Ready to give up on good Customer Service; positive—-they showed up on time; hard workers. The negative side: unhappy with the outside caulking around outside edges of window:; a slight dent along edge of sliding door,. The Head installer said I hollered at him when I asked about the deficiencies. Trying to make me feel bad because I wanted to know why the caulking looked bad. Would I recommend : Not Sure: I wish I had gone through a different company. The Sales Rep was very good and helpful; he’s no longer with the company; their loss
Response from World Of Windows A Franchise of Window World Inc.
"Ms. [Member Name Removed] We are sorry for your issues. We provide a lifetime warranty to our customers, so our work has to be sealed with caulk, and where window and door trim meet brick is very difficult work because brick being very uneven is not a perfect construction material. Our crew leader talked with you about your installation work, and told you they would be glad to correct any issues if you would just show them to him. You told him everything was great. I am somewhat confused though, because on your completion form on 8/6/18 the day we installed your window and doors, you gave us all 5's, our top rating, and said you would recommend us to friends, which is what we strive for daily. Monday was a bright sunny day here in the Carolinas, and with white trim it is sometimes hard to see a small dent, and we try to recognize this and avoid this. We will be happy to come out an correct any dented material if you will please call the office to let us know you want this scheduled."

A professional young man arrived on time. He gave me a written estimate, then called a couple days later, saying his math was wrong, by over 3,000.00. The Wadells, that physically stand on their windows on TV, didn't stand by their salespersons estimate. Having been a business owner of large farm equipment....combines, silage choppers, hay equipment, my sales staff made mistakes, but to keep my customers, I ate the loss. I now recommend Universal Windows, Charlotte Tina Black SJ Black & Son Blacks Equipment and Trucking Monroe NC

After two visits by the salesman and measurements we agreed on the quote. Upon asking about necessary Rock Hill city permits we were told they do not file city permits. We went with another contractor who will file the necessary permits.
Response from World Of Windows A Franchise of Window World Inc.
"Mr. [Member Name Removed] we wish you the best with your project, and we did provide you with an estimate. Sorry we couldn't help you in the Historical District in Rock Hill. We did make two visits to your home to look at your windows at no charge, and we ultimately declined to contract the work with you with your requirements. We appreciate the opportunity to help you."

Pricing was good, that?s why we went there. On the windows, everything was so bad that I wrote back to them. They threaten me to go to the courthouse, and we finally settled out of the court with a lesser amount of money. So, with that they are gone, they?re done. This was the World of Windows.
Response from World Of Windows A Franchise of Window World Inc.
"Mr. [Member Name Removed], We are sorry you wouldn't honor our contract and pay the balance due after the windows were installed as per the contract terms. We never threatened you, we did ask you to honor the contract and pay the balance due. After you refused to pay, we did inform you that we would take all necessary steps to collect the money owned."

About eight years ago I purchased replacement windows (10) for my whole house from WOW.  I recently noticed that there was a permanent film on one of the widows.  I called WOW and they said they would manufacture the custom window and get back with me.  A few weeks later I received a call to set up a date to deliver and install the window.  Matt from WOW came out, installed the new window and gave me a quote I requested for doors.  Everything went very well.  WOW definitely stands by their products.  This seal problem has happened in the past and I experienced the same quick response from them.   If I ever move and need new windows I will call WOW.

Have had windows installed both in my home and later at my place of business within last 1.5 years.  In both cases Trevor came, explained product options and did measurements.  Windows were installed on schedule and done professionally.  After installation there was one minor problem that was quickly remedied to my complete satisfaction.

World of Windows is very professional, provides excellent customer service and value.  I recommend them and will use them again.

Went really well.  This is the second time I've used this company and they make the process pretty painless.  They were the best quote for some of the nicest windows.  I still have a couple of windows left and I still need to get the fascia boards wrapped to make my home maintenace-free.  I will work with them again!

