  I have a EMCO storm door, with Serial Number **********. It has 4 hinges and the lower 2 hinges are broken right now. Pins are worn out and the door couldn't function properly. I just want to know what the warranty can do about this issue, like if I can get a free replacement of the hinge rail. I tried to reach out to Andersen but they kept transferring me to different departments without providing a solution. Phone call waiting time is long and online chat doesn't help either. I hope someone from ******** can assist me on this issue.Please contact me by email only.

  The problem may be related to wind damage and not covered under the Limited Warranty.  I am sorry to hear the customer was frustrated by reaching out to the Call Center.  I will have a manager reach out to the customer to discuss.

  I have been receiving email from Renewal By Andersen for over a year. I asked them to stop sending them to me and I'm still getting them. Each time I get them I forward them to **** ****** . I told him to tell the 3rd parties to stop sending them to me as I never requested any info. He never responded to me nor did he stop the emails. I counted them starting on 9/10/2024 and including one again today I have received 33 emails. Yes I can go to the end of the email and request removal of my name but this is disgusting as I never ASKED for info. Apparently **** doesn't care as today when I tried to forward the latest email I was rejected with "wrong address". I guess he didn't like hearing from me so he blocked me.

  I purchased Andersen windows and they agreed to remedy defects and there is no remedy to open these windows. They have no handle and are difficult to operate. This cpuld be life threatening in a fire.Previously they sent a *** to remedy and never returned with parts and or ***air. These are manufacturing defects that violate the Uniform Commercial Code and the ** Consumer Fraud Act. I purchased Andersen becausexwe owned their older windows for 20 years. Andersen advertised their windows as the best window manufacturer with the best product and warranty. We bought new ones and were tricked. This is consumer fraud, I have 20 year old Andersen windows that are substantially superior to the new 2024 models. The support is also substantially inferior.I would prefer a return of the windows for a refund. I would like to purchase a different more reliable brand. I would seek labor costs also if they will not assist now.

  Andersen has spoken with the customer previously in May 2024 and he had sent in a previous complaint about a storm door and that there were missing parts.  Andersen responded to that complaint and we spoke to that customer at that time. For this complaint it seems to be we are discussing windows. Andersen does not seem to have record of him contacting us first before reaching out to the BBB about this matter. An Andersen representative will contact the customer and will talk to him about this new concern.

  Purchased a Custom Order Andersen 400 Patio door with many upgrades to include White Vinyl Wrapped exterior/interior $431.09 upgrade in 07/2019, Door has warped and Andersen after numerous calls and visual checks agreed to replace the sliding portion of the door under warranty. Took door serial number and explained it would be exactly the same to include providing # in corner of glass as requested. Upon arrival of the door it was not the same, finish is a prime wood finish and in between grills are different sizes. Initial **************** Rep. ******* told me I was not correct and they do not have vinyl wrapped doors. After showing her custom order of doors was told that I was correct but they no longer offer that door. Andersen stated that they would offer to replace both sides of door to non vinyl wrap. Andersen refused to credit the upgraded charge or provide an upgraded door. **************** refused to allow me to speak to a manager or leadership but initially put a co-worker on the phone ******* who tried to indicate that she was corporate but not management. I had already taken the original door out and initially I was told that a shipping label would be mailed to me to return the replacement door. The second rep told me I could destroy or donate the replacement door, I asked her to provide that notification in an email which she refused and indicated that she was going to terminate the call. Total length of call was 1 hr. ********************************************************************************************************************* to speak to management. Overall customer service was horrendous, I was initially called a liar regarding the door finish and that she would not believe me unless I provided her with documentation (which I did). I had been placed on lengthy holds at least 4 times which were 15 mins or longer each time. Andersen refuse to refund my upgraded cost or provide an upgraded quality door.

  I am sorry to hear that the customer was frustrated by their experience with our call center agents.  I will have an Andersen ***************** manager contact the customer within 7 to 10 business days to speak with them regarding their concerns.

