If you’ve been putting off replacing your windows, you’re not alone. Many Wisconsin homeowners hesitate because they’re not sure what the process involves, how long it takes, or what kind of disruption to expect. The good news? Our window replacement process is designed to be straightforward, transparent, and tailored to your home from start to finish.
Here’s a step-by-step look at what you can expect when you choose Renewal by Andersen for your window replacement project.
Step 1: Your First Call
Everything starts with a simple phone call or online request. When you reach out to Renewal by Andersen, a team member will answer your questions, learn a little about your home, and schedule a convenient time for your in-home consultation. There’s no pressure and no obligation, just an easy first step toward understanding your options.
Whether you’re dealing with drafty windows, rising energy bills, or outdated frames that have seen too many Wisconsin winters, this initial conversation helps us understand what’s driving your project.
Step 2: The In-Home Window Replacement Consultation
During your consultation, a design consultant visits your home to assess your current windows and discuss your goals. This isn’t a quick glance and a generic quote—it’s a thorough evaluation of your home’s specific needs.
Your consultant will take precise measurements, discuss material and style options, and explain the energy-efficiency benefits of our Fibrex® composite material. You’ll also see product samples and explore customization options, so your new windows complement your home’s architecture and your personal style.
This is your chance to ask questions about the window replacement process, timeline, financing, and anything else on your mind. By the end of the visit, you’ll have a clear understanding of your project scope and investment.
Step 3: Custom Manufacturing
Unlike big-box retailers that sell off-the-shelf windows, Renewal by Andersen custom-builds every window to your home’s exact specifications. After your consultation, your order goes to manufacturing, where each window is crafted to precise measurements.
This custom window replacement approach means a better fit, better performance, and a cleaner installation. While manufacturing takes some time, your project coordinator will keep you updated on the timeline so you always know what to expect.
Step 4: Professional Window Installation
When your windows are ready, our Renewal by Andersen Certified Master Installers will arrive at your home prepared for a smooth, efficient replacement window installation process. Before any work begins, the lead installer will walk you through the plan for the day so you know exactly what’s happening and when.
The installation team takes care to protect your home’s interior, removing old windows carefully and installing your new custom windows with precision. Depending on the scope of your project, most installations are completed in just one day—even in the unpredictable weather that Wisconsin homeowners know all too well.
Every window is checked for proper fit, smooth operation, and a weathertight seal. Our installers don’t cut corners, because a great window is only as good as the installation behind it.
Step 5: The Final Walkthrough
Once installation is complete, you’ll do a final walkthrough with your installer to review every window. This is your opportunity to inspect the work, ask questions about operation and care, and make sure everything meets your expectations.
Your installer will demonstrate how each window opens, closes, and locks, and will walk you through cleaning and maintenance tips to keep your new windows looking and performing their best for years to come.
Step 6: Ongoing Support and Warranty
The window replacement process doesn’t end at installation. Renewal by Andersen backs every project with one of the strongest warranties in the industry, covering glass, materials, installation, and labor. If you ever have a question or concern down the road, our local Wisconsin team is here to help.
Why the Process Matters as Much as the Product
A lot of window companies focus on selling you a product. At Renewal by Andersen, we believe the window replacement process is just as important. When every step is handled with care—from your first call to the final walkthrough—you end up with windows that fit better, perform better, and last longer.
Wisconsin homeowners deserve a replacement experience that respects their time, their home, and their investment. That’s exactly what our start-to-finish process is designed to deliver.
