Door arrived damaged. Tried calling he "support" number but no one spoke clear english. tried to explain that the door was damage and needed a new one sent. The repstated that they could not hear me and to repeat my name and number. I obliged and again, the rep stated they could not hear me yet everything I said outside of the claim was CLEARLY heard and replied to. It appears that Anderson has outsourced its "SUPPORT" to avoid claims and/or support. Now I have to pay a legal fee to get a new door or my money back. What a buch of BS. Will go back to Larson as I had no issues with them. If you have not purchased yet, GO BUY LARSON and avoid Anderson at all costs. Of course, unless you want hours of being on the phone to only be ignored and out of your money. Details can be provided to substantiate this review upon request.

I bought a storm door and the…
I bought a storm door and the instructions for right and left hand doors are intermingled and not clear at all as to which is which. The quality of the door is just as shoddy as their windows while somehow being even more expensive. I would recommend you go and buy from a more reputable brand and save yourself the extra cost and headache that dealing with this terrible company brings.

Andersen storm door
Ever since I got the Andersen storm door installed January 13 2023
By spring problems started.
1. Lock mechanism loose
Frequent calls 1nd complaints to place of purchase Home Depot resulted in lukewarm assistance and installation person kept ignoring what I said about difficulty opening door.
2. Before long door did not open at all. I could neithzr get in or out of the house.
I feared that I would have to call the fire department. One Year Warranty expired with Home Depot and 10 Year Warranty with Andersen still valid.
3. After numerous and frantic attemps to contact Andersen for help a responder assisted by telephone how to remove mechanism of door lock. Sent new mechanism but not installed.
4. However door continued to not open
Frame jams in cold and heat.
Have resort to using tool to pry door open and kick it!
5. Very unsafe conditions. Door visibly broken is invitation for intruders. Have keep a small towel to prevent door from fully closing.
Safety matter in case of fire etc.
6. Andersen not responding to malfunctioning door.. require new door.
7. In crisis.
8. Never recommend Andersen door to anyone.
Nighmare situation still going on.

The worst cheap soon to be defective…
The worst cheap soon to be defective products you will ever spend good money on. After the window or door falls apart, call Anderson and you will get TERRIBLE customer service. Recently a local tv station did a story on my experience buying Anderson junk garbage products and I was told it will be picked up by national outlet. I hope so, then more people will know their false adds are full of lies, Anderson is junk.

Our worst nightmare!
We first met the Andersen Windows salesperson in August 2023. He was nice, professional, and knowledgeable about the products. After reviewing his proposal, we felt the estimate to replace the windows in our home was way overpriced, but we agreed that we needed at least 2 picture windows where most of the sun's rays came into our home. We agreed to replace 2 custom windows, and they were to be installed on January 8, 2024... almost 5 months after we met with the salesperson! The installers came on Jan. 8th, opened our new windows (they were very large), for the front of our home, and 1 of the windows was the WRONG DESIGN!! After all the months of waiting, one window was the wrong one! We couldn't believe our eyes! So, back to the factory it went! The next installation dates were April 17th - 18th. What a DISASTER!! In a nutshell, here is what happened! The two old windows "exploded" when they were removed by the workers who were sent to our home! The explosion set off the "smoke detectors" in our entire home! The glass damaged our HARDWOOD FLOORS in our living room to the tune of $525.00!!! The workers FAILED to properly cover our hardwoods, and one of them was actually "pulling a large garbage can" across our floor! I was livid! After the 2nd day of installs, the SAME TEAM was told to do the "stucco" repairs around both windows. DISASTER #2!!! Our stucco had to be REDONE 3 TIMES + Painted 3 times before it was finally done correctly! The installation workers, who barely spoke a word of English, communicated that they "didn't really know how to do stucco," and apologized for the major mess-up! They dripped stucco on our front porch pavers and stained them PERMANENTLY!! The stucco also dripped on our red front doors! We kept hearing the words, "I'm so sorry," both from the Hispanic installers, AND from the Andersen folks! Our next "Andersen Service" was scheduled for May 29, and I believe it was June 12th before the RbA mgr. came to be sure we were ok with the finished product! However, during the interim time, RbAndersen had reported to the finance company, Green Sky, that they had completed our job in APRIL, and that we should go ahead and begin our payments! What a LIE that was! We didn't even get the city of Orlando's final inspection until mid-June! This meant I had to fight my battle with Green Sky because RENEWAL BY ANDERSEN ACCOUNTING DEPT. WOULD NOT GO TO BAT FOR US TO CORRECT THEIR ERROR!! RbA nearly cost us our SPOTLESS CREDIT RATING by their incompetencies! I was calling their offices nearly every single day, and once the windows were installed, they REFUSED to return my calls, texts, and e-mails! You should SEE the folder I have that contains all of MY communication with no follow-up by RbA supervisors, or anyone else! Thankfully, Green Sky launched their OWN investigation into why RbA had reported that our project was completed in April 2024! That got the people at RbA on their heels, and they FINALLY reached out to us. I informed them that Green Sky was wonderful to help us, and that we no longer needed help from RbA!!! This whole project was a NIGHTMARE for us! Oh, and one other point ... when RbA first sent someone out to measure for our new windows, the guy had to come a 2nd time because he had measured incorrectly the first time! THAT should have raised "red flags" for us, but we just let it go! Oh, how we wish we had stopped the entire process that day!! Our windows are in, they look very nice, FINALLY,... our floors are repaired, and we were reimbursed the $525 we spent to get them redone. But we would NEVER, EVER USE RENEWAL BY ANDERSEN - ORLANDO, FL to do ANY work for us again!! We are just thankful that this 10-month nightmare is over!!! Now, we're watching our "electricity bills!" Of course, we were told that our energy bills would noticeably decrease! It's only been 1 month, but we didn't see much difference at all. Hopefully, that will change!

