No telling me "My wife had to be there for the initial visit" (That is also a timeshare selling tactic) No Special "back to school pricing" gimmicks. No buy one get one free. No LYING and saying the competition makes inferior windows (Then when you see what Window universe does it is actually better than the other company) I got 18 quotes for work on my house 5 window quotes. so I am tired and cranky. I didnt call Window Universe intially. (my mistake) I had one company (Who I wont review) that was all the way up to getting a downpayment from me. They seemed good initially but I had to fire them when they didnt show up (it was a fourth offence) Too bad. Well I called Window Universe they came out fast. The quoting process was fast. The person (lance) who came out was very personable. Now I didnt realize this but their quote was 1500 less than the other guy I fired. Also Lance is a dialed in person. He called Provia on my door and he told me that the door I was getting was not compatible so we had to switch. The previous guy was going to give me that door with the side lights. (Was it going to even work??) yeah so there was that. The appointment took minutes. We also talked about basement glass block windows. Their prices. Right on the sheet AND they were really good about 1/2 what I expected to pay. So I am going to do that too before the winter. Anyhow when all was said and done Window Universe was less than the guy I almost used and Lance double checked he got the proper sized windows and sidelights. Great experience and I still have 3+ weeks before the windows show up. Ill come back and add some pictures after it is done. I know it is going to be great.

As a homeowner, I realize that taking care of my home and updating it and maintaining it can be…read moreexpensive. I also understand that I am going to have to talk to vendors that are trying to make money off me and I am going to have to listen to their spiel and haggle with them. And then deal with several other people along the way before the job actually gets completed. After my experience with Window Nation, I don't think I can honestly recommend that anyone else purchase windows from them unless they are prepared to deal with all the hassle up until you get the actual windows. Knock on the door from an ill prepared salesman who said they were in the area that day. Had to haggle about the price and were offered coupon after coupon (price without any of the coupons was astronomical). We were offered a cruise we had to pay for (not a free cruise, only a voucher for a company that offers cruises to people who make large home improvement purchases). Huge lack of communication from the company until the actual day of the install (we had to call them several times about the cruise voucher, about a receipt, about scheduling; things were really only taken care of once the owner of the company got involved and handled things). We were given no direction to move furniture or window treatments prior to installation. Day of install was great, aside from my husband having to move all the furniture out of the way and take all the window treatments down because the installers are not allowed to do any of that, and aren't even allowed to help. Installers were professional and efficient, covered all our stuff with plastic, and didn't leave a mess behind when they left. Seriously, other than the furniture being out of place and the new windows, I would have never known they were there when I got home. So if you choose to go with this company, beware of the process prior to actually getting the windows. The installers are great, the windows are great, but the company itself and the way they handle things can give you a big headache.

Three people came out to do measurements. None of these people told us there would be any problems installing the window. This was for one window that was going to be installed in one day. It took two months and I had to finish the work myself. Apparently ours was the first house that they had ever done a window replacement for that had vinyl siding. They took five weeks to finish the outside of the house because they needed to order replacement parts that were damaged during removal. They needed eight weeks to get replacement woodwork for the inside because (you guessed it) they damaged it during removal. If I hadn't had to consistently call to find out the status of the job, we'd probably still be waiting to get it finished. COMPLETE AMATEUR HOUR. Do your self a favor and find someone that can do the job right.

They installed within the time frame they promised and payment was easy to process and straight forward. They look you in the eye which is a good sign of confidence in what they do and nothing to hide. I'm very pleased with the windows and they are excellent quality!

HORRIBLE! PICK ANOTHER COMPANY In 2021, Universal Windows…read moreDirect installed 32 windows in my home. We selected the company because we were told multiple crews would be assigned to complete the project quickly. After signing the contract and paying the deposit, we were informed only one crew would be assigned and the installation would take longer than promised. The installation experienced numerous issues, including an incorrect window being installed, missing materials, extended delays, and concerns regarding insulation. Shortly after installation, we noticed significant drafts, increased insect intrusion, and substantially higher heating and cooling costs. A service technician later inspected the installation and immediately identified that the windows had not been properly shimmed, there were gaps around the installations, and no insulation had been installed. Universal Windows Direct sent another crew to address the issue by drilling holes into the window frames and injecting insulation rather than removing and reinstalling the windows. Caulking was also redone. Following extensive discussions regarding the installation deficiencies and increased utility costs, the company provided a $5,000 credit. While these repairs improved some issues, they did not resolve the underlying problems. Over the following years, we continued to experience drafts, elevated heating and cooling costs, and poor window performance. During the winter of 2025-2026, temperature measurements near several windows showed differences exceeding 25 degrees from the home's thermostat setting. In one instance, with the thermostat set at 68 degrees, the temperature near a window measured approximately 42 degrees. A subsequent inspection by another technician identified insufficient insulation around the windows and air leakage associated with prior repair methods. Additional temporary repairs were proposed, but I declined because previous temporary solutions had failed to correct the installation deficiencies. After escalating the matter, I was informed that management had approved a comprehensive correction involving removal and reinstallation of the affected windows. However, when the scheduled crew arrived, they stated they had no documentation regarding the work, no materials had been ordered, and no repairs could be completed. They instead documented the issues and left. Since January 2026, I have repeatedly contacted Universal Windows Direct seeking implementation of the approved corrective work. Multiple appointments have been scheduled, inspections have been performed, measurements have been taken repeatedly, and management has acknowledged communication failures and delays. Despite these efforts, no corrective installation work has been completed. In addition to ongoing energy loss and comfort issues, we also experienced a ceiling leak that was attributed to an improperly sloped window installation. Nearly five years after the original installation, the windows remain improperly installed, utility costs continue to be impacted, and the company has not completed the corrective work it previously approved. I have participated in more than nine service visits and worked with multiple technicians and installation crews in an effort to obtain a proper resolution.

I had high hopes since I had used them 5 years ago for a roof replacement claim and had no issues. Since the roof repair, they have significantly grown and their communication has made a serious dive. I messaged via their social media after a request for a inspection had gone unanswered that I had filled out on their website. The person behind the social media page contacted and said they had no record, even though I had the confirmation from 2 days prior that my request had been sent. Their siding tech Ronnie had come out and was great to deal with. After that, it went way down hill. I had been sent a email from their claims person asking about the insurance claim and asked for the information for my insurance. I responded the next day with all the information, and received no response. I emailed the following day to make sure that they had received what they needed and got a response as yes. A week went by with no update. I had received a letter from my insurance company that they were denying the claim. I then sent another email inquiring about what was going on and received no response. Another week, another email and nothing. It took me sending a response on their social media stating that I will start looking for another company if I cannot get an update. I magically got a response later that day saying the person was out for a few days and that for whatever reason the insurance company didnt get the email from them. They said they would try the Tuesday after Memorial Day. We are now into the second week of June and nothing. At this point im thoroughly disappointed and saddened at the lack of communication and care that they have showed me. I will move on to another company at this point. I have wasted my time. They obviously do not care about doing work for smaller homes or homes that dont match what they post on their social media. I feel like all the recommendations for this company that I had given out to family, friends and coworkers was a waste because as a return customer, i've been let down. I have all the email correspondence and messages saved as well that will show the large gaps in responses and communications. My home isnt a $500k home, its a small ranch in Parma, but I should atleast be shown the same respect as other customers. Poor customer service
