Best Warranty for Replacement Windows – A Homeowner’s Guide

Monday, 22 November 2021 by Lucy Conrad

A Homeowner’s Guide:

Best Warranty for Replacement Windows

 

Looking for the best warranty for replacement windows? Here’s a Homeowner’s Guide to reference while you plan your next home improvement project. Window warranties are a crucial aspect of any window replacement project, and you won’t find deeper warranties than those offered by Renewal by Andersen®. Renewal by Andersen offers one of the strongest window replacement limited warranties you will find.

When searching for replacement windows, you want to be assured that your long-term investment will be protected. Every company has a warranty, but did you know 83% of warranty claims are not covered due to improper installation?

 

Become the Expert – Ensure You Have the Best Warranty for Replacement Windows

To begin with, it is important to read the fine print of a company’s warranty before agreeing to the service. But once your replacement windows are installed, you can be a window expert by looking for these red flags after installation:

  • Daylight peaking around the window
  • Bugs coming into the window
  • Drafty breeze in window
  • Dry-rotted caulking around the outer perimeter
  • Water or moisture leaks

 

Renewal by Andersen Warranty: Scientifically Proven to Stand the Test of Time* and The Best Warranty for Replacement Windows

 

Tired of searching and comparing window replacement companies in the Central Virginia area? We’ve done the research and the good news for you is that Richmond Window Corp. | Renewal by Andersen of Central Virginia offers the nation’s best warranty coverage!  See our competitor comparison chart below then view our warranty options here: Homeowner Warranty

One-Company Accountability

For most homeowners, window replacement isn’t something they’ve done before. And it can get confusing, especially when there are a number of parties involved. Whether you’re replacing a handful of windows, or a whole houseful, it can seem like a daunting task filled with conflicting information, numerous steps, and multiple points of contact throughout the job. Because we manufacture, sell, and install your windows, we stand behind both the product and installation. There’s no finger pointing and no blame shifting. We’ll do everything in our power to make your project easy and remove every worry. And should any issues arise, we will be the ones who will work with you directly.

Take a minute and look around at Better Business Bureau reports on home improvement and remodeling companies from around the country. They’re riddled with complaints about a lack of trust and follow-through, poor communication, and companies’ unwillingness to stand by their offerings.

When we say we’re with you from start to finish and beyond, we mean it. Our industry-leading limited warranty covers the glass, the frame and hardware, and the installation too. It is one of the most robust limited warranties you will find on any window or door, at any price, and it’s non-prorated and fully transferable, should you sell your home.

Warranty for Replacement Windows

† It is the only warranty among top selling window companies that meets all of the following requirements: easy to understand terms, unrestricted transferability, installation coverage, labor coverage, geographically unrestricted, exterior color, insect screens and hardware, and no maintenance requirement. Visit renewalbyandersen.com/nationsbest for details.

 

What makes our warranty the best? See for yourself: 

  • Automatically Transferability – If you sell your home, our warranty transfers immediately and automatically with no action required on your part.
  • No Maintenance Requirements – While some warranties may require you to keep specific maintenance requirements, Renewal by Andersen does not! We do recommend cleaning your windows as needed, it won’t change your warranty.
  • No Geographical Restrictions – Our windows are built for any climate, so you’ll have the same great coverage no matter where you live.
  • Labor Coverage – Renewal by Andersen is a full-service company and our warranty gives you coverage on the product and its labor.
  • Installation Coverage – We have the best team in the industry with our Certified Master Installers, that is why we can stand behind their work. With our warranty, there is never any back-and-forth between the manufacturer and the installer because we cover both!  
  • Easy-to-Understand Terms – We make sure the terms of our warranty are clear so you can relax knowing you’re protected by a proven, trusted company 
  • Additional Benefits – Our accessories and components are also covered by our warranty. Our comprehensive warranty provides additional benefits you won’t find in basic warranties.