My wife and I purchased Andersen E Series windows and last month had them installed throughout our house. Our E Series windows are double hung, aluminum exterior, stained wood interior. I wish I could say the windows’ quality is what we had hoped for.
Issues with the windows include: split and checked wood, outside daylight showing through sash joints, raised and porous wood grain to the point it is very rough to the touch and difficult to clean, inadequate filling of nail and staple joints, and a stain color that is nowhere close to the sample provided.
The only thing more disappointing than the quality of the windows is Andersen Corporation’s Senior Field Service Manager’s response when he came on Aug. 6, 2024, and inspected the windows. The Service Manager acknowledged the rough finish on the windows and the raised grain. The service manager’s suggested fix was replacing the sashes only, with unfinished sashes to be stained the correct color, but leaving the rough finished wrong color frames which won’t match the new sashes. The Service Manager apologized that the solution he is offering is incomplete. The last communication I received from the Service Manager was on Aug. 7, 2024.
We went to show rooms and talked to previous customers before ordering these windows. I understand sometimes things go wrong. At those times it is very important to know how these problems are addressed and rectified.
Please forward to your friends. If you, a family member, or a friend is in the process of looking at Andersen windows, message me and I will set up a time for you to take a look at the windows they have sold us. They are not the show room pretty samples they parade out to their customers. Our windows are what Andersen’s quality control allows to be sent out to its customers. Come to our house, inspect for yourself before committing. Our window package installed was $48,000+. I expected more from Andersen than an incomplete solution. #windows

Installed a high end Anderson Window
Installed a high end Anderson Windows (13) about 10 years ago. Starting a year after they were installed the cranking operators started to strip. In the 10 years I've had to replace the cranking unit on all he windows, some of them are on their 3rd replacement. Contacted Anderson regarding the problem. Their response was we do not cover labor to replace the cranking unit. If this had been the first time I would have understood. This has been an ongoing problem. It would seem apparent to me this is an issue of 1) poor design, poor manufacturing, poor materials or poor construction. Anderson is failing to stand behind their product. To add insult to injury my wife did not want Anderson windows and felt Hurd, Marvin or Pella where better constructed. Now every time a cranking unit fail I have to live with "I told you so". Would not recommend Anderson to anyone.

Awful customer service
Storm door purchased at the big box store was junk. The opening for the glass was too wide resulting in the lower glass falling out.
Their oversea's customer service is even worse. After nearly 10 days of bickering back and forth they finally agreed to replace the door. Now they expect me to take a warranty document to the big box store so they can order the replacement. Why they can't facilitate this directly is incomprehensible.
Stay away for Anderson, the products are garbage and the overseas customer service department sucks!
