Highly recommend

Highly recommend! Rodney, Tyler, and Jordan were awesome. When you spend a lot of money on something you care about, like your home, it makes you feel great when a crew like them is on the job. The windows went in so fast and they look amazing. The professionalism and the quality of work is beyond what I expected when they said it would only take a day to do my whole house (I think about 17 windows and a sliding glass door). I couldn't be happier with my decision. I will always recommend this company because the whole process has been great, especially the install team.

Bob and Eric were great!

Bob and Eric know what they’re doing. This may have been a “simple” install of just one window but they showed up ready to go, and finished in about an hour.

They were friendly, helpful with info regarding care for the window for the first 24 hours, and left the site cleaned up - you wouldn’t know they were even there except that the NEW window doesn’t show condensation from leaking gaskets.

And I could tell from the way Bob and Eric communicated with each other that they are buds - so there isn’t any of that “office” crap going on.

We have more windows in the near future - hopefully Bob and Eric will handle that install as well.

Caveat emptor (buyer beware) but my installation team was amazing!

This review gets 5 stars for my installers, not for my experience with universal windows direct. Let me give a little background…I had someone come and was impressed with the quality of the windows and excited about the free upgrade to triple pane windows. I signed up on the spot! Unfortunately I did not receive the upgrade. Customer service was absolutely nonexistent. I was promised one thing but in all the fine print on the contract it was not delivered. Even better (sarcasm is an underrated skill set) no one would even call me back! Despite this problem, Carlos and his team did a marvelous job installing the windows. The installation was the highlight of my experience. They were courteous and professional. It is a shame they are not also in charge of customer service… if they were I am sure that I would be satisfied with my entire experience.

Update: 4/16/24. I did finally receive a response from Uwd. They offered to give me a quote to repurchase the windows I just installed…. So read every last line item if any contract and make sure you get a copy immediately that clearly details what you are getting. At least Natasha had the good grace to apologize for the discrepancy between what I was promised and what I received. Still, caveat emptor!

Caleb and Jordan made a great team.

Caleb did an outstanding job installing my windows. He was very professional and has an excellent work ethic. I highly recommend him if you want the job done right.
Jordan who teamed with Caleb was also an efficient worker. He was polite, got right to work and cleaned up well after completion.
Universal Windows Direct is lucky to have these 2 men working for their company.

Sales rep Kelsey was great she listened to me about what I was wanting the windows to do, and worked with me on a price I was happy with. Installation day was a very quick and excellent well done job. Eduardo and his crew was great took time to explain how the windows worked and did a nice job all around. Waiting to see how the windows keep the hot west sun out this summer.

The crew

Eduardo and his crew were efficient, knowledgeable and respectful of our home. Their work was completed within a day and they cleaned up. We really like our new windows being black from the outside. However there are scratches on the inside white frames and minor items that will be addressed.

Satisfied with the overall process

Overall, I was satisfied with the overall process provided by UWD. My initial experience with the sales person Jake went extremely well. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. We were able to agree on a project scope and cost which met my needs. Although there were some hiccups initially with the billing and after the initial measurements, UWD was able to get those resolved and the project continued.

On the day of the installation, Carlos and his team were able to complete it in a single day. The crew was professional and did a great job. Looking forward to see how these windows perform during the Summer heat.

Great Product, Oustanding Service and Warranty

Outstanding Customer Service and Professionalism from Jordan who installed the windows, to Jim who measured the windows and Kirk who sold us the windows. All around great service.

It was nice to have someone who really enjoys his job of removing/installing new windows. Jordan explained everything of how the day would go and it did. He cleaned up after each window installation and there was no trash left behind.

Grant rocked

Had my estimate done today and I can't wait. Grant made the whole thing painless. He explained everything and showed me all the choices and even got me set up with a payment plan all at the same time. Definitely nice to have someone to laugh with when making a big purchase.

Rodney and Crew were great!

Rodney, Tyler, and Jordan did an amazing job on our install! They arrived in the time frame and got right to work. They were polite and very nice to work around my toddler and senior dog. They managed to get 2 bedroom windows, a huge picture window and a bay window replaced in 4 hours! Rodney even tightened the screws on my front door that were a little loose. The windows look great and we are so excited to no longer be leaking heat!