  During tropical ***** ***** my hurricane rated windows leaked. all 4 casement leaked under winds 50mph gusts. Andersen only offered seal replacement and a charge for labor/travel of workers for $1,147. these are certified windows required by ************************************* due to living on the gulf coast. the fix should be paid in full by the manufacturer. these are supposed to be the strongest built windows yet cannot hold against a mere tropical gusts of winds.

  Business Response

  Date: 10/21/2024

  Any windows may have water infiltration if the performance rating is exceeded by the storm. A tropical storm would most likely exceed those performance ratings.

  Customer Answer

  Date: 10/25/2024

   I am rejecting this response because:
  
  I stated that these are hurricane rated windows. They are required for living on the gulf coast. The response of exceeded the integrity of the window and leaked at mere 50mph gusts from a tropical storm should concern Andersen as a company moving forward. I really dont think tropical ***** ***** had 50mph gusts in my area to be honest. Attached is on clip and one sticker photo of the model. All 4 casements leaked. Not one but all 4. The inspector for my tx windstorm claim said they are installed correctly just not the quality I was sold. 

  Business Response

  Date: 11/01/2024

  I understand the customer is frustrated but our position is that the storm may have exceeded the performance levels of the Andersen products.  This is not covered under the Andersen Limited Warranty.  The Andersen Limited Warranty is available on our website at ******************************.  I will ask that an Andersen ***************** Manager give the customer a call as well. This could take up to 7 to 10 business days.

  The window operator for my Andersen window broke (it happens). I used the Andersen website and my window productid to find and order the correct part. It arrived and it wasn't the right part. After contacting them I was given the correct part number to order. When I asked about returning the incorrect part I was told that I had to pay a 20% restocking fee and that I would have been told this when I ordered the part. I went back online to order the correct part and there is NO notification on the website concerning a restocking fee. All I want is to send the incorrect part back (I'm find paying shipping) and getting a full refund from Andersen for the part. Then they need to fix their policy or their website.

  On March 4, 2024 we purchased 48 Andersen 400 series windows for our 20+ year old home. We spent $50,975.22 on windows only, no labor.The business was to provide fully operational, functional windows without flaws.Upon installation by a licensed Andersen window contractor, we discovered 25% of the windows have manufacturing flaws. The contractor told to contact the supplier, Loudoun Lumber, who then told us to contact Andersen Windows directly. We have been calling Andersen Windows since July 2024 and getting a runaround. Every time we call we get a different "supervisor." Now we are told to contact a new contractor who will come out to inspect and fix. We have contacted this contractor several times. SOME of the replacement parts are allegedly in at ******* Lumber but Andersen is not coordinating. For FIVE MONTHS we have been trying to get this resolved. I have repair ID tape all over my windows and missing mullions no one seems to know the whereabouts of. Not the look I was going for when I invested my hard earned money in what are suppose to be quality windows. Andersen Windows' warranty is horrible and they are NOT trying to resolve this problem at all.

  Business Response

  Date: 10/17/2024

  I apologize that the customer has been frustrated by the response they have received from Andersen Service.  I will follow-up on the customer's concerns with the relevant service representatives and someone will reach out to the customer after we have reviewed the file. Reviewing this information and contacting the appropriate individuals may take up to 7 business days.

  I purchased an ******** door approx 2 months ago. The contractor wasn't available to install said door until last week. Upon install there is a sticker on the door that says do not return to store call number listed if any damage or if parts are missing. I was missing a closer, and the handle to change the glass and screen. Upon calling the number listed I was told I needed to have a receipt to get parts sent to me. There is nothing on said sticker that denotes needing to have a receipt. I was unable to get a reprint from the store purchased from due to it being a cash transaction. All 3 doors in my home are Andersen, storm door and exterior door. I also have Andersen windows in my home. I am disappointed in the customer service to say the least. I expect to receive the window handle and a closer free of charge.
