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.

She was polite, thorough, and covered not only the basics of Universal's windows but also the finer details. We decided to hire their services after this encounter and look forward to seeing the finished product.

We met with Streve and Cody and not onl;y liked their product, but felt they were very professional. They were knowledgeable on not only their product but also their competitors products. Their pricing was fair and they went the extra mile to get our business. We would recommend Steve and Cody to anyone.

From our salesman, William, to our installers (Danny and his crew), I couldn't be happier. Not only did they remove our ancient swing type cottage windows from our sunroom in such good condition that we can either donate them or re-use them, but they installed the new windows so perfectly that it looks like a brand-new room in a 100-year-old house! They arrived and completed the 10 window job on time and cleaned up everything before they left. I highly recommend this company and this team.

Danny & Crew performed far beyond expectations. They completed the job with professionalism, efficiency, and we enjoyed having them around. A great group of guys that really care about the final product and the condition of your home when they leave each day. Highly recommended company, and be sure to ask for Danny & Crew.

Excellent. Windows ordered and delivered on the day sales rep said they would. Took 2 days as we were told. Install team on time. Very professional, polite and did the little extra things to make it go smooth. The inside blinds had to be taken down and re hung. Without question the install team preformed this task. Windows were washed/polished. Great guys! Will use Windows Direct on the next round.
Description of Work: 7 windows ordered, delivered and installed. Replaced windows taken away. Inside blinds taken down and re hung.

While the sales presentation went as expected, starting with an extremely high price, you just have to wait until the price comes down to one you're comfortable with. Having received several other quotes we knew approximately how much we should expect to pay and did end up with an acceptable quote. The salesman was very knowledgable and patient. The installers were prompt. Cliff did a very good job installing the windows. He was quick and professional, using drop cloths and shoe covers to protect the flooring. Once all the windows were installed he took the time to go over the operation of the windows, explaining the tilt in, lock mechanisms, screens etc. Very pleased with the new windows.

I'll be honest; my intention was to get a quote and move on to getting quotes from others to find the cheapest price. I ended up signing paperwork to replace over 30 windows and 3 sliding doors. Universal Windows Direct was the fourth company to come out and give us a price. Out of four companies, Jake (our sales guy) had the most impressive presentation and was the most prepared. Our windows are not old, but are contractor grade, meaning cheap. We are having major condensation issues and several windows are foggy. Out of four companies, Jake was the only one to explain why we are having the problem and why these new windows will not make the problem repeat itself. The product is almost identical to one of the top (and most expensive) window companies out there. The price on the other had was very hard to walk away from. Jake was courteous, respectful and very polite.
