Spring is here, which means it’s officially window season. The experienced team at Hometown Window & Door Company, a small, boutique Andersen dealership servicing Indiana, is eager to tackle all of your window and door projects, both large and small.
Andersen, the oldest window manufacturer in America, invented double-pane glass, Perma-Shield products and Fibrex composite material. Plus, Andersen’s windows and doors are unsurpassed for their beauty, quality and value. As a full-line Andersen dealer, Hometown Window & Door offers more options than any other standard window company for both commercial and residential applications. There are full-frame wood and aluminum products, and also the versatility of composite windows. The Hometown team believes that Andersen makes the best products in the Midwest, and that’s backed with a quality installation.
“You can sell a wonderful product, but if you can’t put it in right, that doesn’t really mean anything,” says Andy Brown, general manager at Hometown Window. “We take a lot of pride in the fact that Hometown is a family-owned and -operated company, delivering quality products to consumers. From the sales process to the finishing touches, we make sure clients have a perfect install.”
All four co-owners, Darren Peck, Dan Hanlin, Mitch Brown and Andy Brown, are certified professionals who bring more than three decades of experience working with Indiana homeowners. Their combined wealth of knowledge, skill, energy and commitment is unparalleled.
“True to its name, Hometown Window & Door Company is Noblesville’s neighborhood-feeling Andersen dealership,” says Scott Dorrell, sales manager for Hometown. “We are a hometown company, through and through.”
Not only have they completed more than 450 projects in the Hamilton County area in the past year, but the company is also committed to taking care of and investing in the community. That investment comes in a number of ways. For example, they are active in the local Children’s Festival, they hosted a pumpkin painting activity at the Covered Bridge Festival, they sponsored Music on Main Street, and were a headline sponsor for the Cool Creek Concert Series last year and will be again this year. Plus, they will be part of the Noblesville Farmers Market this year.
“It’s been really exciting for the ownership group to be able to work in the neighborhoods where they grew up,” Dorrell says. “We want to continue to make Noblesville an even better place to live.”
When shopping for windows and doors, customers appreciate never having to interact with a third party, as they always work directly with the Hometown team. Again, they are all about representing a national brand while providing a personal, hometown experience.
“In the residential replacement market, we’re offering people a full-service, white-glove installation with an Andersen dealer, all of the Andersen options, and the Andersen quality with certified master installers,” Dorrell says. “Generally you don’t have dealers doing the installation, but our craftsmen are trained and experienced in estimating and installing windows of all types. When you sign a contract with Hometown, we handle everything. That includes consultation, listening to the homeowner, design, manufacturing, installation and the service.”
One customer, Kelly Goshorn, likened the experience of working with Hometown to shopping for high-end purses and products.
“Andersen windows are like Coach purses,” she says. “We can go anywhere and get a much less expensive wallet or purse, but it’s not going to be of equal quality. The same is true of Andersen windows, and when you’re talking about your home, that’s such an important investment.”
If you’re looking to get some questions answered or simply formulate some ideas for a future project, you can set up a free consult with someone from Hometown. These consults typically take between 60 and 90 minutes, and you don’t have to commit to starting a project just because you set up that consult. It can be a purely informational session in which you talk through the project you’re considering, have the Hometown team inspect your home, identify potential issues and discuss possible options.
“I’ve sat with a customer for more than two hours because they wanted to look at every single design option for a front entry door, and that’s completely fine,” Dorrell says. “We are here for you, whatever you need.”
The truth is that the Hometown Window & Door team enjoys interacting with the community on every level.
“It’s been wonderful to see what Noblesville is growing into because of this hometown company,” Dorrell says. “As a show of our appreciation for our Noblesville residents, for the month of May we are doing Buy 2 windows, get 1 free. Plus, 35% off patio doors.”