Richmond Window Corp Goes Pink for Cancer Awareness Month

Tuesday, 15 October 2019 by Richmond Window Marketing

American Cancer Society logo

Renewal by Andersen Goes Pink

We’re excited to announce that Renewal by Andersen (RbA) is now a national partner with the American Cancer Society!
Richmond Window Corporation – Renewal by Andersen of Central Virginia is proud to join 100 locations across the U.S. in going pink. This October, we are launching our second “Wear Pink, Save Lives” campaign for Cancer Awareness Month.
Last year, the collective RbA network raised more than $207,000 for the American Cancer Society, shattering our goals and making a difference in the lives of people affected by cancer.
This year, we’d like you to help us beat our goal — and beat cancer!
Richmond Window holds this cause very near to our hearts. Many of our team members have loved ones that have struggled against cancer. We are honored to stand in solidarity with them. Cancer doesn’t just affect individual people. It affects whole communities. As a member of the Richmond community since 1954, Richmond Window would like to call on our friends and neighbors to help us raise as much as we can.
This year, RbA is matching a portion of all donations. We would love to see the city of Richmond join us in surpassing the amount we raised last year. With your help, we can make a real difference in the fight against cancer. In 2019, the RbA network hopes to raise $300,000 for the American Cancer Society. The money raised would hugely benefit cancer research, patient care, prevention education, detection, and treatment.
Together, we can save lives.
If you’re interested in donating, visit Renewal by Andersen’s donation page here. Any amount you can give will help us get one step closer to our goal. If you can’t donate at this time, you can still help the cause by spreading the word! We’re so proud to be a part of the fight against cancer, and we thank you for your support.

Renewal by Andersen Awarded the 2019 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year–Sustained Excellence Award

Wednesday, 29 May 2019 by Lucy Conrad

ANDERSEN CORPORATION EARNS 2019 ENERGY STAR® PARTNER OF THE YEAR – SUSTAINED EXCELLENCE AWARD

 

Andersen Corporation, Renewal by Andersen and Richmond Window Corporation continue Energy Efficiency Leadership

Andersen Corporation, including Renewal by Andersen [RbA] and affiliate Richmond Window Corporation, has been named a 2019 ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year – Sustained Excellence Award winner.
The Sustained Excellence Award is the highest honor given by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, ENERGY STAR for continued leadership in superior energy efficiency achievements.
“As one of the largest window and door manufacturers in North America, it is our responsibility to produce durable products that help reduce energy consumption and emissions, lower utility costs, and improve personal health and well-being,” said Jay Lund, chairman and CEO of Andersen Corporation.
“We are proud to have been named a 2019 ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year – Sustained Excellence Award winner and continue our partnership with the ENERGY STAR program, a trusted symbol of energy efficiency.”
 

Andersen and a History of ENERGY STAR® Partnership

Andersen Corporation has been an ENERGY STAR® partner since their windows program began in 1998, becoming the first window manufacturer to earn the ENERGY STAR National Window Partner of the Year in 1999.
This is Andersen Groups fifth Sustained Excellence Award and the tenth time the company has been recognized by the ENERGY STAR program.
“Our customers trust Andersen for beautiful, enduring, high-performing windows and doors that also offer the highest standards of energy efficiency,” said Annie Zipfel, Andersen Corporation’s senior vice president and CMO.
“We are proud to align with the EPA and the ENERGY STAR program to help customers choose energy efficient products and continue to build awareness for the importance of energy efficiency.” 

ENERGY STAR® Partners and Sustained Excellence

The highest honor among ENERGY STAR Awards is the ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year—Sustained Excellence Award. EPA presents the Sustained Excellence Award to partners that have already received ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year recognition for a minimum of two consecutive years and have gone above and beyond the criteria needed to qualify for recognition.
Winners span small, family-owned businesses to Fortune 500 organizations – representing industries like energy-efficient products, services, new homes, and buildings in the commercial, industrial and public sectors.
“I applaud the 2019 ENERGY STAR Award Winners,” said EPA Assistant Administrator for Air and Radiation Bill Wehrum. “Their innovation and leadership enhance America’s economic competitiveness. Reducing costly energy waste improves air quality and public health while protecting the environment.”
 

