Getting Help From the Pros – Going Local vs. National

Do you need to have your patio doors or windows replaced? If you answered yes, then you have two possible options: hire a local contractor, or look for a more popular national option. Both options have their merits, but which one will give you the most value for your money? Read on to find out.

Getting Help From the Pros - Going Local vs. National

Choosing Local Contractors

The biggest advantage of picking a local contractor over a more general national alternative is familiarity. Local contractors operate in your area so they already have an idea of what window or door options you will need. Local contractors also have a physical address a short drive away so discussing your project plans personally is easy. This personal connection with customers is invaluable to the success of most projects.

Going for National Brands

The biggest advantage of picking national brands is the quality and the brand’s reputation itself. A national brand will do everything it can to preserve the reputation it earned, and that involves putting more resources into ensuring the quality of their products. Big brand products are also known to have some of the best warranty coverage, which is always a big plus.

Renewal by Andersen® – A Local, but National Brand

What if there’s a contractor that offers the perks of both local and national brands? That’s exactly what Renewal by Andersen® does. The brand is known throughout the nation, but each of its local branches are able to offer solutions suitable to their location-specific customers.

The Importance of Research and Feedback

Regardless of your options, it’s best to make sure that you do enough research on the contractors you’re planning to hire. After all, you are putting your money, your property and your new doors in their hands. Make sure you check each contractor has good feedback from their previous customers so you can get an idea of what to expect from the contractor.

"I'm getting ready to do my 2nd round of window installation with Anderson Windows. I really appreciate the great financing options that they offer! They have top notch sales and installation experts who are very kind and considerate of their customers' wishes. The windows I have installed look great and I am so excited to get the next group of windows put in. My house looks so much brighter with my new windows. I definitely recommend Renewal by Andersen of St. Louis."

"We recently contracted with Renewal by Andersen to replace 5 windows in our home. First of all, we were very delighted that the time from contract to installation was less than two months. Joel and Craig arrived precisely at the agreed-upon time and spent less than four hours from start to completion of installation, including time to demonstrate opening/closing the windows and any questions we had. We were very pleased with the knowledge and professionalism of Joel and Craig, and, of course, we’re very pleased with the windows and how nice they look. We definitely recommend Renewal by Andersen."

"I replaced my front door and several windows. The install team did a great job with installation and clean up. Even covered floors and stairs. The team was very courteous and did a very professional job. Now our windows look great and we love our new door. I would recommend Renewal by Anderson in a heartbeat."
