About us

Since its inception by co founders William Barr and Michael Strmac in 2002, Universal Windows Direct has lived by the philosophy of CANEI - "Constant and Never Ending Improvement". This philosophy holds true in all aspects of our business, from sales and marketing to installation and service and has catapulted UWD from a small, local home improvement company to one of the largest exterior remodeling companies in the country. Every one of our employees strives continuously to be the best in the business at what they do and provide our customers with only the highest levels of sales, service, and support. We think our company's history speaks to this goal and to the power of what we can accomplish by never settling. Universal Windows Direct of Indianapolis opened in 2015. Our products feature the exclusive UniShield brand and come with a transferable lifetime warranty on materials and labor. We are a fully licensed, bonded, and insured company and EPA Lead-Safe certified. In addition, a portion of every sale goes to support a growing list of local charities.

The work done and product used I am very happy with. Unfortunately, the original quote which we were told was for the entire house and small shed was quoted at $17,550.00 for 8 squares. When installers arrived they said the job would need an additional 7 squares to do the job quoted. The additional material required would cost an additional $4,995.00. This was an error on Universal Windows which I had to pay a higher price to get the job done.

They did an excellent job throughout the entire process. You also can’t beat the lifetime warranty on their windows. Shows they stand by their work. This proved true with how they quickly repaired a minor caulking issue. As long as they stand true to their promise, I will use them for any future window installations. The only thing that I suggest is sending an email with a date/time reminder of appointments.

The installation team arrived on time and did a spectacular job. We had three babies doing their best to get in their way whenever possible but the guys were very polite and were able to work safely and efficiently despite our "obstacles".

They came when expected! Which is always a big plus. They took seven old aluminum windows out and replaced them with the new ones we had picked out. They were very professional and got the job done in a day!

Very happy with the whole process. The sales rep was very knowledgable. The installation crew did a great job and cleaned up after they left. I've had some terrible experiences with home depot installers and this was such a breath of fresh air! Would definitey recommend

The gentleman that installed my windows was very friendly, and all around, it went well. I was pleasantly surprised by his early arrival. Usually, workers are late and I really appreciate punctuality. The cleanup was excellent and everything was installed very well.

Description of Work: Justin arrived on-time to provide an estimate on replacing 19 wood windows with vinyl windows. He was knowledgeable, personable, and explained the process well (Polaris Thermalweld windows). After he left we were impressed and they were moved to the top of our list of contractors (it was our fourth bid). Well, our fifth and final bid with a different contractor (Legacy Windows and Doors) ended up with the same brand of window (Polaris) but the premium grade and at a lower price. A day after our final bid, Justin's manager called and asked how his presentation was and what we thought. I told him I was impressed but we received a better price. To which the manager replied, well don't sign with the others, we'll work with you and lower the price. I don't like those tactics, which I told him, and said if you want my business you need to be honest and provide your best price up-front.

We encountered Universal Windows at the Indianapolis Home Show in January. They took time to discuss our needs & their product in detail. We were impressed then. Before the Home Show actually ended, a salesman came to our home & demonstrated their product. We were impressed & chose Universal Windows over the competitors. They called about a week prior to schedule our installation date. The installers showed up when they said they would. Very timely. They were very courteous. After showing them what windows they were replacing that day, they got right to work. The old windows that were being removed became problematic & didn't want to come out, even though they were broken & rotten in spots. Removal took a little longer than expected. By late afternoon, they had the windows installed & trimmed out inside. They still had all of the wrapping & trimming to do on the outside, but the next day the weather was less than accommodating as it was raining heavily with a forecast of no letup for the next 2 days. The original install day was a Tuesday, so to finish, they said they would be there on Friday. They came back & were as punctual as Tuesday. They actually took less than an hour for lunch both days. They completed the outside work by mid-afternoon. Everything was cleaned up & taken away. We are very happy with the work that has been done & have shown off our new bay window with the etching to several friends & family & they have all liked it. All other windows that we replaced where like what were removed. d
Description of Work: Replaced 5 windows & deck door.
