Andersen Door Installation Issues to Avoid

As mentioned above, you can buy the best door brand. However, if you don’t work with a certified installer, you are bound to have issues.

I. Compromised Security

An Andersen door that isn't secured properly compromises your home's security. Doors should be secured perfectly around the perimeter to help them withstand burglary attempts.

II. Poor Energy Efficiency

A door should be installed and sealed to keep weather elements away. A door that lets in water because a sealant hasn't been applied properly underneath will cause damage to wooden flooring and other interior elements. Gaps left due to poor installation also let air escape or get in. During cold or hot weather, this phenomenon tends to overwork HVAC systems, increasing energy bills.

III. Difficulty Closing/Opening

A poorly installed door is also bound to come out of alignment, making it difficult to open or close. This problem is usually accompanied by noise when closing or opening if the door isn't adjusted.

IV. Voided Warranty

Andersen is very strict with installation. Your lifetime limited warranty can be voided if your Andersen doors aren't installed by an Andersen Certified installer like Preview Construction that follows all manufacturer guidelines and industry best practices.

To avoid the above Andersen doors Dallas installation problems, work with certified Andersen contractors only like Preview Construction. We've been installing doors, windows and siding for 30+ years now in Dallas, TX. We have training and expertise to install Andersen doors perfectly!
