Why Should I Replace My Windows?
Help Lower Energy Bills
Because poor performing windows contribute to heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer, replacing your windows can help save you money on your energy bills.
Energy Efficiency
Lessen your impact on the environment by replacing your old windows with one of our many energy-efficient, ENERGY STAR® certified options.
Smart Home
Many of our replacement windows are available with the option of open/close and locked/unlocked sensors, so you can add window and patio door monitoring to your existing smart home system.
Curb Appeal
With a wide array of wood types and stains, colors, grille patterns and hardware finishes, replacement windows are a great way to update your home’s style.
No More Scraping!
Gone are the days of scraping and painting your old windows. New replacement windows are available in several different materials that are virtually maintenance-free.
Improved Functionality
If your old windows are stuck or hard to open, it may be time to replace them. Or, perhaps you’d like to change the type of window for improved ventilation.
Easy Cleaning
Many of today’s replacement window styles tilt in for easy cleaning of both the interior and exterior glass from inside your home.
Reduce Drafts
If your current windows are broken, drafty or fog up between the panes, it’s probably time to replace them. You’ll wish you’d done it sooner!
What to Expect
Follow these tips to help your window replacement run smoothly.
Home Preparation
Choose a Contractor
Read reviews, look on social media, and ask for referrals.
Gather Estimates
Request multiple written estimates that include start and completion dates, detailed description of work, project costs, who will obtain permits, and payment arrangements.
Measure & Order Windows
Your contractor will come to your home to take final measurements and answer any questions before ordering your windows.
Installation Day
Plan for 1-2 Days of Installation
The number of windows will determine the length of time needed for the project.
Prepare for Installation Day
Clear pathways, remove window treatments and disconnect window security features, keep children & pets away from work areas, and confirm which windows are being replaced.
Walk Through and Inspection
Learn how each window operates, learn how to clean and maintain them, and review warranty.

Replacement Windows Case Study
Take a closer look at a beautiful home which replaced its original wood windows with 400 Series Woodwright® insert windows to maintain historical integrity.
Woodwright® Replacement Windows
Make New Homes Look Old and Old Homes Like New
Woodwright® double-hung windows bring authentic old-world character to homes of all ages.
Insert Windows
When original frames and trim are in good shape, you can leave them in place, saving time and disruption. Insert windows fit right into the existing frame, preserving much of the original look of the window. Available in custom sizes.
Full-Frame Windows
If your existing window frame is rotted or deteriorated, you'll want to choose full-frame windows for your replacement project. Although full-frame windows generally cost more than inserts, you'll be able to maximize your visible glass using this method. Available in standard & custom sizes.
Double-Hung Replacement Windows
Our Most Popular Double-Hung Window
Year after year, the Andersen 400 Series tilt-wash window is our best-selling double-hung window — and for good reason. Extremely energy efficient, it gives you a wide array of decorative and performance options.

Casement Replacement Windows
Made Like No Other
Andersen® 400 Series casement windows start with a design that is extremely energy efficient. Add to that a solid-wood sash covered inside and out by low-maintenance Perma-Shield® cladding to protect against water damage. Then give them rich, natural pine interiors and it’s easy to see why they have become our best-selling window.
Narroline® Double-Hung Window Conversion Kits
Narroline® double-hung window conversion kits are designed specifically to retrofit existing Narroline® windows (1968 and newer), turning them into easy-to-clean tilt-wash double-hung windows with High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass.
100 Series Replacement Windows
The Smart Alternative to Vinyl
A good value, Andersen® 100 Series windows offer many advantages over vinyl. They’re made with sustainable Fibrex® composite material that’s 2X stronger and more durable than vinyl, low-maintenance inside and out and energy-efficient.
100 Series windows are available in deep, rich, fade-resistant colors that dramatically enhance any home and have a 12X thicker finish than that of painted vinyl windows* resulting in superior scratch resistance so they look new, longer.
Available as an insert window to save time and money when original frames are in good condition, free from damage or rot, or as a full-frame window when your existing window frame is deteriorated or rotted.
