The Matera Difference

Matera Builders is a home remodeling and Andersen window and door installation company that has served the South Jersey shore since 1988.

Every Matera Builders project is managed in-house, from a single custom window installation to a full-scale home renovation. Clients work directly with one dedicated team that coordinates each phase initial consultation, installation, and final walkthrough which means seamless communication, consistent quality, and a job done right the first time.
Matera Builders is an Andersen Elite Certified Contractor, Andersen's top installer tier, a designation held by fewer than 1% of Andersen contractors nationwide. Its crews train every year at Andersen's factory in Bayport, Minnesota, and hold advanced certification in Andersen Big Doors, completed alongside Andersen's engineering team in Arizona, as well as in the Weiland by Andersen moving glass wall system. Matera Builders is also a Therma-Tru Certified Installer.
Beyond its Andersen and Therma-Tru certifications, Matera Builders partners with Versatex to stay current on the latest exterior building practices, with product reps regularly visiting the company's warehouse for live demos and product updates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Windows, doors & coastal installation at the Jersey Shore

Yes. Andersen A-Series windows hold up well in salt air because their Fibrex composite frames resist the corrosion, rot, and warping that coastal conditions cause, and their factory-finished exteriors need little maintenance near the ocean.
The Andersen 400 Series is a wood window with a durable vinyl-clad exterior at a mid-range price, while the E-Series is a premium aluminum-clad wood window with far more sizes, colors, and coastal-rated options; for an oceanfront Shore home, E-Series usually offers the better performance and customization.
Andersen Elite Certified is the highest tier of Andersen’s contractor certification, held by roughly the top 1% of installers nationwide, and it means the contractor is trained and verified to install Andersen windows and doors to the manufacturer’s exact standards.
It depends on your property’s wind zone. Parts of the Jersey Shore fall within coastal high-wind and wind-borne debris areas where local building code requires impact-rated windows or an equivalent protection method, so the requirement should always be confirmed against your specific address and permit before ordering.
Andersen Frenchwood hinged patio doors suit homes that want a classic swing-open look, while large gliding (“Big”) doors suit wide openings where you want expansive, unobstructed ocean views and no swing clearance; the right choice comes down to your available space and the view you want to frame.
A straightforward insert replacement of a few Andersen windows is often completed in a single day, while a full-frame replacement or a whole-home project typically takes several days, depending on the number of openings, the window series, and any repairs the openings need.
Choose an insert (pocket) replacement when your existing window frames are still solid, since it’s faster and less invasive, and choose a full-frame replacement when the frame, sill, or surrounding wood is rotted or water-damaged — which is common in older coastal homes.
Fiberglass Therma-Tru entry doors hold up best in coastal weather because, unlike steel, they won’t rust or corrode in salt air, and unlike wood, they resist warping, swelling, and rot near the ocean.
Replace your beach house windows when you notice any of these seven signs: persistent drafts, moisture or fog between the glass panes, difficulty opening or locking, rising energy bills, visible rot or water damage, increased outside noise, or interior fading from UV — each points to windows that are failing to seal.
At the Jersey Shore, professionally installed Andersen replacement windows typically range from about $[LOW] to $[HIGH] per window in 2026, with the final price driven by the window series, size, impact rating, and whether the job is an insert or full-frame installation; an in-home assessment gives an exact figure.
