      This company has been soliciting door to door rudely and aggressively in our neighborhood monthly for the last few months. It happened again Tuesday this week and it made my wife very uncomfortable. Stop the soliciting at my house/property. The salesman was yelling his sales pitch after my wife closed the door. Unacceptable.

      Mr. ******************* reading your note with BBB, my team did some research. 

      Our records show that one of our Agents first knocked your door on 3.15.2022 and seven months later on 10.24.2022.  Two years later on 7.26.24 we knocked again.  And a year after that, and most recently, we knocked on 5.8.2025.  These are the only times Renewal by Andersen has been to your home as we try to be very respectful of the number of times we visit the same neighborhood.

      Maybe canvassers from other companies have been mistaken as our Renewal by Andersen Team.

      We have also researched who the Agent was that most recently called on your home.  This particular agent is usually quiet and kind.  He, however, has been coached based on your input.

      We will add you to our Do Not Knock list to avoid any future issue.

      Thank you,

      This company will not stop mail solicitations. I have contacted them twice by phone to request removal from their mailing list. I have never done business with this company or requested information, quotes, or expressed any interest. I am on the *** and Do Not Mail or solicit list yet still continue to receive their solicitations after multiple requests for this to be stopped and be removed from this list.

      Contacted the company last October because of a rotting situation on a window sill. A technician was dispatched who found some external s**** caps were missing and there was a crack in a liner piece. He indicated that the rotting issue could be caused by this, and took measurements for a replacement piece. I followed up with the company several times, receiving various excuses. Today (1/8) I received an email from **** *********, a Renewal by Andersen Service Assessment Specialist stating they "deemed that the rot did not stem from an installation related water leak." I do not agree with this conclusion by people who have not actually seen the issue.

      Customer Answer

      Date: 01/08/2025

      We are not the original buyers of the window in question as the previous homeowner had it installed. However, the Renewal by Anderson warranty transfers with the house so it does extend to us. In fact, they were out previously for an issue with a different window and it was covered under this warranty. I hope this answers your question.

      In late 2017 we met with a Renewal By Andersen sales person and ordered windows and a sliding glass door. The installation was started in January 2018. The installation was not done correctly, and the company did make some attempts to fix the issues. There are still two issues:- A safety device is missing from one window, which has causes us to fail the inspection by the Watauga County building inspector - A piece is missing from one pair of windows Unfortunately, the person from the ***************** (****, I do not have his surname) who made several repairs at our home is no longer doing that type of work. **** was wonderful to work with, and he ordered the missing part, but it was never installed. The customer service person who was assigned to my account (***** ******) was wonderful to work with in 2017 - 2019. Unfortunately, she has moved into a new position, and although she still answers the phone when I call she refuses to give me the name or number of someone who should be responsible for fixing things.Note: The services department would be happy to do the work, as long as I pay them. This is ridiculous, even though I understand that the services department needs to show a profit, I already paid $32,978.25 for the windows and I should not be paying the service department to come out and fix mistakes made during the sales and installation process.

      I am happy to have someone in our services department reach out to you by end of business day today to discuss further.

      My husband and I contracted with *** to replace windows in our home on 3/29/2024. We replaced a total of 10 windows. Eight (8) of the windows on the front of the home were changed from single windows to double slider windows. Someone came out to measure the windows on 4/5/2024. Windows arrived for installation on 6/12/2024, however, 8 front slider windows were the wrong style from what we selected . The correct windows were installed on 8/5/2024. On 9/16/2024 I reported to *** that I saw ***** spots in one of the tracks of a lower level front window, which may indicate water. A repair technician came out on 9/24/2024 and caulked around the window. On 9/26/2024 I contacted *** to inform them that the upper level window above the one I reported on 9/16/2024 must also have a water issue because water was pooling inside the wall in the bedroom. On 9/28/2024 someone came out to address the water in the wall by cutting out the sheetrock and allowing the wall to dry out. On 10/7/2024 a technician came to replace the sheetrock and mud the wall in the bedroom. On 10/15/2024 someone came to paint the bedroom wall, but stated the quality of work done on 10/7/2024 was poor quality. He turned out to be a ** manager. He didnt do any work that day but instead returned on 11/7/2024 to redo the sheetrock. He then returned on 11/22/2024 to sand and paint the wall. On 11/29/2024 I sent pictures to *** stating the work completed on 11/22/2024 was not up to par. The walls are blemished and not sanded well. I should not be able to see an outline of where the sheetrock was replaced, in my opinion. ***** from Administration contacted me on 12/4/2024 and I explained my dissatisfaction.

