When it comes to window replacement, there’s no shortage of confusion and outdated beliefs. At Renewal by Andersen of Jacksonville, Orlando, Pensacola and Tampa/Sarasota, we’re here to set the record straight. Our team meets with homeowners every day who are surprised by what modern replacement windows can really do—especially when it comes to comfort, efficiency, and long-term value.

While new windows can absolutely improve your home’s curb appeal, their real power lies in performance. Renewal by Andersen’s custom-built windows are designed to boost energy efficiency, regulate indoor temperatures, and block harmful UV rays. With our exclusive Fibrex® material and High-Performance Low-E4® SmartSun™ glass, your windows do more than look good—they work hard to protect your home year-round.

Many believe that vinyl, wood, and composite windows offer similar benefits. In reality, Renewal by Andersen’s Fibrex® composite material outperforms them all. It’s stronger than vinyl, requires less maintenance than wood, and offers better insulation than aluminum—making it perfect for the hot, humid climate in Florida.

Homeowners often hesitate because they fear the process will be disruptive. At Renewal by Andersen, we follow a precise four-step process: in-home consultation, professional measurement and custom manufacturing, expert installation by Certified Master Installers, and exceptional customer care. Our team ensures every detail is handled smoothly and with respect for your home—right down to the final cleanup.

Our Coastal and Impact windows offer maximum hurricane protection without sacrificing beauty. Designed to meet strict Florida building codes, these windows offer peace of mind while enhancing the unique charm of your property—even if it’s a historic home over 100 years old.

Some believe energy efficiency is only important in cold-weather states, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. In warm climates like Jacksonville, Orlando, Pensacola and Tampa/Sarasota, energy-efficient windows are essential for keeping homes cooler and reducing energy bills. Our SmartSun™ glass blocks 95% of UV rays and keeps interiors more comfortable, all while lowering your cooling costs.
