    My husband and I used Andersen windows when we built 20 years ago. No regrets! A floor installer accidentally broke one last year and when we ordered a replacement, a representative told us it was still under warranty. They shipped it to us free of charge!

    Love that little, "I guess so," from Maverick. He's never going to forget working with his dad, and getting that arm around his shoulder. He's so proud of you. Thanks for being such a good dad. Windows are looking so beautiful.

    I saw another builder do it the way you did it, cutting the wrap flush with the opening and I thought about you and how you explained your modus operandi. Good job

    Doug, I put Andersen in about six year ago I think we went with the 200 series Fibrex on both in and out and that was because it came in the color we needed and the wood yes, would have been nicer but then the staining. I just wanted the window in and not further work. I can say we did the same UV protection for our south facing windows and it does make a difference from the Georgia sun.
    You made a good choice. Save the Andersen stickers that are long and tell the rating and gas and it also has the window number on them put in in a binder and make sure NOT to peel off the smaller white sticker on the window that correlates to the big sticker in the binder, as that is how you will be able to get warranty work done when you need it.

    When my house was remodeled in 2008, Anderson windows were installed, I went with the dark brown exterior, they tilt inward so I can clean the exterior from the inside, no more climbing ladders to wash my outside windows, Ashley is going to love that. I went for the windows with the panes inside (? Don’t know if that’s what it’s called) but my place is a Cottage & I wanted to stay with that cottage look.

    Doug very good way to install windows.
    I watched last fall a renovation where they did no flashing to the sill. Then they caulked everything
    including the sill. After the weather was cold she put flashing around the window.

  • @donhuffer5167
    @donhuffer5167 Год назад +2

    We Installed Andersen and it’s my understanding they want sealant under the flange at the screw holes on three sides and won’t warranty the window if you don’t follow their installation.
    I installed in the same method as you except we cut the Tyvek one inch wide of the opening so the window wrap sticks to the subsiding away from the opening. Love the windows and love flanged windows. When I see builders do the X it fortifies my reasoning to build it myself.

    We made the mistake of price checking Anderson Windows once in Oregon. We decided we couldn't afford them, and it literally took an entire YEAR for them to quit calling and texting us. I'm sure they're good windows, but they were SO expensive! I wish they'd told us the prices at the home show (where we saw them at first), but they insisted on sending a rep out to the house to look at our needs and talk about all the options. He actually acted mad at us when we told him we wouldn't be going with them, like we'd caused him a great inconvenience by letting him come out to do his spiel. Kinda soured me on the whole company; I'm glad you had a better experience with them. Maybe they're not as pushy in Florida.

    • @robras8805
      @robras8805 Год назад +12

      There is a huge difference between an Anderson window itself, and the installation company that sells replacement windows. The window itself is decent quality at a reasonable price. Window installers...on the other hand...are horrifying.

    • @galady8632
      @galady8632 Год назад +8

      I made the mistake of going to Home Show and talked with a rep re windows. My home has 30 windows, 3 are not 'normal' sizes so they would have to be custom. Installation was almost as expensive as the windows. Not everyone has a multi-talented family member with amazing skills. I do not have voice-mail activated. I also received endless calls. I told them I wasn't comfortable with their pricing and to cease all phone calls. They increased the # of daily calls. I sent a Cease & Letter. I finally filed a complaint with their Headquarters and the BBB. They finally stopped annoying me. That occurred pre-pandemic. To date I haven't changed my windows. I dread the entire process.

      You probably talked to a company affiliated with Anderson called “Replacement By Anderson”. I have dealt with them and yes they are very aggressive for sure. They hounded me for months after I tried to get someone out to repair a glass section of my Anderson aluminum window that was leaking between the panes of glass. The guy there told me that the entire 3 panel window frame would need to be replaced, costing around 2 thousand dollars. We were selling the house so I decided to call a local glass company and they came out and repaired just the section that was leaking for just a couple hundred. I will never call Anderson for repair again.

    We have had Anderson windows in our house for 45 years. Fantastic windows. They were worth the price.
    Not Renewal by Anderson. But Anderson. (Two different companies)

    • @tboettge2
      @tboettge2 Год назад

      They are the same only difference is Andersen is just new windows. Renewal is the replacement windows. What lead to this was people were buying the new windows cutting off the flange and then screwing them in from the sides. This would compromise the window and Andersen was getting a really bad name for their windows. That is when they brought in the Renewal by Andersen. They don't let anyone but themselves install the windows for replacement. I found the windows to be garbage. We had 18 windows installed and a door wall. Complete garbage is being nice. They leak air, you can hear them whistle, ice builds up on the doors and windows and our humidity is not high in our home. The door wall is hard to open, they have replaced it twice already and coming out in May yet again to try and find out why the windows are icing up, whistling and not sliding correctly. It has been a nightmare to get ahold of anyone in a management position. I asked for the management to reach out but never did Multiple times I called, I reached out on Facebook nothing after being promised multiple times they would. I finally called the corporate line and got someone as the local area would not help or return calls. Our old Andersen windows were just as bad. Never would I recommend them to my worst enemy. I am glad your windows are better then the experience we have went through and still dealing with for over 6 months. The sales guy pitch was we come out ounce and you never see us again. He said it was because the window are so well made. I have come to find out is it because they just don't return calls.

    • @gail2616

      We paid big money for Pella…horrible window! Leaks, the glazing weeping, just bad! Went with Andersen for the rest, and patio door. Wood inside, clad on the outside, best windows ever! It’s all based on each individuals experience! We have a cabin, and replaced those windows with Menards “best”….and the are great! Warm, no leaks, and for the north woods of Wisconsin no less!

      @@gail2616 good to know about Pella and Menards thanks for sharing. I'm extremely disappointed because we paid $45,000 for these and they are horrible and considering they installed them makes it even worse.

      @@tboettge2 the Menards windows are vinyl windows. We were surprised with them actually, and didn’t want to spend a bundle on windows, because we had a ton of renovations to make! Haven’t replaced them! They tilt to clean, and came with screens too.

    My parents put Anderson windows in our house growing up, they were very expensive but good quality.
    My husband and I replaced all 23 (66" height downstairs and 60" height upstairs) windows in our current home in 2014 but we ended up going with a local Mennonite company. They are of course vinyl, but they have internal grids and are double hung tilt in for easy cleaning. We had them do the install too. We are VERY happy with our purchase!
    We had Comfort do an estimate and they quoted us more for 9 windows than we paid for all 23!!
    I really like your installation method, Doug! I'll be referring to your videos for future installations! Now I just need you to do a metal sided pole barn with window and garage door installations! 😆😁
    P.S. Looking forward to part 2!