Reducing the Carbon Footprint

Additionally, Andersen is committed to reducing energy use across its operations, having recently confirmed that the Renewal by Andersen plant in Cottage Grove is now sourcing 100 percent solar energy for its operations.
Andersen Corporation has an enterprise goal to reduce its energy use by 20 percent by 2020, using 2013 as a baseline.

Understanding Condensation

Friday, 08 February 2019 by Lucy Conrad

Managing Moisture, Humidity and Condensation in Your Home.

 

Why is There Condensation on My Windows?

Mary Hutchison

Photo: Mary Hutchison

Condensation appears when warm, moist air comes into contact with cooler surfaces.
This can take many forms, a glass of sweet tea on a summer day comes immediately to mind, but also your window glass separating your warm and cozy forever house on a cold winter’s day.
While condensation is most common during the winter months, it’s also important to note that water accumulation can happen anytime the water vapor in the air is a significantly different temperature than the surface it is coming in contact with.
That established, condensation is usually much more noticeable in the winter, often because it is quite rude in trying to obstruct your view out of your beautiful windows.
The moisture that appears in cold weather on the interior or exterior glass of a window or patio door in your house can obscure the view, even freezing on the glass in icy conditions. Another reason to add to our RVA lists of why snowpocalypse needs to stay up north.
 

My Windows Have Water Collecting on the Inside, is There Something Wrong?

A question we get a lot from our homeowners is concerning condensation on the inside of the window, especially in the cases when new windows begin to collect moisture where old windows did not.
This insightful question has an equally insightful, if counterintuitive answer.
If you are seeing condensation on the inside of your window, you are actually witnessing an indication of the superior quality of this window.
This is because the highest performing windows create better seals and restrict more temperature flow through air leakage in and out of your house when closed, allowing the temperature barrier to be stark enough that condensation gets locked inside your house, then forming on your glass.
 

Where is All This Water Coming From?

Photo: Ryan Hyde

Normal everyday routine can add a surprising amount of indoor moisture to the air inside your home.
Cooking a single meal can add up to two pints of water into the air, every shower the household takes is another half-pint or more, and think of all the steam and vapor that escapes a recently run dishwasher. Every activity that uses water in the household, adds moisture to the air.
Even when you see condensation on windows that aren’t even near the kitchen or bathroom, this is normal practice. Vapor pressure can force moisture through plaster, wood, brick, even cement, leading condensation to occasionally occur far away from the actual source of the moisture in the air.
 

What About Condensation Building Up on the Outside of My Window?

Condensation collected on the outside of the window is actually similar in practice to the dew that collects on your lawn, occurring mostly during the spring and fall due to cooler nights running into warmer days. This is typically a good indicator of energy-efficient windows and a result of superior seals, vapor and temperature barriers.
 

How To Do I Prevent Condensation on My Windows?

Condensation on the inside of your windows, then, is a by-product of humidity in the house. And while some humidity is good, and can make things more comfortable, tame static electricity in carpet, and prevent wood furniture/fixtures from shrinking and cracking, excessive humidity can cause problems in your home—mold or mildew may develop, water seeping into the insulation can freeze and thaw and cause damage to ceilings and walls, etc.
A good rule of thumb (especially if you live somewhere where the winters are typically very cold), is to maintain as high a level of humidity as you need for comfort, taking steps to lower it if you see signs of condensation on the windows. This can be as easy as turning off the humidifier (if you are running one). Other steps you can take to reduce indoor relative humidity include:

  • Cover the earth/dirt floor in your crawlspace with a good vapor barrier.
  • Avoid storing firewood in your home.
  • Limit houseplants and aquariums. If you have houseplants, try and keep them in a single sunny room and do not overwater.
  • Open blinds and drapes.
  • Operate ceiling fans to improve air circulation.
  • Raise the air temperature of the home (turning the heat up with decrease relative humidity).
  • Vent all gas appliances, clothes dryers, and exhaust fans, to the outside.
  • Ensure proper ventilation of attic and crawlspace.
  • Run exhaust fans in the kitchen while cooking and in the bathroom while showering or bathing. Leave it running for 15-20 minutes after you’re finished or until the bathroom mirror glass clears).

