Thank you for the information regarding Complaint ID #********. We would like to first apologize if this homeowner is unhappy, as that is never our intention for our customers! In reviewing this customer's account, we have been out to her home two times since September to verify that the windows are properly installed, which they are. We have also recently spoken with her and have a visit set for the beginning of January as well, to make extra certain that there are no issues with the operation of the windows. Based on the last two recent visits, we do believe everything is working properly, but are happy to verify that again at this next visit. We would also like to clarify that we only replaced four of the windows in this this customer's home. The remaining ********************** in the home are the originals, and could also be contributing to any drafts/cold feelings. We look forward to our upcoming visit and we appreciate the opportunity to respond. Thank you.Initial Complaint

On April 1, 2024, we purchased a front door and storm door from Universal Windows Direct. The door installation was scheduled for April 10, 2024.We fully understand that there are times when things go wrong. The indicator of a good company is there a response when things go bad.Below is the list of issues experienced with UWD. 1. Incorrect inside trim was ordered. 2. Unfinished trim at inside door jam. 3. Incorrect screen door was installed. 4. Outside trim does not match door frame.5. Siding was gashed by installer. 6. Ring Doorbell wire was disconnected and never reinstalled to power; leaving us to purchase a remote doorbell and having to recharge the doorbell every 10 days.7. a gap in the side of the door with daylight coming through.When it came to installations, the crew ran late and on 3 different occasions were told they had an accident, the car broke down, and bereavment leave. Those messages only came AFTER we reached out to find out why they didn't show ***** of September 13, 2024, five months after this nightmare started we are at an impasse on resolving the remaining issues. They installed the incorrect storm door and then replaced it. In doing so, they left holes in the door frame. We were told they would replace the frame. Now they are saying they won't do that, but they will hang a chain even though that style of door does not have a chain. They are expecting to be paid even though the contract says payment is due upon completion of the work. The other issue is the siding that they cracked upon installation. They told us they could repair it if we had extra siding. The house is 10 years old and therefore no siding is available. They do not stand behind a commitment to quality and we are now left with holes in the door frame and cracked siding.The total purchase was $12,000, of which $1200 remains unpaid.Business Response

Thank you for the response on Complaint ID #********. We appreciate the chance to review this homeowners experience and provide a response.We have been in active communication with this homeowner over the last couple of weeks to help bring their project to a resolution. While we dont deny that their initial installation appointment had a few issues, we want to confirm that at this time, their products have been installed. It is for this reason that we began the collections efforts as the balance is owed at time of substantial completion of the install, and that has occurred. We remain committed to the option that we last spoke with the customer about: the opportunity to service the door in an effort to bring about an acceptable solution on the entry door and storm door. If for some reason the field tech is unable to complete the service as we have discussed, we are prepared to get a new door frame but this is ideally the last resort in a scenario like this. Either way, the balance on the project also must be addressed and would be due at the time of the service appointment to address the frame.
Our last communication from the customer was that they would be calling us back to discuss the next steps. We will continue to follow up with the homeowner in an effort to move this forward. We appreciate the opportunity to respond.Initial Complaint

Thank you for the information regarding Complaint ID #********. We would like to first apologize if this homeowner feels frustrated regarding the cancellation process. As outlined in the agreement signed off on by both the customer and their UWD Sales Representative in the home, the customer has 3 days to cancel within what we call the "rescission period". During this window of time, the project can be cancelled without any fees. After that period, there are cancellation fees associated based on how far we are into the project. At the time of the cancellation request from this customer, there was a 15% fee that was to be applied. They were notified of this by the team on the phone, and the homeowner was also contacted by our Sales Manager to ensure this was the next step she wanted to take. Ultimately, the project was cancelled, and a refund was provided to the customer for the amount that exceeded the cancellation fee. We hope this helps clear up any confusion and we hope the customer will keep us in mind should they want to move forward with any projects in the future. Thank you for the opportunity to respond.Customer Answer

[Please type your response here.]first I did call by Friday and they said they will email the sales team I wanted to cancel thats when I didnt get a response until Tuesday how convenient for them. Technically it was 3 days and also how do I know I sign off on anything when I didnt receive any copies of documents so that really has me puzzled. Want my refund!

