Just completed A full window replacement, 25 in all, and couldn't be happier with the results. Installers were pros and made sure I was comfortable the entire time with their plan and how they progressed. We discussed their concept for replacing a custom window and they executed that perfectly. Complete cleanup and take away all materials, nothing left but footprints on the lawn. Huge thanks to Slavek, Piter, Arthur and Kris for outstanding and professional work. I highly recommend this company to others looking to make their home more comfortable and attractive. While the cost was higher than we initially expected, after considering our plans for our home, we expect the investment will be well worth it, and the results appear outstanding. read more

Renewal By Andersen - Windows Installation Near Me - Cranford, New Jersey

I had an appointment on Saturday to get an estimate on replacing four windows, two in the bedroom one is very small and two in the bathroom. I thought the quote should be around $2000. The quote was $12,000. I understand that they use composite and not vinyl. I understand that their installers are certified however I don't know how they justify three thousand dollars per window. The sales person was annoyed with me when I told him I wasn't interested and he pointed out some of the windows in my house that I didn't want replaced are vinyl and I said yes, they are great no draft they work perfectly. I'm going to try Home Depot and even if I go with composite windows by Anderson, I believe it's going to be a lot less money than $12,000. read more

We had such a great experience. From the moment we saw salesman up to the two great guys who installed our windows it was truly a pleasure . They matched my siding and cleaned around it. Very professional .. great experience! read more

Renewal By Andersen - My old garden window that came with house when I bought it. It was leaking terribly.. - Windows Installation Near Me - Cranford, New Jersey

I received a quote from Renewal by Andersen for 1 door and 3 windows at $ around 27,000 and signed a contract and got financing. Later, they tried to add around an extra $1,000 because they supposedly measured the door an inch off or so. This didn't make sense and felt like a bait-and-switch tactic. Beware -- based on my experience, I would avoid this company at all costs. read more

If I could give this company 0 stars I would. I received a quote from them 1 time and they've been harassing me ever since. It's pretty obvious that they invest heavily in advertising and then sell you an overpriced product. I made an appointment to get a quote. They checked out all my windows for free but unfortunately EVERY SINGLE window needs to be replaced. According from them, they only offer the best windows in the world. They don't have any other options. The sales person didn't seem to understand the concept of options. Why would I put the top of the line windows on a mediocre home? They offered a discount but only if I committed at that moment. There is no way I would ever buy anything from this company. I would rather board my windows up. I do not appreciate their lack of options, their forceful sales tactic and their endless harassment. Save your time and go literally anywhere else. read more

No..would never use again. Had problems. Just ignored me. Not worth the price. Window problems & storm door not what I wanted.

This is the most crooked company ever. Throw him out of your home. For 3 simple basement sliding windows he quotes me over $12,612 and acts like he is doing me a big favor for just today. If I do it right now he can do $10,721, but only today. It was a time share hard seller. The worst of the worst. I knew it was completely insane. 6 times he said just one more question. I had to finally say Enough! You need to leave right now. At Home Depot, I got 3 similar windows installed by their professional installers, for $2,800. Renewal is the worst of the absolute worst. They live off hard selling criminal prices. read more

The television ad campaign is 100% misleading. The lie, they make false claims to only have your time wasted when they visit your house. Zero financing, claiming approval for financing is all lies. The attorney general of NJ should look into their false advertising and misleading claims. The rep who stopped by was friendly & professional. The company sucks. Moreover, once I did additional research, tremendously overpriced !!!! Lowes was as nice & 80% less !!! Yes, 80% less. Buyer beware of their extremely overpriced windows / doors & the extreme false advertising from this pathetic, con job company. read more

I changed my plans to meet the renewal by Anderson rep. We had an appointment for 10am. They confirmed at 815, the 9 they cancelled. Now looking at reviews, not very good. read more

Renewal by Anderson has done it again. Do you believe in coincidences I don't ,After waiting 7 months to have a defective window repaired. The very next day I receive an email saying we owe $299 for the town permit, guess it took them that long to figure it out. After questioning the bill I received another email stating you now owe $629 and pay as soon as possible. If this is the way they treat a disabled legally blind veteran living on a fixed income I would say if you are contemplating using renewable by Anderson RUN don't walk as fast as can away from them. Use Lowe's Home Depot or your local lumber supply co. The price will be a lot cheaper and the service will be same if not better. I'd give zero stars if I could read more

We used these guys years ago. The window were recycled crap. The worst ever. But now we keep get 'marketing' junk from them almost every day. They refuse to take us off their mailing list. Crap company with crap products. read more