Richmond Window in the Community

 
We shared stories and showcased pictures and videos of our team and other Renewal by Andersen offices as we flooded our workplaces with pink, promoting awareness and taking time to raise up survivors and their loved ones!
During October, we also hosted a National Fundraiser with proceeds going to The American Cancer Society to combat Breast Cancer and the impact this disease has on families all over our nation.
 

 
 

Giving Thanks as We Enter the Thanksgiving Season

Thank you to our wonderful employees and homeowners here in Virginia, and Renewal by Andersen affiliates all around the United States. Together, we raised 138% of our $150,000 goal for the American Cancer Society – that’s over $200,000 dollars!


 
Seeing the flood of support using our #RenewalCares hashtag, hearing this support in person from homeowners both old and new to the Richmond Window family, and seeing the team bring ‘Pink’ into the workplace and the field has left us full of thanks.

We are thankful for our great team here at Richmond Window, our homeowners who have supported us through our 64 years here in Richmond, and the community of Central Virginia we are honored to call home.

Back in Black: New Interior Color from Renewal by Andersen

Tuesday, 31 July 2018 by Lucy Conrad

Sophisticated. Versatile. Timeless.


As part of Richmond Window’s ongoing goal to give our customers premium windows that perfectly complement and beautifully accent any room, we are excited to announce our new interior color option: Black.
Our new Black interior Renewal by Andersen® windows are currently available exclusively as a single color combination (Black interior with Black exterior). This combination, especially when complemented with our Black interior patio doors, opens new opportunities for you to enjoy the timeless style that Black windows bring.
Regularly utilized by architects and celebrated home designers, Black interior windows will:

  • Add Elegance to any room
  • Highlight the View from any window
  • Create Contrast to emphasize other interior and exterior colors
  • Compliment any architectural style and period
  • Perfectly Pair with any décor

 

Hardware

Your new Black interior windows and patio doors can look even more consistent as we are introducing them alongside a new hardware finish option. Black hardware has been added to the standard hardware offering for all operable window styles!
Along with being the standard hardware option for all single color Black operating windows, Black hardware is also a classic stylistic accent to many of our other interior color options, providing you even more options to discover better windows to perfectly fit your project.
 

Fibrex Material

We target one primary goal in all our replacement window innovation: to give you an unparalleled premium window for your home.
This goal led us to design our new interior color hand-in-hand with our innovative Fibrex® material, striving to have your windows look as good in your room as they perform for your home.
This material is extremely low maintenance because it does not rot and decay or peal and flake. Its color also stays beautiful through the life of the window – as the color is manufactured as part of the material, never a “painted on” afterthought.
This sustained beauty of our color options is a direct result of the unique Fibrex® material. Fibrex® is a wood plastic composite that expands and contracts very little, even in extreme temperature swings, allowing darker colors to have sustained beauty through the life of the window!
 

Energy Efficiency

Between our energy efficient glass options, the natural superior insulation of our exclusive Fibrex® material, and the expert installation from our Renewal by Andersen certified Master Installers, you can rest easy knowing you have the only window company with the SCS Global Services Indoor Advantage Gold™ certification for Indoor Air Quality and the cost-saving power of ENERGY STAR® certified windows protecting your home.
 

Durability

Our exclusive Fibrex® material couples the strength and raw beauty of wood, with the low maintenance and convenience of vinyl. This is because Fibrex® is comprised of 40% wood fiber and 60% proprietary polymer, giving it twice the strength of vinyl and resistance to damage from any climate.
Fibrex® composition of real wood fiber leads to this durable, lasting frame, while the polymer allows us to warrantee your window frame not to flake, rust, blister, peel, crack, pit, or corrode.
This material difference and superiority allows Renewal by Andersen to offer one of the best warranties in the industry.
 
 

Environmental Sustainability

Energy Star Award 2017, Partner of the Year in Sustained Excellence
Along with color, design, and lifestyle benefits, the environmental benefits of how we make Fibrex® material has earned Andersen and Renewal by Andersen products many environmental certifications for leadership in preventing harmful off-gassing in indoor environments and for reclaiming / reusing materials to reduce environmental waste impact.
Our Black interior windows will also take advantage of our innovative glass solutions that are specially designed for Virginia’s hot, humid summers to our cold, snow-punctuated winters with a range of glass patterns and tempered glass options available.
Renewal by Andersen was named a 2017 ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year – Sustained Excellence Award Winner, which is the highest honor given for continued leadership in protecting the environment through superior energy efficiency, and has been an ENERGY STAR® partner for almost 20 years.

