A surprising mess.
Renewal by Anderson sold us five windows. They put much emphasis on sales - calling several times in advance to be sure we were expecting the in-home visit: a bright, charming young man with an elaborate spiel arrived. As the bid seemed no more than other quotes, and we thought the company's model of custom made and installed windows made sense, we signed up. We paid half up front. After that there was much less urgency from Anderson. Eventually the windows were built and installation was scheduled. The work was so bad it's almost comical: thick, shiny grout smeared as though by a child inside and out, nothing cleaned up from the process including a tar-like substance from the removal of old windows which has smeared & stained the pavers and continues to be caught up in shoes. Exterior cedar trim was replaced with random wood or rescrewed backwards with varying size screws. One large pane of set glass was replaced with a window we didn't order above an old window that was supposed to be but was not replaced - totally different sized windows. I'm so surprised. I can provide photos. The company has now offered to "squeeze us in" next month but will not outline what they mean to do or charge. I think there is a shortage of workers in our area and the extreme heat makes things doubly hard. We are willing to work with them if they would communicate.
