NO attempt made to fix mistake. NO INTALL ON SATURDAYS

Beware once you have issues and they have all your money...When the salesman was giving me his pitch, I specifically asked if they install on Saturdays, he said yes.When the guy who came to measure the windows  I asked if they install on Saturdays. Again I was told yes.This was one of the reasons I decided to go with them.8-10 weeks go by and I get a call on Aug 26 that the windows are ready and they can install on Aug 29 a Friday. I said I work during the week so  what Saturday can they install. She tells me they DO NOT INSTALL ON SATURDAYS. I told her 2 employees who were at my house said they do, she said sorry no. So I tell her I am off friday Sept. 12. She said that is a ways away, so they WILL CHARGE ME A STOCKING FEE since they have to hold onto them until then.   What?????2 of your employees say you install on Saturdays, WHICH WAS A LIE and now I have to pay a fee??? What the heck?? Lie to your customers much?So I had to take off work loose 8 hours of vacation time because of your companies incompetence.Aug 29 comes and they install the windows.Once they are done I finally get a chance to go outside and noticed the windows do not match or look like the others.I live in a condominium. The salesman knew this was a condominium because he had to contact the management company to see if the look of one window could be changed a bit.So what is wrong with the windows? All the windows installed in the development have a frame outlining the window that matches the siding. These new windows are all just white, no frame matching to the siding.In 2 spots the siding now has a gap that is away from the house. It was all flat before the windows were installed.So  Aug 29, I called and left a message, nobody was calling back so again I  called the customer service number, explained everything. She gave me a number to text the pictures and details Sept 3 called left voice mail- got no answer Sent multiple emails thru thier website contact us, texted.Finally got a message with a number to call back. I call and again nobody resdon't.Sept 5 finally got a person, she gave me email address so I can send the pictures and details again. So copied my text and sent that email.It gets sent back undeliverable,  problem on receivers end. I resend 2 more times same thing. I forward to my work email andSept 6 I resend the email from work email. Same thing it gets sent back undeliverable.Sept 8 leave voicemail at 9am, then at 4:15pmFinally got a call back from the same girl who i spoke to before. I told her all the emails are getting sent back. She said someone would come out Sept 12 between 3-5 to take pictures.He took pictures of the windows, the siding he took no pictures of and said that was nothing.  Well there were no gaps and now there are. I also printed out the email I sent with the errors so maybe thier IT people could look at, he was not interested and did not take it.It's Sept 18. I left a message at 10am, no answer.So these are the numbers and emails  that do not work and that do not get replied toHow does this company exist with such poor, practically unexistant customer serviceThey say they will call you back they dont. They say they deliver on Saturdays, they don't.I was told to text info to 855-293-7813  NO RESPONSECalling 440-786-1400 leave voice mail - NOBODY EVER CALLS YOU BACKemailing  customerservice at universalwindowsdirect.com--- it gets sent back undeliverable                   .....@uwdba.com --- gets sent back undeliverableIt is almost a month after my install and my complaint and NOBODY FROM THIS COMPANY has bothered to call me to resolve this!!!Due to the incorrect information given to me, no response to voicemails, unable to contact them via email, and not even attempting to resolve issue I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY.Once they have their money, they will not contact you to try to fix any issues that were made on their part.A month  has gone by and nobody has reached out to me.

Disappointed to say the least

was disappointed with my experience. The windows I received were not as promised — the style and quality didn’t match what was discussed during the sales process. The installation was completed, but the end result wasn’t what I expected based on what I was told. I wish there had been better communication and follow-through to ensure I got what I paid for.

Windows turned out phenomenal.

Windows turned out great. Can't wait to see the difference with energy bill. Cost was reasonable. Installers were quick, courteous of house and animals. Would definitely recommend.

OUTRAGEOUS Prices and High Pressure Sales Techniques

I wanted siding for our modest single wide mobile home plus new gutters. A Universal Windows guy came out and spent 1 and a half boring hours puffing up his company. The spiel was that they have the best installers, the best product, the best Customer Service etc etc etc. I have since seen online that they totally rip people off with shoddy installation and wrong size windows, siding, doors, etcI was expecting new siding and gutters maybe $5000 or $6,000. The guy looked me right in the eye and quoted me a price of $67,000. YES $67,000!!! I almost became instantaneously incontinent right in my easy chair. You could purchase a new mobile home for that. I looked over at my wife when he said $67,000 and she looked deathly pale. The room started to spin....$67,000!!!He kept pressuring me to sign a contract right away. Over and over he wanted my signature and said this was just a quote not a contract. He kept on wanting my signature. I am so glad I said no because I read online reviews after he left and I found out that it was a standard practice of their sales people to trick and deceive people into signing a "quote" whereby they are on the hook for THOUSANDS of $$$$ Please folks PLEASE for your own good STAY Away from these people.

Recently had a salesman come by for an estimate on 12 windows. After an hour and a half I had to cut him off due to another appt. Did not get an estimate till the next day via email. Was supposed to be buy 2 get 2 free.Once I got the estimate I found it was a lump sum.I asked for an itemized estimate so I could see which ones were the free ones to justify the cost.The response was it's 50% off MSRP!ITS NOT BUY 2 GET 2 FREE.

Price gouge

Recently bought 4 windows, and got 2 for free. Project cost $13,142, Price per window $3,2885.50. Did not receive itemized invoice when I ordered, if I had, would have cancelled the windows. Still haven't received an itemized invoice. Window Cost Calculator on the internet said to expect Universal Windows Direct to have prices fall between $450 and $1300. This is nearly a 300% overage which is usurpment
