We had windows installed two different times and are pleased with them. The sales person and installers were very professional and did a very good job, cleaned everything up and told us what we needed to to care for the windows.
Their customer care department needs a little help.

I recently had several windows replaced by Universal Windows. My old windows were original to my home. Despite the difficulties of removing the old windows, Universal did a fantastic job removing and replacing my windows. The installer was meticulous in his work. The new inside trim is beautiful, and the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend Universal Windows for window replacement in your home.
