You don’t have to live in Long Island for long to become intimately familiar with the six seasons: spring, deer tick season, summer, biting fly season, autumn, mosquito season, and winter. But living in this area doesn’t have to mean inviting the no-see-ums inside every year—or keeping your windows perpetually closed.
Even though we’re in the middle of summer when we mostly keep the windows closed and the air conditioning on, we know that nothing compares to the fresh breeze coming through an open window during cool summer evenings or those refreshing days of late spring and early fall. And with the right window screens, you’ll never have to worry that the fresh air will bring with it an assortment of tiny uninvited guests. Renewal by Andersen of Long Island can help you upgrade your existing windows or replace them entirely with cutting-edge insect screens you’ll love.
1. Renewal by Andersen of Long Island Screens are Different
Some window screens technically do the job—but they only keep some insects out. Wider-gauge holes allow small insects to sneak through even when perfectly installed. Older windows also tend to have subpar screens that are unnecessarily bulky (read: unattractive), yet not fine enough to keep out tiny insects.
Renewal by Andersen’s screens offer a step above the competition. They give you a clearer view, so you see more of the outdoors and less dark, obtrusive screen. And they keep out even the tiniest insects, so you won’t have to worry about leaving your windows open to uninvited guests any time of year.
All of our custom-built windows come standard with glass fiber screens, a fantastic option that far surpasses older screen styles. If you want an even more impressive upgrade, TruScene insect screens make a stunning option.
Practically invisible, TruScene screens showcase your view impeccably—while doubling as protection against tiny invaders.
2. Simplify Your Cleaning & Maintenance Routine
A window upgrade does more than add function and style to your home; it can also revolutionize your maintenance routine. Replacement windows are often many times easier to clean than the windows they’re replacing, and screens are no different!
Our window screens can be installed and removed easily; just pull them off and wipe them down with rubbing alcohol, vinegar, or a commercial cleaner like Mr. Clean to have them looking sparkling new again. Cleaning your screens each season also adds to the life span of your windows and allows you to identify any damage early, before it’s irreparable.
3. Where are Screens Installed?
Every non-fixed window our craftsmen replace comes standard with glass fiber insect screens; it’s just part of the Renewal by Andersen package. So whether you’ve chosen casement windows, awning windows, sliders, or double-hung windows, you won’t have to worry about pests—at least none coming from your newly-updated windows! You’ll love the versatility and beauty of your new window screens no matter where in the house you decide to have them installed.
Even custom windows are candidates for new insect screens; with every custom window we install, we’ll design a screen to fit perfectly and complement it beautifully, whether you’d prefer the glass fiber or TruScene option. Not sure which to choose? Our experts will walk you through the process and let you see, touch, and handle each type of screen so you feel confident in your choice.
4. Make an Investment That Keeps Paying You Back For Years
We realize that replacement windows and screens can be a big investment, especially if you’re updating your entire home. Renewal by Andersen doesn’t skimp on quality when it comes to window and screen replacement options, and they stand behind their products. Each replacement insect screen includes a 20/2/10 limited warranty, as do all non-glass and non-Fibrex components of your replacement windows.
You’re protected against factory defects in craftsmanship and materials for 10 years from the date of purchase, and any warranty claims include installation as well as the actual parts needed for repair. That means you won’t have to worry about unexpected out-of-pocket expenses if something goes awry with your new windows; it’s already taken care of.
