We recently had 15 (5 different types) of Renewal by Anderson windows purchased from, and…read moreinstalled by, Better Living Concepts in Brainerd, MN. As a person that expects a good value for my money what we received exceeded my expectations. The options and type of window that Renewal by Anderson offers is worth every penny, and honestly, the price was comparable to the offering by Home Depot, Pella, and Menards and none of those places had the double gliders, interior wood molding, optional colors for interior and exterior, and a number of other options, that included a type of window casement that sealed the window from the outside in such a manner that it ensured a much tighter fit then regular casement windows. The installers were top notch started on time, finished on time, cleaned up daily, absolutely knew what they were doing, and didn't waste time, which is another plus in my book. I would highly recommend Better Living Concepts and the Renewal by Anderson windows.

They are Renewal by Anderson windows installed by Western Products. They have leaked worse than the old widows they replaced since they were installed. Western Products service is a joke. It had been a struggle to get them to respond sometimes it takes me calling repeatedly. The couple times I've gotten someone out to look at them they only have put a dollar worth of foam pieces in to try to in my opinion bandage the leaks. Did nothing to help with problem. Be very cautious of this company and products. There sales team really make it sound good and make you think the will work diligently to resolve any problems. I have found out he hard way so far this is not true. I will keep posting any progress with my situation.

I can not believe how well they matched the stain on the new windows to match the rest of our woodwork in the house. It is a perfect match!

I strongly recommend AGAINST working with Luke Simonson and Simonson's Siding Service, LLC (403 K…read moreSt NE, Brainerd, MN 56401-2225). Luke seems like a great guy. Unfortunately he stole $13,000 from me. I contracted with Luke in February of 2021 to install siding and windows at our lake cabin in Menahga. In February, I foolishly gave Luke 50% down on the job ($13,000) to "secure my spot and pay for materials". Luke promised to complete work by the first week of June. He started work in mid-May which would have given him plenty of time to complete his estimated 2 weeks +/-. When we arrived in the first week of June, the house was covered with tarps and the existing siding was thrown away on 2-sides. Two of the six windows (I provided the 2 windows) were installed. No new siding or material he was to purchase was on site. Then, the excuses started. Excuses all seem very reasonable and life is life; until they start mounting up. His crew quit and stole his trailer. He had to go get it with the sheriff and wait another week because they claimed they had Covid. His Grandma died. He had dental issues. His arm was hurt. He had his daughter's graduation. All of these reasons are understandable and reasonable; again, life happens. It is now the middle of August; 6 months after the initial contract and 10 weeks after the promised completion date. Storms have come and gone tearing at the tarps. We paid another contractor $3,000 to cover the walls with plywood since Luke took away the old material. We also paid for a window and its installation in the bathroom because Luke had removed the window in the shower and left us with a hole for 10 weeks. We have not seen Luke since mid-June. He is not answering phone calls, texts or emails. He has our $13,000. When we filed a complaint last week with the BBB, he now claims "I have the siding material stored safely in a warehouse". How many contractors keep a warehouse with material for a job? Bald face lie. I'm very sorry that Luke is struggling with issues. I really am. And life goes on. For him and for me. I wish he would give me my $13,000 back. If he really has my material, then please give it to me. Or give me the bonding and licensing information that he says he has so that a claim may be filed. I strongly recommend AGAINST working with Luke Simonson and Simonson's Siding Service, LLC. If Luke returns my money or gives me the material, I will be happy to take down this review.
