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 can provide central Indiana residents with any of their exterior household needs.
The company is an authorized dealer of Andersen products, the largest window and door manufacturer in North America. It’s owned by Noblesville residents Darren Peck and Dan Hanlin, who opened the business in February 2022.
“We could have sold any product we wanted, but we chose to sell Andersen products because it’s such high-quality,” Peck says. “You don’t end up being the oldest window and door company in the U.S. without having the highest quality product on the market.”
“Andersen is a household name; it was founded the same year that John Deere, Coca-Cola and Ford were founded, in 1903. People associate Andersen with quality, and with a product that lasts,” says Hometown sales manager Udi Abdelhak.
“For a normal dealership, the focus is on the product. We focus on the full-service residential replacement model. We focus most of our time and attention on measuring, ordering, installing, warranting and servicing every window that we sell. Our focus is unique in regards to an Andersen dealer,” Abdelhak continues.
Hometown Window and Door Company also services patio doors and entry doors. They can do a full custom entry door with dozens of different wood grains, stains, paints and configurations, and they’re expanding the roofing and siding line of the business.
“We do a lot of out-of-the-box work, like four-season rooms, conversions to sunrooms and home add-ons; we can pretty much say ‘yes’ to any customer on anything exterior that they want to do,” Abdelhak says.
“What really sets us apart is how we treat our customers. We’re not just selling windows and doors, we’re helping people improve their homes, and that’s something we take seriously. Being locally owned, we care about our reputation and our community, so we go the extra mile to make sure the job is done right and the customer is happy,” says customer experience manager Sarah.
She says that she began working at Hometown Window and Door because she was looking for an opportunity to be a part of a company that genuinely cares about its customers and the community. She’s now worked there for three years.
In addition to residential homes, Hometown Window and Door Company updated the windows in the Hamilton County Courthouse last year, and they’ll be working on the Henry County Courthouse in New Castle in 2026.
“There are historical districts and homeowners associations that are difficult to get a window approved in, and that’s why having access to all five of the Andersen window lines is helpful to get the right fit for any specific situation,” Abdelhak explains.
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, with a composite-based extruded frame that offers a better alternative to vinyl windows.
“More often than not, the extremely large windows will actually save customers money because they end up purchasing a smaller quantity of windows using Hometown’s conversion design techniques,” Peck says. “Instead of customers buying five windows, they are buying one window: half the cost and twice the view.”
“A lot of people have never seen anything like it,” he adds. “Most competitors’ windows can’t be made that big because the framing isn’t strong enough. Andersen products are superior. Plastic and vinyl windows just don’t hold up like an Andersen product.”
“Some customers come in thinking all window companies offer the same thing, just at different price points. The truth is that the quality of the product and the expertise of the installation team can vary a lot. We spend time educating customers, so they understand exactly what they’re getting and why it matters for their home long term,” Sarah continues.
Abdelhak advises that vinyl windows don’t tend to last more than five to 10 years, as the plastic material is heated and cooled repeatedly from season to season. Even wooden frames are not immune to this, and they can pull away from the wall and begin leaking air. Not only can a new window lower the utility bill, they can also provide protection from the sun.
“Ultraviolet rays that pass through windows can damage carpet, flooring, furniture, art, and can heat up a room. Andersen frames and glass block over 98% of harmful UV rays that come in through the window,” Abdelhak says.
“A lot of people think buying windows is just picking a style and getting the cheapest quote, but there’s a lot more that goes into it. Things like energy efficiency, long-term durability and especially installation make a huge difference. Another misconception is that it’s going to be a stressful or drawn-out process, but with the right company, it can actually be really smooth and straightforward,” Sarah says.
Homeowners may think they need to replace all of their windows at once in order for them to match, but that is not the case. Abdelhak says that 9 times out of 10, they can match the windows that the customer already has, so they don’t need to replace anything unnecessarily.
“We are a unique, tiny 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.
“At Hometown Window and Door, we believe your home deserves more than just windows and doors, it deserves quality care and results that last. Our team is here to make the process easy, stress-free and truly worthwhile for every homeowner,” Sarah 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 any questions.
