There's a moment every homeowner reaches when underperforming windows stop being something you live with and start being something you need to fix. For one homeowner in Trenton, New Jersey, that moment had arrived. Aging windows were letting drafts in, driving energy bills up, and holding back a home that deserved better.
The goal was straightforward: replace the existing windows with something that would perform better, look better, and make the home more comfortable to live in every single day. The customers decided on the Andersen 100 Series and the transformation is stunning!
The Project
The Problem
Old windows have a way of making themselves known — through the draft you feel when you walk past them on a hot summer day, the condensation that builds up on the glass, and the way certain rooms never quite reach the right temperature no matter how hard your HVAC system works. For this Trenton homeowner, those problems had become a part of daily life.
Beyond the comfort and efficiency issues, the existing windows had simply run their course. The home had more potential than its windows were showing, and the homeowner knew it. What was needed wasn't a quick fix — it was a proper replacement done right, with products built to last and an installation team that knew what they were doing.
The Solution: Andersen 100 Series Fibrex® Windows
After consulting with the ACRE Windows & Doors team, the homeowner selected Andersen 100 Series insert windows — a product that would modernize the home's appearance, maximize natural light, and deliver the energy performance needed to make a real difference on the monthly utility bill.
Andersen 100 Series Fibrex® Double Hung Windows
We installed Andersen 100 Series double hung windows across all six openings throughout the home. The 100 Series is built with Andersen's proprietary Fibrex® composite material — a blend of wood fiber and thermoplastic polymer that is twice as strong as vinyl and holds its shape through the temperature extremes that New Jersey homeowners deal with year-round.
The slim Fibrex frame maximizes the glass area, bringing in significantly more natural light than a traditional frame. Both sashes tilt in for easy cleaning — a major convenience for any home with hard-to-reach windows. The Low-E glass and insulated frames keep the heat out in the summer and the cold out in the winter, reducing the load on the home's HVAC system and delivering real savings on monthly energy costs. The clean, classic look works beautifully on virtually any home style.
The Installation Process
Our installation team approached this project with the same care and attention we bring to every job:
- Removed the existing window sashes and assessed each frame opening before any new product went in
- Confirmed each rough opening was structurally sound and ready for insert installation
- Installed all six Andersen 100 Series units with proper insulation and weathersealing at every junction point to eliminate air infiltration
- Finished interior and exterior trim to a clean, professional standard throughout the home
- Conducted a full walkthrough with the homeowner upon completion to confirm every window operated correctly and met their expectations
Every step was completed by our own experienced installation team — no subcontractors, no shortcuts.
The Result: A Home That Looks and Feels Completely Different
The difference was immediate. From the backyard, the home looks refreshed, crisp, and well cared for. Inside, the homeowner noticed a brighter living space and dramatically improved comfort from day one. No more drafts creeping in near the windows. No more rooms that struggle to stay comfortable. And no more dreading the energy bill when it arrives each month.
The view from inside the home — overlooking the backyard pool through six clean, unobstructed panes of glass — says everything about what the right windows can do for a living space. Combined with the sharp exterior finish, the overall result is a house that simply looks and feels like a better version of itself.
