With spring weather and storms on the horizon, homeowners may be thinking about the cost and hassle of replacing windows. Hometown Window and Door Company is a locally owned business that provides central Indiana residents with a wide range of exterior household services.
The company is an authorized dealer of Andersen products, the largest window and door manufacturer in North America.
“Andersen is a household name. It was founded the same year that Ford was founded, in 1903. People associate Andersen with quality and with a product that lasts,” says Udi Abdelhak, Hometown sales manager. “For a normal dealership, the focus is on the product. We focus on the full-service residential replacement model. We spend most of our time and attention on measuring, ordering, installing, warranting and servicing every window that we sell. Our focus is unique for an Andersen dealer.”
Hometown Window and Door Company also services patio doors and entry doors. The company offers full custom entry doors with dozens of wood grains, stains, paints and configurations, and is expanding its roofing and siding lines.
“We do a lot of out-of-the-box work, like four-seasons rooms, conversions to sunrooms and home add-ons. We can pretty much say ‘yes’ to any customer on anything exterior they want to do,” Abdelhak says.
In addition to residential homes, Hometown Window and Door Company updated the windows in the Hamilton County Courthouse last year and will work on the Henry County Courthouse in New Castle in 2026.
“There are historic districts and homeowners associations where it’s difficult to get a window approved, and that’s why having access to all five Andersen window lines is helpful to get the right fit for any specific situation,” Abdelhak says.
These include the energy-efficient A-series window with a fiberglass exterior sash, the customizable E-series, which can be made as large as 8-by-10 feet, and the Fibrex 100 series window, which features a composite-based extruded frame and offers an alternative to vinyl windows.
Abdelhak advises that vinyl windows often last only five to 10 years, as the plastic material expands and contracts with seasonal temperature changes. Even wooden frames are not immune and can pull away from the wall and begin leaking air. In addition to lowering utility bills, new windows can also provide protection from the sun.
“Ultraviolet rays that pass through windows can damage carpet, flooring, furniture and art, and can heat up a room. Andersen frames and glass block more than 98% of harmful UV rays that come in through the window,” he says.
Homeowners may think they need to replace all of their windows at once for them to match, but that is often not the case. Abdelhak says that nine times out of 10, they can match existing windows so customers don’t have to replace anything unnecessarily.
“We are a unique, small business out of Hamilton County. We don’t play games with pricing, and we don’t show 10 different prices and then discount heavily to get people’s business. We have expectations from Andersen. It’s difficult to obtain a dealership. They have high standards. We have to sell and install with morality,” he says.
The company will have representatives at the Flower and Patio Show in Indianapolis, as well as the Indiana Peony Festival in Noblesville, to answer questions.
