Renewal by Andersen has spent the last three decades dedicated to a singular mission: providing superior products and exceptional service to match. Through this journey, we’ve refined our service-first model, evolving from a small sister company into a national leader in home improvement. By having control over the entire process – from the initial design consultation all the way to the final day of installation – we’ve eliminated the middleman and established a new gold standard for the industry.
Read on to discover how a single idea in 1995 revolutionized the home improvement market and why our 31-year journey is only just the beginning.
A Century-Long Legacy of Home Improvement
Our parent company, Andersen Corporation®, has been at the forefront of innovation ever since its founding in 1903. Whether they were crafting the first completely assembled casement window in 1932, developing an entirely new category of wood windows in 1966, or inventing an exclusive composite material in 1991, quality comes first at Andersen.
By the early 1990s, Andersen’s market insights revealed a shifting consumer need. Homeowners didn’t just want a better window they would have to replace themselves – they wanted a better experience, too. Therefore, Andersen needed a partner who could handle the complexity of measuring, customizing, and installing their products.
1995: The Birth of a Full-Service Revolution
That’s when they decided to launch Renewal by Andersen, a start-to-finish approach to replacing windows. What began as just a single store in Minnesota has since turned us into an industry leader, serving more than 100 markets across the United States.
To date, we’ve manufactured more than 12 million windows! But this success wasn’t an accident – it came from a commitment to an all-encompassing customer experience. Instead of hiring multiple subcontractors for each service, we ensure that one company (ours) is responsible for the health of your home. No finger pointing and no unreliable warranties, just an experienced team that you can trust.
How Renewal by Andersen Continues to Build on that Legacy
Backed by over 120 years’ worth of product knowledge and industry experience, we aim to constantly push the boundaries of what a window and door can do through innovation, consistency, and great service.
Innovation Through Every Opening
Since the very beginning, we’ve custom-crafted our own collection of windows and patio door styles. Each unit is packed with a myriad of hardware finishes and high-performance glass options that are designed for our customers’ specific climate conditions.
And that push for innovation continues to this day! In 2025, we reached a significant milestone with the launch of our Ensemble™ Entry Doors. This was a huge step forward in home security and customization, allowing homeowners to show off a beautiful front door while prioritizing their safety.
A Streamlined Process for Long-Term Peace of Mind
We believe a confident homeowner is a happy one, which is why we’ve streamlined our process for the most optimal customer experience:
