Daylight Saving Time

Don't forget to set your clocks an hour ahead on Sunday, March 10th!

Daylight Savings time just happens to be in a couple of days, on March 10th @ 2 am. 

I didn't even hear about it until earlier this week! With more and more technology coming out, we don't have to remember things like this. Cell phones, clocks, computers, and tablets all change on their own.


I was curious, what could I find about Daylight? I found it interesting to learn about the different changes that took place during the war, energy use, economic effects, public safety, health and the correct terminology.

Window installers were fantastic! The installer even came back to install a board to even-off the window with the siding on the house. The return visit was fast and even after doing an installation in another state, he had time to come back in the late afternoon to finish a request I made with the board. Also, he was very helpful with suggestions on nail-hole filling. The gentlemen deserves a raise for being so helpful, conscientious and fast to complete a request. Plan to have another window replaced next year. Hope I get the same sales rep and installers."

M.F., Bloomfield Hills - "Very professional and complete"

D.R., Wayne - "Great salesperson who followed up on the job when completed. Installers were very friendly and knew their job well. They replaced some rotten wood and didn't add a penny to the bill. Put drop cloths down prior to starting any work and clean up was awsome. Thanks"

Renewal by Andersen Offers Tips to Simplify the Process

Windows play an integral role in your home. Beauty, comfort and increased energy efficiency are all excellent reasons to replace your old windows. Plus, when windows are leaky and don’t work properly, they can be frustrating to operate.

Window shopping, however, can be trying for some consumers, especially considering the maze of choices. Experts at Renewal by Andersen offer consumers these window-shopping tips to simplify the process:

• Work with trained window experts.
Trained window experts will help you understand a window's performance, answer questions about energy efficiency and provide sound advice about your window replacement project.

• Choose high-quality windows with a reliable warranty.
Carefully read the warranty information before you purchase your windows. Consider asking the following questions about the warranty: How long does it last? Does it include installation? What is excluded from the warranty? Is it fully transferable?

• Choose windows that are custom-made to exact measurements.
To maximize performance and provide long-term energy efficiency, a replacement window must fit well in the opening. Choose replacement windows that are custom-built to precisely fit each window opening in your home.


• Use professional installers.
Installation is a key component to any window replacement project. Even the highest quality windows will underperform if installed incorrectly. Choose installers that can provide technical expertise and judgment for determining the best installation method. Better yet, choose a company that includes installation as a key part of their window replacement process with installation included in their warranty.

• Choose low-maintenance windows.
Windows made from composite materials can be a good option for homeowners who like the look and strength of wood windows but also want the low-maintenance features of vinyl. Composite windows don’t need ongoing staining or painting to maintain their natural beauty, saving time and money.


“Renewal by Andersen makes it easy for homeowners to purchase high-quality, energy efficient replacement windows,” said Paul Delahunt, president of Renewal by Andersen. “Our experts can help homeowners every step of the way, from choosing the right replacement windows for their home, manufacturing those windows, and installing them. By selecting a professional company that can handle their entire replacement project start-to-finish, homeowners can sit back, relax, and let us do all the work.”
