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 is an award winning home improvement company based in Cleveland, Ohio. 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 salesman, Jeff, was prompt and courteous and was able to get me the price that I wanted. They haven't installed yet, but I'm told by others that they do a good job. Just hoping that they can rush it.

Jake Frantz came to my home and made a excellent presentation about the company, their products, their services and warranty coverage. His clear presentation made me comfortable that my decision would yield the expected benefits. Because of Jake's clarity, I am confident that there will be no unexpected, after the sale surprises. His approach was not a pressure, "gotta leave here with a sale" approach. He let the value of the products and integrity of his company make the sale for him I am looking forward to a productive business relationship with Universal Windows Direct.

Excellent. Shawn Maraviglia was very professional and very informational. He totally understood my needs, both with the quality and type of siding as well as financing as I am ready to retire. He did a great job explaining the benefits of working with Universal as well as the product they provide. The presentation met all of my expectations. Great Job!

After checking reviews on Angie’s list and the BBB on universal windows and other competitors, like window nation we decided to go with the “A” rated universal windows direct, and we have not regretted it. Jake from the Bedford office was on time, professional, and no-nonsense. He took his time making sure all of our questions were answered and we received the best deal. I will definetly be recommending this business to family and friends!

Everyone we interacted with, from the sales rep to the installation crew, were professional, knowledgeable, polite and efficient. The installation was much faster and less disruptive than we anticipated. They took great care to leave our home neat and clean. We are very happy with the quality of the windows and the workmanship of the installers. Have only had them for a few days, so can't address improved energy efficiency or durability, but there has been a noticeable difference in outside noise, as promised. Looking forward to washing the tilt in windows in the future. They are very easy to operate. Overall very satisfied and would recommend Universal Windows.

The roofing crew arrived at my house around 8:15 AM and got immediately to work at stripping off the old shingles. It wasn't long after their arrival that one of their team informed me that a considerable portion of the wood underlayment on my roof was in BAD shape and would require replacement, a circumstance which would add roughly 10% to a bill which was already a bit thick to begin with. Still, quality shingles over a lousy foundation make no sense ... and it's worthy of note that SOME roofing companies would have just gone right ahead and used that existing (and badly flawed) foundation. Long story short, they finished up around 3:45 PM and cleaned up THOROUGHLY, leaving me with one VERY FINE LOOKING NEW ROOF. The paperwork was dealt with (with one small issue which I'll alert UWD to), but overall, I have to say big-time kudos to Dusty and his troops. They done good.

I would highly recommend this company, windows, and would recommend to all of my family and friends! No hard sell, Our salesman Shaun Maraugh was upfront without playing games. Universal Windows were prompt and professional.Just wanted you to know that I was very impressed with the live demonstration they did to show that there product is a real game changer in the difference in the seal they use between the windows on how effective it is on repelling heat/cold from the outside while still containing house temperature to other mass produce windows also they give a great lifetime warranty on there product plus a discount for Veterans too so that is great.. All together between the extensive background they also do siding along with other stuff check them out before you lose out on a great deal.

Excellent! Shawn M came out to our home for the presentation and was so knowledgeable, informative and thorough about the products that we made a deal with him same day. We were referred by a friend and so glad we were. We look forward to seeing our new windows and can’t wait to spread the word about them! The best part of the presentation is how much Shawn not only believes in the products he’s selling but shows a passion for it.