Thank you for the additional response on Complaint ID #********. We appreciate the chance to respond and provide additional clarity. The homeowner signed their agreement with us on 4/30/24. They did not call in with a request to cancel until May 8th, and due to the length of time is the reason for the cancellation fee, as it falls outside the 3-day period. After the discussions with the Sales Manager and the cancellation of the project, the homeowner received a refund in the amount of $650.00. Attached is a photo from the agreement which includes the outline of the cancellation policy, and the homeowner's signature. We hope this helps to clarify. Thank you!Customer Answer

Regards,I dont agree with what they are saying because I tried calling multiple times leaving message and then that is when finally **** called so that was May 8th so I really didnt have a choice to verbally cancel until I talked to a HUMAN so I would really like my refund.

Thank you for the additional response regarding Complaint ID #********. We spoke with the homeowner on May 7th regarding her account status and the next steps, and she called back in on May 8th requesting to cancel outside of the rescission period. We would be happy to request our Sales Manager give her another call to discuss her project, but at this time the refund that was provided to her is exactly in line with the agreement that she signed.

They have been the MOST FRUSTRATING company I've ever had the displeasure to deal with!!! First off, the salesman apparently didn't care to correctly enter the hardware we wanted on our doors. When we signed the contract it was all by mouth we didn't see these details... we wanted black doors with black hardware. We got black doors with satin nickle hardware and absolutely hate it because it's not what we wanted. We **** chose a front door with a specific design. And sat there with the salesman and pointed directly to the door in THEIR catalog and said we want this exact one with this exact design!!! They entered that we wanted a clear glass for the door. Also during install, they installed a screen with a freaking rip in it!! After install we have tried NUMEROUS times to get these mistakes fixed, and have either been ignored and not called back, or told "well you signed the contract and this is what is in the contract". I'm just royally ****** off at this point after spending $68000 to get our house fixed up, and they won't honor THEIR mistakes. I will NOT be recommending them until they fess up and fix THEIR ERRORS!!!!!Business Response

Windows have air coming through them and always have condensation on them even though our humity level is low. Our back door leaked and rotted out the sub floor, also have mushrooms growing inside my house were door meets floor. The company came to fix floor and ruined my flooring as well as it has large bumps from where they tried to fix it.

Ordered three windows and a french door in April. Order #******-1 and ******-nstallation was done in September for the three windows. Installers didn't know about the door. After installing windows they sent someone to pick the door. They took out the slider and once door arrived they installed it. Door was manufactured incorrect white was onside and light oak on outside. Frame can't be reversed as hinges would be on the outside. They were reversed. Installers had no hardware or trim. They said someone would be here the next day. No one showed and when I called they didn't have trim or hardware. We told them door was wrong. They sent tech out in October, during this time we had to put tarp over door on the outside and push something against door to keep it closed for the weather. Tech came out and said door needed to be reordered. My wife heard him talk to Universal Direct office. We called in January to see about update, they had closed the order as they thought it was complete. Door was ordered in January. They called us back March 14th to setup install date. They came om March 25th. They only had the doors and hardware. They never remade the frame, installers called their boss who said he had told Universal window before that whole door needed to be replaced. I called Universal window and when i contacted them about the issue they tried to get ahold of Production manager and they couldn't. Every time I have called Universal Window the Production manager is never available. I have asked to talk to his boss and they told me he doesn't have one which I find hard to believe. We are very frustrated and all they say we are sorry and will get it resolved. Well five months later and not resolved. We have paid $15,000 already and owe $1,000 more by May 2. We had thought about legal action against them. We want this finished or refund money on door and we will find someone lese to install our door.Business Response

Thank you for the information regarding Complaint ID #********. We would like to first apologize for the delays that this customer has experienced on their project. We do our absolute best to ensure any type of delays on a project are avoided, however they can arise, and we want to reassure this customer that we are committed to getting this resolved for them. We do have the new door frame on order after our last visit. This will allow us to replace the entire door in the opening with the correct color and bring this to a resolution. The door frame is in production, and has an ETA to arrive to our warehouse the week of 5/13. We will continue to monitor this though, as it is an estimated date at this time, so we want to make sure if there are any changes, we can let the customer know of those too. While we understand they had been trying to work with the Production Manager, our Customer Experience team is ready and available to provide them any updates they need in the meantime, and will be the ones to schedule their service appointment once we have all the products. We appreciate their continued patience as we await the last items needed and look forward to getting them scheduled as quickly as possible once all parts have arrived.

