I just received a shocking quote from Renewal by Andersen for 6 windows and 2 doors, totaling $30,000! I'm really taken aback. Are their products worth that much? If not, what are some good alternatives in terms of windows and doors? I really don't want to be taken advantage of here. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated!

From my experience, windows and doors are indeed pricey, but it sounds like Renewal is definitely overcharging. I recently did some work myself and still spent around $5,000 for just a few windows and doors. If you're seeking quality, make sure to stick with a local company that has solid reviews. It's super important to avoid those companies that offer financing but might sneak in a lien on your home!
Yeah, $30,000 definitely sounds high! I just got quoted $10,415 for 6 windows and a sliding door from a local company. Shopping around locally is usually the best bet to get a fair price. Definitely ask for multiple quotes before deciding.
Honestly, it’s not uncommon for Renewal by Andersen to charge high prices. You might want to avoid big-name companies like them and instead look for local contractors who focus on window and door installations; they can often provide better quality products at a more reasonable price. Brands like Andersen 400 Series or Marvin Elevate could be good options—you’ll likely save a ton and get a better deal. Just a tip: don’t mention to other companies that you got a quote from Renewal, or they might hike their prices on you!
While I see your point on not going with big companies, they do have their place. It really depends on what type of windows and doors you're considering. If they’re high-end, like specialized triple-glazed doors, the price might be justified. More details would help here!
