Very happy with our new windows. The salesperson was friendly and very knowledgeable, and the installers were very professional, friendly and cleaned up their work areas. Highly recommend Renewal by Andersen and would use them again.

Sears did not want to make and install two kitchen cabinets I needed. They only wanted to install and replace all new only. That would have cost me thousands of dollars. I finally found a cabinet maker that was more flexible and he built and matched the new cabinets to my satisfaction.