Thank you for the information regarding Complaint ID #********. We would like to first apologize that there have been multiple service appointments since the original installation visit to remedy the concerns from the install. We understand that this can be frustrating, and realize that we are asking for this customer's continued patience; however, it is our goal and commitment to get everything corrected for them so that they will love their windows from our company and that is exactly what we are set out to do. After our recent visit, we were able to get the order information needed for the remaining tempered sash and the bulb seal on the window that needs replaced. We are awaiting those to arrive to our location so we can set our return visit. At this time, the estimated arrival to our warehouse is the week of 3/11. We will continue to monitor this order so that if anything changes, we can provide them an update that week, or if the parts have arrived we can go ahead and schedule our return visit. We appreciate their patience as we await this last order, and look forward to getting our visit scheduled to bring about a resolution for them!

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
[I appreciate that the company has ordered the correct sash and plans to install, though they have told us this on three separate occasions and it has been wrong each time. I also do not see anything about fixing the window leaks on the majority of the windows which *****, the representative that was out here last said needed to be done immediately and would possibly be done in the next week. I am continually upset about the lack of communication as I have yet to be called and informed of any updates. I have had to call on at least 4 separate occasions ********* in on the status of the order and three of those times I have been told, that it was "overlooked". The order of these windows was *** of 2023. We are still actively seeking a completion of the job, almost a year later.]

Despite the cement on our front drive that is stained from the foam used to install the windows. And the actual installation has yet to be proven to be better than the previous. They did come and complete the jobs today. I am appreciative that the job is now complete. I am still upset that I was charged for their mistake and that getting the job completed required me having to reach out multiple times as well as having to send a letter to the Better Business Bureau, but the job has been completed as of today.

Placed our order in April 2023 and we paid upfront. We financed part of it and wrote a personal check for the remainder. We were told ***** weeks for delivery of our 11 new windows, 2 patio doors and 1 bay window. We received delivery of the 11 windows and 2 patio doors on September 11th, 2023. 24 weeks after we paid in full!! The installers said the bay window was manufactured wrong they weren't going to even try to install it. A measuring guy came out that day to confirm that he measured right and it wasn't his fault, manufacturing screwed it up. We didn't care who's fault it was, we want the $12,000 bay window manufactured again. We paid for it in full 24 weeks ago. We were told the operations manager would contact us. Nobody contacted us. When the installers left we noticed 2 outside windows were never caulked, soffit was pushed up (like they pushed it in with a ladder), and both the screen doors for the patio were scratched up. When we started cleaning the windows, there were four of them that we couldn't even take apart to clean. My husband called them and we were told they would re order the bay window, smaller rollers for the four windows, 2 screens and someone would come out to caulk the two missed windows and fix the soffit. One guy came out to caulk the two missed windows and put the soffit back into place. Now fast forward to December and nothing had happened and no phone calls were made to us. We have made all calls with no real information given. My husband calls and is told that everything is in. They will send out a crew on 12/7. 12/7 arrives and one guys shows up with the 2 screens. He also fixed the soffit again. No rollers and NO BAY WINDOW. We've lost patience so husband calls and asks for an operations manager. She has no information but says she'll have the ******* operations manager call him back today, 12/11/23. NO call. Husband calls her and is told the bay window has been ordered again. Still not sure when we will see our $12,000 window.Business Response

That said, we have spoken with the customer, and are working to provide them the most up to date information regarding the bay window reorder. We appreciate their continued patience, and we look forward to our next outreach and ultimately our return visit to complete the needed work. Thank you for the opportunity to respond.

BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.
When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.
BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.
As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