After spending $33,000 on new windows and a front door .. Four months ago and This company does not stand behind the product!! Out of 8 windows and screens.. 3 of the screens are not sitting properly After several attempts to have them replaced they said they are to spec and won't replace!! They are rude to say the least .. If I knew how this company operated I would have never changed anything!!! DO NOT PURCHASE THESE EXPENSIVE WINDOWS-FIND A COMPANY WHO WILL STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT!!! read more

Oh my God I can't say enough good things about Renewal By Andersen basically from the time they showed up together the phenomenal presentation and show us how much better there replacement window is than any other competitors lifetime warranty to the time we sat back and looked at the windows post insulation. They were just amazing. The follow up the supervision is just incredible. They cleaned up better than, we ever thought a contractor would and I got to tell you if they are just amazing read more

I tried to call in for a quote, but the staff I talked to was extremely short with me. I tried to tell them that I was shopping around for the most affordable quote, to which I was told to "not be so cheap," and that they don't spend time on quotes for people who don't want to spend the money on "real windows." read more

Signed up for a meeting with an Anderson Renewal representative for a quote on replacing a picture window with one adjoining double hung window on each side. After a 45 minute presentation on why I should use Anderson Renewal, a price finally arrived. $7400. for the job. Red flag number one. That was for the windows and installation. They don't give you a breakdown of the products and installation. Red flag number two. This price is only good for one day! Red flag number three. This is a thinly disguised high pressure sale. Buyer beware! Since then I have gotten quotes that are half to one third the price depending on the widow chosen. If you have to have an Anderson window you can chose from multiple contractors that don't give you one day to decide. Check out Anderson Renewal's rating and reviews on Yelp. read more

Really bad experience and a waste of time. I scheduled an appointment in Freehold NJ, the technician came in with an attitude talking down to me like we were idiots and have no idea what were doing.... asked him for a quote which he never provided. Called customer service who have no idea of what the technician did... overall 2hr wasted and I won't hire them read more

This business is the worst. Once you agree to meet with them once... Only once they will forever hassle you 3 phone calls a week, mail, email and drop bus! What reputable business does this? I'll tell you a desperate one. I had the estimate and they were so far off on competition that I just laughed and told them no thanks and to stop harassing me through phone, mail and other ways. I will never do business with people like this. Quality my butt. More like swindle and scheme. Don't put yourself through this. Do not even let them come to your house once they are like vampires once invited they'll never leave you be. Worst business mistake I've made in a decade. Never again. read more

I called 800 number and scheduled appointment to have two windows replaced. Initially they set a time, then wanted to confirm the visit would take 60-90 minutes which I thought a bit much. At the appointed time Pierre arrived and was personable and seemed experienced. He measured the two casement kitchen windows 38 x 28 and 38x 23. He then gave me the guaranteed 12 month price of $12,000.. I said you must mean $1,200. each? No, he said I had to understand Andersen is a quality product and that is the 12 month price...there is also a same day and a two week price. I told him Home Depot has the window at about $750 each. I asked him to leave. read more

I had this company replace 10 windows back in 2018. I paid an average of $1400 per window which I thought was fair. Flash forward to 2024 and they now want close to $2800 per window. Had Home Depot quote the same windows - Andersen 400 series with the same features and their quote came in at $14,000 less than Renewal by Andersen. You can literally get the same windows in a big box retailer for a lot less. Your local hardware store probably can also order these same windows. Buy from anyone else other than these jokers. Unless you like getting it ripped off. read more

Had 4 living room windows replaced. One of the replacements did not open and installer failed to check operation before leaving. A trim piece was not installed properly and soon loosed. After numerous return visits and the help of my salesman things were made right. I would not purchase these again. read more

sales man was very nice and experienced but when it came to certain aspects he simply forgot to mention, like the one year guarantee on price. Yes the price was guaranteed as long as it wasn't the discounted price. The orginal price was almost $10,000 for one window, to be exact it was 9,600 The discounted price was 8000 and some change which was way too expensive and I told him that from the beginning,then came the pitch of the 0% financing for the first 6 months , than 9.9% interest, which is ridiculous and the interest was all upfront for the first six months which he neglected to tell me until I asked him. I asked for the same type of windows that I have, he said those were the most expensive type of window and wanted me to purchase a slider and didn't give me a price for what I asked for, none the less I feel they have a good window but not willing to pay that much money considering I'm retiring and not sure if I'll live the rest of my life in this home. Just be careful of the high sales pitch read more

Please do yourself a favor getting away from this company. Fist of all, their price is much higher than other well known companies and they put a lot discount advisement there, giving you a impression that you will get a good deal. Second of all, they come to your home spend a lot of time to sell their products. Finally, the sale person give you a final price after bargain back and forth, make you feel good thinking you got a good deal. But their policy and sell tactics is massing up your mind not shopping around, and to make the decision in the same day. After all their contract installation term is good and responsible . read more

