James clearly knew his stuff!!
James clearly knew his stuff! He explained the different window options in a clear and concise way, but also made it relatable to my needs. He wasn't just pushing a product, he was helping me find the best solution for my home.
He took the time to understand my priorities – energy efficiency, noise reduction, budget – and tailored his presentation accordingly. I felt like he genuinely cared about finding the right fit.
James presented a clear breakdown of the costs and financing options. There were no hidden fees or surprises, which built a lot of trust. James wasn't pushy. He answered all my questions patiently and gave me time to consider my options. I never felt pressured to make a decision on the spot.

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.

Second installation at my home
Ryan Lilly has installed windows at my home twice, and both times has done a very professional job . Moreover, the cleanup after removing old wooden storms and screens, and then carting them off is greatly appreciated. I am very pleased with Universal Windows.
