Be on time and more precise trim work.

Excellent workmanship, windows look great

Great workmanship.

I told the salesman and the guy that did the measurements and installers I wanted to save the windows from lower level bedroom and 2 of the best storm windows they removed and took all with them I entrusted the installer with the work with out me staying home to watch and they could not even do as I requested to save to use to repair windows in my garage and I was told they installers where professional I don't need to baby sit them

The salesman was very informative and convincing. He showed us the window (had a sample) and all the qualities. The people who installed the window were very clean and did a great job. They really knew what they were doing.

Did a great job

Professional sales and service. Our salesman is top-notch

I highly recommend Universal Windows. The staff and the crew are very organized, timely, and professional.

Felt misled most of the process. Windows don't block out cold like I was led to believe. My sales rep was unresponsive. Installers didn't speak English so I couldn't ask questions. I was told by customer service that the installers' manager would call me, but that didn't happen. Personal property damage has not been addressed by customer service yet.

Everything

Extend lifetime warranty to windows that are painted as well as white

Jason replied a cracked window and showed me how to slant it open. He also took the time t suggest ideas on how to get the stickers off the window. Thanks Jason for explaining everything to me. I like my windows even more now.

I purchased Windows years ago from Universal and was very happy then so I purchased more this year and again very happy!

window glass is twice as thin as the replaced windows,so just as cold

Unethical salesman, poor communication, a lot of miscommunication. Poor quality of installation.

I think the reasons to recommend a contractor are being treated well, and getting a good value. We got both from Universal.

They told me that the cold would stay outside because the windows have double pane, but now that it's cold, the windows fog up and frost forms on the inside, and air from outside seeps in. I spoke to them well and they said that it's the humidity inside that causes it. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

We had UWD do our down stairs windows last year. They are perfect. This year upstairs windows were done horribly. I would talk to speak with someone to fix all issues as soon as possible.

For windows, yes

The installers were very professional and worked very hard. We are happy with installation!

Pricing is extremely high. Installation crews are very poor. Product quality is poor when weighed against cost.

The worst experience ever. Would not recommend to my enemies. Sent installers that spoke no English. They couldn’t communicate with me. Installed over totally rotted wood, didn’t complete the job I paid for. They seemed ill prepared on what exactly they were supposed to be doing. I showed them the contract which was a waste of time because they couldn’t read it. Absolutely unacceptable. Salesman wouldn’t return calls. They came 3 times to complete the job and after requesting they send at least one person that speaks English they sent more installers that could not. Very, very aggravating to pay thousands of dollars to replace just 2 windows and go through such a nightmare.

The company, sales person and installers were great. We already made a recommendation

It took them a full year to complete the job.

Very pleased with the sales through installation process and the quality and attractiveness of the product when it was in place.

The experience from beginning (with Jamie Shay) to installation was great.

Overall, it was a great experience purchasing windows from Universal Windows Direct.

Overall, the product itself is pretty good, the service however, leaves very little to be desired. Nothing like taking 2 years to fix a window that your technician broke. Then trying to actually charge us a service charge to come out and to replace it, which the first time, didn't fit the window frame, so we had to wait another couple of months to get it. A total of 2-1/2 years passed from when the windows were installed to when the broken sash was finally replaced.

Installers were friendly and helpful when I had questions.

Was lied to about the financial situation and not told about the size of the window and not left contact information.

Very responsive to fulfill contract agreement.

When the windows were knstalled there was a hole in the kitchen screen. I was told by the installer that I would be contacted by someone from Universal in the next day or two and make arrangements to replace the screen. The windows were installed on a Wednesday. The following week on Friday no one had contacted me. I had to call Universal. I talked to Mandy and she was very helpful in scheduling someone to come and replace the screen. The following Wednesday she scheduled someone to replace the screen, TWO weeks after installation. The person who came arrived on time and did a good job.

ALSO, the fact that I had to practically pay the total amount before anything was installed is ridiculous. I understand a down payment, but I do not understand why I had to pay almost the total before anything was installed. Do you pay for a new car before yuou get it????

ALSO, I was told the installers would be here between 8:00 - 10:00 on the day the windows were to be installed.. Whomever scheduled that time knew they would not be here as they were coming from Chicago. If I am told someione will be here between 8:00 - 10:00, I expected to see them about 9:30 or 9:45. They arrived after 10:00. It does not matter if they were 1 minute, 5 minutes,10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes late. Anytime after10:00 is late.

The installers did a good job when they arrived, Point is, the scheduler did them a disservice and myself.

The windows look great. Installed in one day half of our windows. Will do the other half in the future

This was a great value compared to other quotes we received.

Lots of Issues with install and product

We were not pleased with the sloppy work that was done on our home. We had to have some rework done. The man that came to do the rework did a good job. He also made the comment that most people wouldn't have really noticed the spots I was pointing out to him. And white on white is hard to do... I don't care, I am paying good money for a supposedly good product that should have been installed much better. To apologize & send someone out to do rework is ok but it should have been done right the first time.. I gave a recommendation to my daughter Jody Strupp ... . She had windows replaced, they did a terrible job of clean up, poked a hole in her screen door ! Used the bed as a workbench. What did I get for my recommendation ,Shoddy workmanship No Longer will recommend your company.

The windows look great and are good quality. The sales team was very knowledgeable. Some areas for improvement with the communication with the install team but overall pretty satisfied.

I will need to see how the window responds to future Wisconsin winters.

Payment structure isn't comfortable for the customer. Getting a COI and a Lien Waiver were difficult, but 4 stars because they did come through on everything in the end.

Despite living minutes away from their office, it took MONTHS to get an appointment for our door. And then they showed multiple times without any hardware or answers about where our items were.

Universal Window did the job well and also was prompt on follow up. I had a problem with one window and within a week it was fixed. The technician was on time and pleasant.

Jamie might make sales, but he lies and forgets.

Sales lied about being able to get energy bills from before we moved in, to see the "guaranteed 34% savings". Installation did jot schedule the appointment to come out & showed up when I was not prepared for them - and installation employee was rude to me and threatened to send back my windows. Delivery payment was put thru on that day, to a credit card I dis not want to use - without talking to me 1st. Half the windows were hard to open - installer said I would get used to it. Repair tech came on site (after I called supervisor) and had to call his joss because he did not really know how to fix windows.

Your care for the needs of the customer is nonexistant. Horrible conflict resolution ability. Very poor. Very Disappointing.

The window is still very new so time will tell

May 21st. doors were installed knowing the Front door trim was not on the truck; and installing the screen door which was very different in color from the color photo printed on the computer. (no actual door paint samples; only pictures.? Today is June 7th. and we are still waiting to hear when the trim will be available for install and have not yet heard anything regarding possible options for the screen door situation. Meanwhile everyone who sees our door from the outside can not believe how terrible the job looks. We were required to pay in full before getting our problems resolved, which is really unacceptable.

We were not happy that the salesperson who took our order told us one thing and the measuring person told us another in regard to replacing the window framing on the house like we asked for. The salesperson also told us he would stop by during the installation and did not. The salesperson at the home and garden show had us excited for the free financing but failed to mention you had to put 40% down with the order to get that. Also, the order was put thru with the wrong color of aluminum to finish the outside of the window (we said black, and they sent white with the installers). This delayed the completion as they had to wait for the measuring person to bring the correct color which also made the installers late to their next install.

Not at all.