4 Window Styles That Will Boost Your Home’s Curb Appeal

Tuesday, 27 March 2018 by Jennifer

If you can only undertake one project this year to boost your home’s curb appeal – and potential resale value – consider replacing your windows. Windows are at eye level, they are instantly visible from the curb and – if you choose the right style – they can change an ordinary exterior into something extraordinary. Here are some of our recommended window styles that are sure to boost your home’s curb appeal.

1. Double-Hung Windows
The double-hung may be the most typical window style, but its strength lies in its versatility. Double-hung windows complement nearly any architectural style, can be customized with any combination of grilles, colors and finishes, and, most importantly, they do all this without sacrificing performance. We offer a wide selection of colors, from classic white to our new elegant black finish, so you can design a window that complements the other exterior elements of your home.
2. Bay and Bow Windows
Homeowners who want rich elegance for their exterior should choose bay or bow windows for their curb-facing windows. These window styles create a protrusion that extends the exterior visually and physically. Both window styles allow ample natural light into the home. Thanks to our High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass, you can stop worrying about the unwanted effects of sunlight, like UV rays that fade your valuables and heat from the sun.
3. Picture Windows
If you’re after a sleek, clean, modern look, choose picture windows. This window style is intended to frame a view from the inside, but it also adds a clean, uninterrupted expanse of glass to an otherwise ordinary wall – perfect for contemporary architectural styles. It is also our most energy efficient window style, maximizing indoor comfort while minimizing your home’s energy consumption.
4. Specialty Windows
Specialty windows, like picture windows, are fixed windows that come in specialty shapes, from a perfect circle to polygons. Specialty windows can be installed as standalone units, like gable windows, or in combination with other window styles. As all of our windows are custom, we can help you create a combination that’s perfectly tailored to the look of your home.
To learn more about our curb appeal-boosting window styles call Richmond Window Corp. today. We’re proud to schedule free in-home consultations in Richmond, Fredericksburg, Charlottesville, Chesterfield, and throughout Central VA!

Top Window Trends for 2018

Thursday, 08 March 2018 by Jennifer

Looking for ways to combine style and functionality in your home upgrade projects this year? Investing in window replacements is a surefire way to achieve both.
Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency and sustainability are buzzwords in the home improvement industry. Homeowners are increasingly prioritizing energy efficiency in their home upgrades, both as a means to live more sustainably and to cut down on utility bills. In fact, purchasing products with ENERGY STAR® certification has become a must for many homeowners. At Renewal by Andersen, we are proud to offer ENERGY STAR-certified products that will greatly improve your home’s efficiency and comfort; when outfitted with SmartSun™ glass, our windows can reduce energy bills by as much as 25%.

Black Hues
The neutral shades of black and white will always be in style, but in 2018, you can expect to see a surge in the popularity of black windows. Black-on-black replacement windows are an excellent addition to both contemporary and traditional homes. They can be dramatic or, when combined with white trim, more subtle, creating a modern farmhouse look. Renewal by Andersen features replacement windows in black as well as several other dark and dramatic hues.

Expansive Glass
Last year, big windows that let abundant sunlight into your home were trending, and 2018 will be no different. The growth in outdoor living has homeowners investing in glass walls, lift-and-slide doors, and large groups of windows mulled together. From expansive views to increased daylight, the benefits of broad glass spaces in windows make them highly appealing to homeowners. Renewal by Andersen has a beautiful selection of window styles for homeowners who prefer less frame and more glass; the strength of Renewal by Andersen’s composite framing material, Fibrex®, allows thinner frames to be used.
Whether you’re following the latest window trends, or simply want a window that will look and perform flawlessly for years, you’ll find just what you need at Richmond Window Corp. Why not schedule a free in-home consultation today?
