replace and used another company just for this reason. Windows are an investment and the amount of money we spend the locks should not be breaking every couple years. read more

Stay away from this company. While the windows themselves are the best this company is the WORST!! Their installers are sooo bad. They left dozens of nails and screws in my driveway and I got a flat on New Years day. I paid $18,000 for two sliding doors and two very large sliding windows. All four units had to be removed and reinstalled AFTER I had them stained and finished. More than four visits later they still don't operate properly. One of their "expert" people came out to look at the problems. This guy could not figure out that the jambs were not parallel to the door even after I explained it to him. He had no clue!! They assign you a "'concierge". Totally worthless! How the parent company Andersen Windows put up with these people is beyond belief! DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY!!! You have been warned!! read more

Extremely frustrated by their advertising and horrible used car tactics. I was getting 2-4 contacts a week by the local Northern Nevada location and it was buy one and get the second 40% off. I have a modest 1700 sq ft house I wanted to upgrade and put new windows in being the originals were not that very good and 24 years old. I know middle of the road windows should be about $15-18 K. The rep that came out was awesome and then hit me with a $67,000 estimate with all the so called discounts got it down the $53,000. I know the product is good but this is obnoxious, usury and trying to take advantage of people because the demand is so high with construction and real estate, but that doesnt mean robbing people is okay. I was even willing to pay up to double the price because of the quality but coming at me over 4X the cost of a Milgard is just a bad approach. Hey, Andersen, its not a discount if you start from a quadruple cost to still be well over triple the price, what a nasty way to do business and is really taking advantage of people. Even after all of this and me leaving a candid response to their survey they keep sending me mailers, I called and asked to be removed and the lady who answered was borderline condescending and wouldn't listen to anything.. read more

Renewal by Andersen of Boston - Really love how they put the price increase for the following year. Still not signing. - Windows Installation Near Me - Northborough, Massachusetts

THE worst. Great marketing hides their inferiority. I had 8 Anderson casements installed in the early '00's and 6 of the cranks are in various levels of decay, which began maybe 3-5 years after they were installed. Important to note, I rarely use them. Comparing them to my 1950's casements that clearly have high quality cranks, shows the stark quality difference!! read more

0 Stars- they are harassing, horribly priced for a mediocre product, and did I mention annoying? Go with a local company instead.

Total scam! Do not waist you time and energy, let alone hard earned money. Ultra expensive terrible communication and sales tactics.

I wish I had searched for reviews before using Renewal by Anderson. We're from MN, near where the windows are made, and many people use them in MN so we thought they'd be a good company. Well, they're not. We were told the windows would be done one room at a time since the work was done in winter. Not true. They took out ALL the windows at once and we had to turn off our heat so as to not pay for heat to just go out the holes. We were told each room would be completed fully before moving onto the next room. They did the basic install first and only completed one room the first day. We were told they train their own installation crews and don't use outside contractors. Maybe they do, but their crew didn't speak much English so it felt like a random contract crew. How can I ask what's going on when the lead contractor doesn't even understand what I'm saying?! I train employees internationally and deal with language barriers regularly. This was beyond a simple language barrier. I'd have to have spoken Spanish to communicate with the crew. The job felt rushed and we later see it was. They finished at 7pm and since it was December, it's dark and we couldn't see much. They took us around to look at the windows and it looked decent. Then, come morning and we start seeing all the flaws. We even had nails sticking out of the trim, putty/caulking missing on some trim, and overall shoddy work. We have been working to fix the issues with the trim and may have to replace some of it because it's so bad. Some may wonder why we don't call Renewal by Anderson to have them fix the issues, but why would we want people who can't do the work correctly to do more incorrect work? We paid about $23k for our windows and I hate that we did. Going with Renewal by Anderson is one decision I truly regret. If I could back in time, I'd work with someone else. I feel as though I received Home Depot level work at Renewal by Anderson pricing. I feel ripped off. read more

It's been 1 year since the installation began. Even though we have been charged for the entirety of the installation, it is still not complete. They have repeatedly left the job with sub-par quality, I still have the caulk surrounding a front window that looks like it was applied by my 7 year old. This was AFTER they fixed it once before. I wanted triple pane and glazed windows that were offered in the catalog, but the guy who came out to sell me the windows told me they were not available. So we went with what he recommended. Now I have ice on the inside of my windows, and enough condensation to fill my bathtub. My "old" and "cheap" home depot windows that I installed 15 years ago never had this issue. This is after the company had to come back out and reinstall my windows after they installed them backwards and without the flashing that is required by code. The kicker is that I had installed the interior framing on four windows before I realized that they were put in backwards. I didn't figure this out until the next day, when I could open the windows after the caulk and insulating foam had cured. So I had to tear off the framing, which I had caulked and painted the day prior. I had taken 3 days off work to finish these and now I was left with wasted time and materials. Then, another Renewal guy tried to cover the mess up and tell me that the windows were installed correctly and looked better having them go in opposite directions. How does that work with three windows on one side? I asked for them to replace the materials I had used for the interior framing of the windows and was told it wouldn't be a problem. Three weeks went by, and nothing showed up. I had bought new stuff and installed the frames on my own. Nobody wants giant ugly holes on the inside of their house for weeks. When I mentioned the ice and waterfalls in my windows, I was told that my humidity levels were high. However, due to the medical condition of one of the residents, this is strictly monitored with multiple hygrometers. I called into question the calibration of their equipment, what system they used and if they had documentation, but no one at renewal knew what any of that meant. I have more I could go into, but I'll refrain for now. My final position is that I am left with heavy condensation in my brand new windows that build up with ice on the interior of my house for which I will be battling mold for the remainder of their existence. I was credited 1500.00 which covers my first 3 days off work and the materials, so there's that. read more

We called Renewal by Anderson and explained we needed to replace 34 windows. I was asked many questions about the property and answered truthfully. I was told I would get a callback which happened several days later. Again, I repeated the answers to many questions. I received a callback giving me a date and time for their rep to come to us. They said both my husband and I had to be present. We arranged our schedules so we would both be available. In the interim I received several calls asking for clarification on the property. Today our appointment was scheduled for 10 am. I received a call at 8:30 am and was told Anderson does not do replacement windows on properties that are adjacent to the ocean. I asked why we weren't told this during my first question and answer call? The rep couldn't answer. After reading the reviews, we seem to have dodged a lot of problems. read more

The salesman was so attentive and personable. I went with them because of Andersen's reputation for quality. I was told they don't use contractors, but day of the job guess who showed up. They rushed the job! My house has 36 windows. I was told that the job would be a minimum of 4 days! They finished in 2! At first I was impressed, but it was about 9:00 PM and dark when they finished. Well when the sun came up we started to find all the stray screws in our yard. I have a 2 year old grandson and 2 puppies. Not to mention the cats. Very unsafe! Then we started finding screws and little black pieces throughout the house. Now my husband in his younger days was a contractor, so this sent him off on an exploration. Half of the windows were not caulked and about 1/2 of the rest weren't caulked properly. He ended up caulking the windows himself because getting a call back once the job was done was impossible!! Great product HORRIBLE customer service and poor installation!! read more
