Replacement Windows

Winilyme · 09-23-2023, 09:36 PM

Hello All. My wife and I have windows on our mind. Our home in CT and cottage in Meredith will require replacement windows soon...especially in CT where we have 13 double hung Anderson windows (wood core, vinyl clad) that have taken on water through lower window seams over many years (I think this is a common experience with that era of Anderson windows). We had the house painted two summers ago and the painter pointed out several areas of significant rot and many other areas with lesser rot of varying degrees. Generally, in the lower sash corners. These north and west facing windows were installed when we built in 1995. We also have 35 casement windows on the south side of our home that have no issues except the cranking mechanisms don't work very well anymore (despite my attempts to clean and lubricate them).

I'm looking at Renewal by Anderson as a turnkey solution I'd prefer - for replacement of the 13 double hungs (I think with composite) and replacement of the casement cranking mechanisms. I'm interested in your experiences and advice - with Anderson windows in general and with the Renewal by Anderson service. I haven't arranged a consultation with them yet.

Thanks.
