Renewal By Anderson Warranty 2026
Overall, the Renewal By Anderson warranty is not as strong as I would like for the average consumer. The company makes a lot of claims about how much stronger their fibrex windows vs vinyl are so I’m confused why they don’t put their money where their mouth is. To be sure, the RbA warranty has some nice features and provisions such as the two year labor warranty. However, overall, I feel like this warranty is less impressive than I would expect for Renewal by Anderson prices and quotes.

In term of labor costs, the RbA warranty offers 2 years that they will replace or repair the windows and/or doors free of charge. Please note that all warranty timelines are from the installation date. Lastly, homeowners may transfer the Renewal warranty to another owner. Also, the warranty terms, provisions, and timelines still apply to the new owner. This is a decent feature in an otherwise kind of unimpressive warranty.

"Dane, I have bids for 23 double hung windows in the sunny NC Piedmont. Our current vinyl windows are 22 years old and generally in good shape, but 12 panes now have seal leakage and fogging."
"Argo Glass & Windows quoted us $4,476 to replace 12 panes with certified IG argon glass and a 20 year warranty. Interestingly, their salesman actually recommended repair instead of full replacement because our current windows are still in decent condition."
"We also received bids on Window World 4000 series double hungs, Window World TG2 triple pane, ProVia Endure through Zen, and Renewal By Andersen."
"Lastly, we have a bid from Renewal @$2674/e ($61,502 total). However, this was just too expensive for us to even consider (love the windows though)."

Editor's Advice:
Dewayne, first off, I agree with you on the RbA quote — way too expensive.
So I guess the first question is really repair or replace. If this is your forever home, then replacement might make the most sense because eventually you will likely need to address all of the windows anyway. You might as well get them all done in one fell swoop for continuity and the overall “one and done” approach.
However, if this isn't your forever home, I actually like the repair option. Obviously, it's much less money out of your pocket and it comes with a 20 year warranty. Since your current windows are still in decent condition, you are getting pretty solid value there.
Maybe in 8 years you repair the remaining 9 panes and still spend less than half the cost of a full replacement project.
Plus, by that time you may have moved on to a new home anyway. The return on investment for replacement windows honestly isn’t all that great unless you’re planning on staying long term.
I think that’s probably the best approach for your situation. Let me know what you decide to do!