      We had anderson window install new windows and doors on our house. Since then they have had to come back 6 times for repairs. They were here last week and already need to come back to fix an issue from last week along with two new issues they created. We spent $40,000 for this project. It should not require multiple repairs that are clearly installer error and poor product quality. Not to mention the lack of consistency in the install. Some windows are set two -three inches deep while others are much less causing blinds to fit inconsistently. The fact that no one except repair guys have come to follow up (at this point I would expect to see a supervisor or manager) shows how little the company cares. When I posted a complaint on ********* they called to sell us new windows.

      On March 20 Anderson replaced 14 windows in my home. The process was to take 3 to 4 days. They did it one day and in so doing damaged my house and property.in several locations. They promised to fix the damage. To date, May 15 they have not. I believe they have no intention of doing so. This is why I believe I need your help.I do intend to address the large sum of money I paid. If you could help me with this that would be great. If not I will take this up at another time.

      We did reach out to you in early April to get you on the schedule for service. This service included repairing the siding and gutter guard. We offered a service date of 04/26, but you were unavailable so we put you on the calendar for 05/06. The installer who came out to your home on 05/06 confirmed that all services were complete. You did not agree, so we did send out a technician to your home today to complete a walk through with you.

      After the completion of the installation on March 20th, 2024, the customer signed a zero defect form and confirmed that everything was completed to their satisfaction.

      Once we were notified that there were a couple of items the customer was concerned about, one of our Production Managers, ****, met with the customer on May 29th, 2024 at 12pm. After a short conversation and a walk through with the customer, **** agreed to have a 3rd crew go out and paint the shutter plug heads that our technician had offered in a previous visit. The customer had concerns about damaged and/or broken nail fins on his existing siding, **** agreed to have **** and **** remove siding wherever the customer wanted it checked to prove it had been replaced. Upon this inspection the customer found 1 piece that had nail fin damage and we agreed to replace it. This was done as a goodwill gesture. The customer had painted his shutters a custom color and the plugs used were as close to a match as could be provided.

      We have not received any information or documentation regarding damage to the gazebo.

      A completion call took place on May 30th, 2024 and the customer confirmed again that everything had been completed to his satisfaction.

      On September 27, 2023 I had new windows put in my renewal by Andersen. I was well until I noticed on a large crack high on my siding as I was showing my new windows to some family members. The damage to my siding that was not there prior to the window installation. After I called renewal by Anderson, to inform them of the damage to see what can be done; they told me that they believe they were not at fault for this damage. However, I am positive that they were at fault as there was no damage prior to the installation, and the damage done is no more than 3 feet away from the window that they were working on. The damage also looks to have been done by a ladder, hitting the siding, which there was a ladder in use for that particular window.

      Good Afternoon ******* Family.  Thank you for the feedback.  We have done some additional investigation and have determined that crack was not there prior to our measuring of your new windows.  While it is hard to imagine we could have caused that damage given the location in proximity to the window, we are happy to assist in replacing it.  We will be reaching out to you for follow up appointments to replace that piece of siding.  Please feel free to contact us with any further questions or concerns.

      I am writing, again, to express my deep disappointment and continued frustration with Renewal by Anderson's persistent and intrusive marketing tactics. I have reached out on multiple occasions to request that my information be removed from your marketing lists. The latest piece of communication from your company, which you dare to call a "thank you letter", is nothing short of a pathetic excuse for acknowledgement. I want to make it unequivocally clear that I have on intention of ever doing business with your company again. Moreover, I am committed to sharing my negative experiences via BBB complaints, as long as your company continues to harass me through these incessant marketing schemes. I implore you to actually take action this time and cease any further marketing attempts. Please work on your approach to improve customer relations and marketing practices. Given the $97,000+ I spent on windows/doors and the pathetic level of customer service I received for the price paid, and apparently continue to receive given your never-ending incompetence, you have a significant amount of work to do.

      Again, I apologize for any frustration we have caused.

      Sincerely,
      Jodie M
      Director of Marketing

    BBB Business Profiles may not be reproduced for sales or promotional purposes.

    BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
