What is Fibrex, and how is it different from vinyl?

Fibrex is Andersen's composite — reclaimed wood fiber bound in polymer. It holds its shape in Texas heat better than vinyl, which softens and can bow on a wide west-facing opening, and it lets the frame be narrower for the same strength, so you get more glass and less frame.

How long does a whole-home window replacement take?

Most homes are done in one to two days once the custom windows arrive. Lead time on the windows themselves is typically a few weeks, because every unit is built to your openings.

Will new windows really lower my energy bills?

Customers regularly report noticeably lower summer cooling costs and a quieter house. Savings depend on what you're replacing — single-pane aluminum windows show the biggest change.

Do you handle the permit?

Yes. Where your city requires one, we file it and deal with the inspection.

Why choose a wood-interior window in a climate like ours?

The 400 Series is wood inside, vinyl-clad outside: you get a paintable or stainable interior that matches trim, with a weatherproof exterior that never needs painting. In DFW the cladding is doing the real work — the wood stays conditioned indoor air side.

Worth settling early

Before You Commit to Windows

Match the series to the house. Four Andersen lines cover most situations, from replacing every window at once to matching one awkward architectural opening. The differences are real, and they are worth ten minutes.
Ask what happens at the opening. Flashing and sealing decide whether a wall stays dry. A good window fitted badly leaks exactly like a bad one.
Count the openings. Whole-house replacement usually prices better per opening than doing a few at a time, and it leaves the exterior looking deliberate rather than patched.

How it runs

How a Windows Project Runs

1
A free measure and quote
Every opening is measured individually, because a house rarely has two identical ones. You see the series options side by side and get a firm price.
2
Built to your openings
Andersen builds the units to those measurements, so the installers are not shimming a stock size into a hole it does not fit.
3
Installed and sealed
Our own crews set, flash and seal each unit, then trim inside and out. Most homes are done in a day or two rather than a week.
4
Walkthrough and warranty
We check operation and locks on every window with you, clean up, and hand over the manufacturer warranty alongside ours on the installation.
