Homeowners across Asheville are turning to Renewal by Andersen for window repair and replacement work after severe weather battered the region in late July 2026. The company, a long-standing provider of custom-manufactured replacement windows, has seen a jump in requests from residents dealing with storm-damaged frames and moisture intrusion. The surge follows a run of extreme weather rarely seen in this stretch of the southern Appalachians.
Asheville recorded its first tornado warning inside city limits since 2009, a gap of more than 17 years, during severe thunderstorms on July 28 and 29, 2026. On July 30, the National Weather Service issued a preliminary statement confirming an EF0 tornado touched down in nearby Madison County, with estimated peak winds of 80 mph. The storm system brought widespread power outages and downed trees across western North Carolina.
Just days earlier, Asheville broke a 118-year rainfall record on July 23, as 1.73 inches of rain fell in a single day. Repeated rounds of heavy rain flooded roads and prompted warnings that more flooding could follow. The back-to-back events exposed weak points around window frames and seals that only become obvious once water gets in.
Renewal by Andersen manufactures replacement windows built to withstand the kind of wind and moisture exposure the region just experienced. The company custom-measures each window to fit the opening it will fill, reducing the small gaps where water tends to enter during a heavy storm.
"We manufacture our products according to your exact measurements for a tight, waterproof fit. Our exclusive Fibrex material combines wood fiber and thermoplastic polymer for weatherproof frames," according to Renewal by Andersen.
That Fibrex composite is central to the company's approach to severe-weather regions. Unlike wood, it resists rot and warping from repeated rain exposure, and it holds its shape through temperature swings common in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Renewal by Andersen designs, manufactures and installs custom replacement windows and doors for homeowners across the country. The company measures each product to the exact dimensions of the existing opening and builds with proprietary Fibrex composite material for durability in a range of climates. Renewal by Andersen serves homeowners throughout western North Carolina.
