Renewal by Andersen of Central Virginia

How much do Renewal by Andersen windows cost?

Renewal by Andersen is positioned as a premium window replacement option, typically priced higher than standard vinyl windows due to their custom manufacturing process and proprietary Fibrex® material. Pricing varies significantly based on window size, style, glass options (double vs. triple pane), hardware finishes, and the number of windows being replaced. The company offers free in-home consultations where they measure your specific windows and provide a detailed quote. Many customers report quotes in the range of several thousand dollars per window for their fully custom product, which includes professional installation, warranty, and the Fibrex® material that combines wood strength with vinyl's low maintenance. Financing options are available, though it's important to carefully review terms and interest rates before committing.

What makes Renewal by Andersen different from other window companies?

Renewal by Andersen is the replacement window division of Andersen Corporation, operating through factory-certified dealers like this Central Virginia location. The key difference is their proprietary Fibrex® composite material (not available from other manufacturers) and their fully custom manufacturing process—every window is built to your home's exact measurements, not adapted from standard sizes. They handle the entire process from consultation through installation with their own teams, rather than subcontracting. The trade-off is higher cost compared to standard vinyl windows, but the benefit is a truly custom product designed for your specific home's architecture, which is particularly valuable for historic Richmond homes with non-standard window openings.

How long does the window replacement process take?

The process typically begins with a free in-home consultation where a representative measures your windows, discusses options, and provides a quote. If you move forward, windows are custom-manufactured to order, which generally takes several weeks. Installation timeline depends on the number of windows—a typical whole-home project might take 1-3 days of actual installation work. The showroom at 3895 Deep Rock Road operates by appointment (Monday-Friday 9 AM-4:30 PM) for initial consultations, or they can schedule an in-home visit directly.

What warranty does Renewal by Andersen offer?

Renewal by Andersen provides a limited warranty on their windows that covers both the Fibrex® material and installation. The specific warranty terms and duration should be discussed during your consultation, as coverage can vary by product and installation details. It's important to understand what is and isn't covered, and to keep documentation of your warranty terms. Note that modifying or altering the windows or hardware yourself may void certain warranty provisions, so it's recommended to contact Renewal by Andersen directly for any service needs during the warranty period.
