Why "Andersen Certified" matters

It's not marketing language. It's a competency standard with real warranty and performance consequences.

Warranty preservation

Andersen's product warranty has specific installation requirements. A non-certified installer who skips the sill pan, uses high-expansion foam in the jambs, or misses the head flashing voids your coverage. Andersen Certified install means the warranty pays out the way the brochure promises.

Engineered performance

The NFRC numbers on the label assume proper installation. Air leakage, U-factor, and seal life all degrade when the install is wrong. Certified installers hit the spec the engineering team designed for — that's the difference between a 30-year window and a 10-year one.

Colorado-spec install

Andersen's training covers the standard install. We add Colorado-specific touches: altitude-rated seals, capillary tubes where needed, freeze-thaw flashing techniques, hail-impact glass packaging. The combination matters at 6,300 feet in ways it doesn't matter at sea level.

Every Andersen series, installed by certified hands

From budget-friendly Fibrex to fully-custom architectural — we install across the Andersen product line and help you match the right series to your home.

Important Distinction

We're not Renewal by Andersen, and we're not an Andersen dealer.

Renewal by Andersen is Andersen's premium-priced full-service subsidiary. They sell only their own line. We're independent — Andersen certified, not Andersen owned.

What that means for you: Andersen quality, all Andersen series available, factory-spec installation that keeps your warranty intact — at independent-contractor pricing, installed by a family-owned Colorado Springs company.

Andersen Certification FAQ

What does "Andersen Certified" actually mean? expand_more
Andersen Certified Contractors complete Andersen's factory training program on installation standards specific to each product series. The certification covers proper sill-pan flashing, sealant application, fastener patterns, insulation around the rough opening, and finish detailing. The result: the window performs the way Andersen's engineering predicts, and the Andersen product warranty stays intact. A non-certified installer can void the warranty with one bad install.
Are you an Andersen dealer or an Andersen-owned company? expand_more
Neither. Dream Windows and Doors is an independent, family-owned Colorado company that's been Andersen Certified to install Andersen products. We're not Renewal by Andersen (Andersen's premium-priced full-service subsidiary), and we're not a franchise. You get Andersen quality at independent-contractor pricing, installed by people who live in Colorado Springs.
Which Andersen series do you install? expand_more
We install across the Andersen product line — 100 Series (Fibrex composite, budget-friendly), 200 Series (wood-clad), 400 Series (the workhorse, most popular for Colorado homes), A-Series (premium, architectural), and E-Series (fully custom, full-architectural). The right series depends on your home, your budget, and what your HOA allows. We walk all of that during the free consultation.
Does Andersen Certified installation cost more? expand_more
No. Andersen Certified installers don't charge a premium for the credential — it's a competency standard, not a fee. Andersen-certified install is required to preserve the Andersen warranty, so if a competing quote is dramatically cheaper, ask whether the installer is certified and whether the warranty will survive their work.
How do I verify your certification? expand_more
Andersen maintains a public directory of certified contractors at locations.andersenwindows.com. You can search for Dream Windows and Doors in Colorado Springs and see our credential listed directly on Andersen's corporate site. We're also happy to show you the certification documents in person during your consultation.