Here's an update to my original review: After leaving some negative reviews on social media I finally received a response from Renewal by Anderson. After some further review by the company they sent a manager out to view our issues and to take some more pictures. 5 days later I got word that they would come to fix some of our issues regarding the installation and in fact they did send someone over and they did make good on some of those issues. Unfortunately when it came to the uneven joints on the two sliding doors they couldn't fix them nor could they guarantee that they would be any better if two more were produced for us so instead they gave us a refund of 10% of the purchase price. I'm neither saying you should or should not use them, rather I'm saying you should be aware of how things might work out for you. read more

1) Renewal by Anderson doesn't show up on time. 2) Renewal by Anderson doesn't provide correct instructions for the homeowner. 3) Renewal by Anderson cannot measure correctly. 4) Renewal by Anderson cannot install moulding correctly. I work from home and can't "stand-by" waiting for a crew to show up late. I had asked what had to be done prepping for their arrival and I removed all window coverings and shades and anything within 3 feet of the windows. Pets were secured. I was told nothing on the OUTSIDE had to be removed. Well I had to remove the 3 flower boxes from the OUTSIDE of the front windows. Two different people from Renewal by Anderson measured the windows but the oak moulding was incorrect. Take a look at the photos of when they finally installed the oak moulding. The windows from Renewal by Anderson are great...everything else they do is terrible. read more

I have had a terrible experience with the Renewal By Andersen factory. I originally bound a contract for a window installation at the beginning of March. I heard at the time that expected installation was to be end of May. At the end of May, I learned that the factory had in fact rejected the design. After weeks of trying to get a new design in place, I received an install date of August 5. I just learned this morning that the factory's delivery day will now be September 5th. I am beyond frustrated. I understood that Andersen charged more for "white glove service". My experience so far has been nothing but red tape a bureaucratic ping pong. read more

This is, by far, the worst company I have ever had the great misfortune of dealing with. In my entire life, I have never experienced a worse customer service experience. I bought A sliding glass door. Do yourself a favor - never buy from this company no matter what. First, their prices are so much higher than any of their competitors. I was convinced by the salesperson that it was worth it because of their beginning to end customer service experience - they build the door to your customization, install it, and all the rest. Well, after waiting 7 weeks for the door... they installed the wrong door. We didn't know it until they had ripped out our current one, that the one they were installing was wrong, and then they initially argued it was right! Newsflash - it wasn't. The door they installed was much cheaper quality, with less features. So, ok, tried to get customer service... it took an uncountable number of calls to get any help. When we finally did, they said it would be another 6-8 weeks for a new door. When asked how this happened, they just said, "who knows?". Then, we needed to reschedule the 2nd installation, and again, could not get anyone on the phone. We finally did reschedule, but they called after the initial second date to ask how the installation went (it didn't!). They are finally installing the door today, almost 4 months after we ordered it. It is taking forever, and it is still missing a feature we paid for. Never once have we been offered any kind of recompense for the trouble, not even an apology. If you are thinking of Renewal by Andersen, run screaming in the other direction. This is the worst home improvement company in the ENTIRE world. I would give them minus five stars if I could. Awful. read more

It did not go for me beyond the visit of the salesguy called "design consultant". I wanted to replace a couple of French doors of standard size, and since I have Andersen all around the house I called up Renewal by Andersen. I was shocked by the quote, some $21K. HD, Lowes and my local handyman provide French door installation for about $1K, and the doors go for about $2-3K. The weird sales tactics of "buy now" was even more shocking as if I was on a used car lot. The salesguy did not provide a breakdown of labor and parts, which was very strange. As a justification of the price 2.5x the market, he showed the installation 34-page brochure for Andersen doors, which was not convincing at all since half of it is French translation, and the brochures for any other brand are the same. I ended up buying replacement door panels from Andersen for about $1K, and the webchat person was perfect there helping find the exact product I needed. read more

Renewal by Andersen offers a very deceptive marketing and pricing strategy that fails to reflect on what they actually offer. The windows are incredibly expensive, but they justify the cost by highlighting their warranty and service. However, the service has been absolutely abysmal and they are unresponsive to my repeated requests. The salesperson (aka "design specialist") who initially came to my house (Andrew S) promised impeccable service and said he would be present in the project from start to finish. However, he disappeared as soon as we signed the contract and provided our deposit. We purchased 21 double-pane windows (totaling more than $49,000), yet the service has been the worst I have experienced in the home renovation sector (which is saying a lot!). Our 21 windows were replaced in April 2022 but they have yet to complete the installation. They replaced windows in our 1906 house, which means that the window trim was very old and in terrible shape (see pics). Nevertheless, they reused our old window trim rather than replacing it with new trim. Not only did it look atrocious, it also violated what they said they would do (replace the trim and window). I requested that they return and replace the trim with new wood and they returned. However, they partially completed the job (see pics) and have not been back. It's now December 2022 (7 months later) and we still have horrific looking trim or missing trim. I have called and emailed them countless times, but the job remains undone and looks like the pics you see. The company sends repeated "bot" texts to inform me that there's a delay in the supply chain for the window trim. In terms of the quality of materials, some of the handles on the windows randomly fall off and easily come off. Today I emailed the corporate office and tomorrow I'll call to follow up. I have spoken to many neighbors and to contractors about my problem, and they have all warned me about Renewal by Andersen and told me that they severely overprice their windows. I wish I had known what I know now. For that reason, I am writing a review to warn other naive homeowners about the terrible service. Buyer beware. read more

