Renewal by Andersen
Need help deciding between choices for replacement windows for my 25
year old aluminum windows. There are five large (5'x6') and two picture (3'x6') windows and two sliding patio doors, for which Renewal by Andersen has quoted $18K (installed, all inclusive). Other quotes for vinyl windows range from $6K to $9K and $13K for the best windows at Lowes. Is the Andersen price justified? Thanks in advance. |

I just finished replacing my 13 windows with Jeld-wen low-e argon for approx $2500. They have a lifetime warranty. http://jeld-wen.com/ Total cost for your windows would be approx $2900 (5x300, 2x200, 2x500), at Home Depot which I believe installs for a fair price. It is not difficult to install windows yourself plus a little help with lifting into place. Do you have siding, stucco? |

You need to learn about their ratings and how they compare Consumer
Reports has an old test done of apx 23 windows, www.energystar.gov will help. Just an example there are 2 or three types of LowE coatings avalaible, depending on your area will determine what you need, Southern areas usualy want to block as much solar increase as they can. You need to know all the ratings to compare them. Anderson is a good product, but there are others. |

I have andersen vinyl clad windows and pella aluminum clad windows. On the south side of the house the vinyl has gotten slightly yellowed and stiff. I would go all Pella aluminum clad next time.
