Every so often a project comes along that touches nearly every room in the house. This one, in Middletown, New Jersey, is a great example. From bedrooms and bathrooms to the family room and kitchen, this homeowner replaced windows and doors throughout the home, upgrading to Andersen products across the board and creating a more comfortable, better connected living space in every room the work touched.
The Project (Before & After)
The Problem
Homes built years ago often carry the same window and door units for decades, long after those units have stopped performing the way they should. In this case, the homeowners were dealing with aging windows and doors throughout multiple rooms, from the bedrooms and office to the kitchen and family room. Rather than replace one or two problem areas and leave the rest for another day, they decided to take on the project as a whole, upgrading everything at once.
That kind of scope requires careful planning. Every room has different needs, whether it's privacy and safety glass in a bathroom, a clear view out to the backyard from the kitchen, or a wide sliding door connecting an interior living space to the outdoors. This project called for the right product in the right place, room by room.
The Solution: Andersen 400 Series and 100 Series Products Throughout the Home
After consulting with the ACRE Windows & Doors team, the homeowners chose a mix of Andersen 400 Series double hung windows and Andersen 100 Series picture windows and sliding glass doors, finished with a dark bronze exterior and white interior for a clean, consistent look across the entire home.
Bedrooms and Office The first bedroom received two Andersen 400 Series double hung windows, and the office received one as well, each finished with interior casing for a polished, finished look from inside the room.
Primary Bedroom The primary bedroom was upgraded with an Andersen 100 Series sliding glass door, giving direct, easy access to the outdoors right from the room.
Bathrooms Both bathrooms in the home received Andersen 400 Series double hung windows. One was fitted with tempered safety glass, an important detail for window placement in bathrooms where added glass strength is required.
Family Room The family room saw one of the larger upgrades in the home, with two Andersen 100 Series picture windows finished with grids between the glass in a colonial pattern, plus an Andersen 100 Series sliding glass door. Together, these units bring in significantly more natural light and open the room up to the backyard.
Kitchen The kitchen received the most extensive upgrade of all: two Andersen 100 Series picture windows with colonial grids between the glass, an Andersen 100 Series sliding glass door, and an Andersen 400 Series double hung window, all finished with interior casing. Between the wide sliding door and the surrounding windows, the kitchen now has a strong connection to the backyard and pool, with natural light pouring in throughout the day.
The Installation Process
A project spanning this many rooms and product types requires a methodical approach. Our installation team worked through the home systematically:
- Assessed each room individually, confirming the correct product, size, and glass configuration for every window and door before removal began.
- Removed the existing windows and doors throughout the home, room by room, to keep the project organized and minimize disruption to the homeowners' daily routine.
- Installed the Andersen 400 Series double hung windows in the bedrooms, office, and bathrooms, with proper flashing, insulation, and weathersealing at every opening, including tempered glass where required for safety.
- Installed the Andersen 100 Series sliding glass doors in the primary bedroom, family room, and kitchen, each verified for smooth operation and a tight seal.
- Installed the Andersen 100 Series picture windows in the family room and kitchen, including the colonial-pattern grids between the glass for a classic, cohesive look throughout those spaces.
- Finished all interior casing and trim work to a clean, professional standard in every room, tying the entire project together.
Every step, from the first room to the last, was completed by our own experienced installation team. No subcontractors were brought in at any point.
The Result: A Home Upgraded from Top to Bottom
With the project complete, this Middletown home now has consistent, high-performing Andersen windows and doors from the bedrooms to the kitchen. The dark bronze exterior finish gives the home a cohesive, updated look from the street, while the white interior and colonial grid details keep the inside feeling classic and bright. The new sliding glass doors in the primary bedroom, family room, and kitchen give the homeowners easy access to their backyard and pool from three different living spaces, and the new double hung and picture windows throughout the rest of the home bring in far more natural light than the original units ever did.
It's the kind of project that doesn't just fix a few problem spots. It touches the entire home, room by room, and the difference shows everywhere.
