Why Renewal costs more
You’re paying for a one-stop service: measurement, custom manufacturing, installation and a single warranty, plus a substantial sales and marketing operation.
How to compare fairly
- Get a Renewal quote and a quote for a comparable Andersen line (for example 100 Series or 400 Series) from a certified installer.
- Ask for the price per window without promotions. Large “discounts” off an inflated list price aren’t savings.
- Take time to decide; good offers don’t expire overnight.