I had a sales person come to my home with the intent of getting 6 double hung windows. after 45 minutes of going over "types" of windows. the price came I. at 19k . I was floored. then the finance pitch started with 0 down and 0 interest for a year. which is nice to pay monthly but 19k is way to high. read more

We had a front door installed and although it was expensive and took 5 weeks to get it installed we were initially pleased. The installers did a good job and cleaned up after themselves. However, when measuring to get a storm door we realized they installed the wrong size door which would require a custom storm door. The company offered to give us a storm door rather than replace the door. Supposedly, the order went in almost 2 months ago and still we have no storm door! Nobody seems to know the status of our order which has already been paid in full. Customer service will not return phone calls and no one accepts responsibility. Their doors are beautiful, but this has been one big headache! read more

The price is absolutely astronomical! $109,000.09 for 24 basic windows!!! Come on! The rep was knowledgeable and very pleasant. I feel bad for him. There is no way he can sell any thing at these prices! It came to $3500. Per window!!! read more

I really trusted the reputation, but it turns out just a shame Huge regrets!! read more

follow up on my post. Someone came the next day and fixed the issue. Doors truly are amazing. Glad we worked out the misunderstand.

The pricing seems to be way above the standard..even compared to the top brands. The response from Anderson always seems the same. Something like you can't compare brands..we are the best period. Well I got a quote for a screen door $3000... Similar high quality doors can be purchased and installed for about $700. I am waiting for the standard response from Anderson. read more

We hired Andersen Renewal in Cranford, NJ to install 17 replacement windows in our home. We unfortunately trusted them to include everything they said they would in the contract, that you sign on an ipad at the in person meeting, and they didn't. They verbally tell you everything that is included, and then ask you to sign. They had promised their better Tru Scene screens on all the windows, but when they installed everything, they only put that screen on the kitchen window. I did make the mistake of not making sure the Tru-Scene screens were in the written contract. So much for integrity and delivering what was promised. There were also a number of mistakes through out the process, and they ended up firing the representative that came to our home. He gave us a price for the 17 windows and when they came back for the second time, suddenly the price was significantly higher. He made the mistake of telling us all 17 windows were included in the price, and we later determined, he forgot to include the kitchen window. So her verbally stated all 17 were included, but the total was originally based on 16 windows. When I spoke with the manager, Dan Maus regarding the change in price, he literally said it was impossible for them to make a mistake! They ended up giving a discount for the kitchen window they accidentally left out of the price. They left debris afterwards, but came back another time to clean it up after I called them about it. They gave a price for a Provia back door, which we were able to get for literally thousands less! They said if we proceeded with the door, they would consider a few screens, which they had promised and not delivered with the order for the windows! They are very pricey, and did not deliver what was promised. I do not recommend. read more

It all started out well. I thought the price was very high but I was assured that they were worth it. At first, they made the process seamless but once you're paid in full they don't return your calls. I'm left with a sliding door that doesn't fully open and dented siding. After posting review, I was immediately contacted and issues were resolved. Thank you, Katherine. read more

gotta love vendor response, sales pitch and a shovel full of moo. quality contractor and Pella or Marvin and save the insane over price mark-up. renewal is probably a great window, but the price is insane. and not worth it. read more

(1) Their sales tactics are manipulative, annoying, and insulting. They apply extreme pressure to make you sign up during their initial visit, instead of allowing time to think it over. I would never buy from any company that was this manipulative and desperate. Clearly only suckers buy these windows. (2) Prices were outrageous. They quote a ridiculously high initial price, just so they can then offer "discounts" to make it seem like you're getting a deal. But even the discounted price is outrageously high for what you get. ("You get what you pay for" isn't always true!) I'd rather have honest, straightforward pricing. Clearly only suckers buy these windows.

Do not use these people! Their sales tactics are very manipulative to get you to sign. I gave them. 3000.00 deposit and when I cancelled my job with them they kept $780.00 of it. That's Renewal by Anderson in Cranford NJ. I plan to contact the attorney general of NJ and the Better Business Bureau and even my lawyer! Very poor way to run a business! read more
