The Andersen Advantage: A Perfect Fit for Additions

When designing and building additions, we’re often blending old with new. Whether we’re matching the character of a 100-year-old home or enhancing a modern footprint, Andersen’s wide selection of window options helps us get the look—and performance—just right.

Their E-Series, 400 Series, and A-Series lines offer design flexibility that allows us to align with your home’s existing architectural style. That means no awkward transitions, mismatched trims, or windows that feel out of place. Instead, your new space feels like it was always part of your home.

Energy Efficiency That Works Year-Round in Rochester

Anyone who’s lived through a Rochester winter knows how important it is to have high-performance, energy-efficient windows. Andersen’s insulated glass technology and Low-E coatings help reduce energy bills by keeping your new space warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.

When we install additions with Andersen products, homeowners immediately notice the comfort—less draft, better insulation, and a quieter interior. It’s more than just a luxury; it’s a smart investment in long-term value.

Andersen also meets and often exceeds ENERGY STAR® standards, making them a great option for environmentally conscious homeowners and those looking to reduce long-term operational costs.

Built to Last: A Long-Term Investment

One of the biggest reasons we trust Andersen is because of their commitment to longevity and structural integrity. Whether it’s the aluminum-clad exterior of the E-Series or the Fibrex® composite material used in their 100 Series, these windows are made to withstand the elements—and time.

For Rochester homes that deal with freezing temperatures, ice, snow, and blazing summer sun, this kind of durability isn’t optional—it’s essential. With Andersen, our clients enjoy peace of mind knowing their windows won’t fade, flake, or fail prematurely.

Modern Aesthetics with Timeless Options

When designing custom additions, windows are a major aesthetic feature. With Andersen’s extensive design catalog, we can offer homeowners:

  • Sleek black frames for a contemporary look
  • Natural wood interiors that match flooring and cabinetry
  • Custom grille patterns to match historic character
  • Specialty shapes for bold architectural statements

This design freedom ensures your addition feels uniquely yours—not just functional, but beautiful inside and out.

Installed the Right Way—The Ember Works Way

At Ember Works, we don’t just buy high-quality materials—we install them with precision and care. Andersen Windows are only as effective as the team who installs them, and we’ve built our reputation on doing things the right way, every step of the way.

From framing the opening to flashing and sealing, we ensure every window is installed to manufacturer specifications. That protects your warranty, but more importantly, it protects your home.

Case Study: Andersen Windows in Action

In a recent home addition project in Chili, NY, we installed Andersen E-Series black-clad windows throughout the space. The contrast between the bold exterior frames and the white interior trim created a clean, modern look that the homeowners loved. But beyond the design, they also saw immediate energy savings and improved light quality in their new space.

This is just one of many projects where Andersen helped elevate the final result—and we’ve got the photos to prove it.