Contract signed 6/11/14 with a 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed by Owner 
We paid 1/2 down as agreed $9,500.00.
Windows ordered.
July 16th, 2014 - First day of Installation.
Job was promised to be completed in 2 days - Job NOT completed in 2 days.
Installers never returned after November 14, 2014.
Due to Installers being careless our personal property was damaged in the amount of $3,650.00.
We are NOT 100% Satisfied in the LEAST due to the FACT that it took 17 weeks to somewhat complete a job that was promised to be completed in 2 days.  We are extremely UNSATISFIED due to the FACT that the vast majority of work done was inferior and one of the installers fraudulently covered up rotten wood and lied about it - FRAUD. He THREATENED the female owner. The POLICE were called out while the OWNER of World of Windows was there with the threatening Installer.  Tim Waddell was asked NEVER to trespass again to our home. Therefore, after this turn of events; the FACT that one of World of Windows installers COVERED up ROTTEN WOOD and LIED about it - FRAUD - the OWNER made the executive dicision to uncover every window wrapped and redo each and every window at NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE. The Owner decided that on November 14, 2014 he no longer would correct any additional errors to the job. We were presented a Bill of the balance due of $9,500.00.  We subtracted the $3,650.00 of damages done to our property and personal belongings making a new balance owed of $5850.00.  We presented the check in the amount of $5,850.00 to Tim Waddell.  He became belligerent and DEMANDED the original balance due of $9,500.00 with NO consideration of the damages known to him in the amount of $3,650.00.
Additionally, we UNHAPPY due to the FACT that World of Window Installers SMOKE on the JOB. Installers SWEAR using the F-word constantly. Installers parade SHIRTLESS outside on our grounds while working. Installers arrive LATE to work. Installers on more than one occasion were a NO-SHOW to work and NEVER CALLED to inform us. We asked continuously throughout this lengthy process for the installers not to smoke, not to swear, not to go shirtless, to arrive on time, and to show up or at least call to inform us otherwise. We were more than patient, lenient, and bent over backwards to accommodate each and every date requested to come at the choosing of World of Windows, not our choosing of times or dates. Our lives were put on hold, and other additional work being done to our home was delayed and delayed due to a particular installer COVERING UP ROTTEN WOOD and THEN LYING ABOUT IT - BEING CAUGHT RED-HANDED.
Overall, this was the WORST EXPERIENCE we have ever been through. We would NEVER recommend World of Windows to anyone.  They lied, covered up rotten wood, and tried to cheat us. They were caught red-handed and then threatened one of us. The POLICE were called out to our home.  Owner was banned from our premises and so was that installer who tried to CHEAT us; claiming he replaced all the rotten wood.  Which he did NOT.  We give World of Windows an: F minus - the WORST.
Response from World Of Windows A Franchise of Window World Inc.
"World of Windows contracted with the [member name removed]’ to install 50 windows in their older home that was in the process of being rehabilitated. The suggestion that 50 plus windows would be installed in 1 or 2 days is unrealistic. We encountered rotten wood at their home which required extra work. World of Windows contract provides for extra cost for this type remedial work, but the [member name removed]’ have failed and refused to pay these charges. Now they have published this misleading and defamatory report, in order to attack us. World of Windows did quality work on the property, and expects to be paid for it. World of Windows has filed litigation against these owners to enforce our valid contract. On advice of counsel, we are limiting our specific responses to the [member name removed] false and preposterous accusations. This matter should be and will be handled in the courts."

The order was placed which took an additional 2-3 weeks because of the specialty glass that was on the door.  The door was installed without complications, however, there were several defects on the slab of the door and the wrong hardware was delivered. No problem...A new slab was ordered along with the correct hardware and it was installed within 4-5 weeks.  They also installed the new trim on the interior of the door.  Installer really knew his business and everything went off without a hitch.  Several small glitches to start with but the company made good on everything without so much as a single question.  Would highly recommend!

They were excellent. The quality of the windows is great, the installation went very well and when we had one issue where we found one spot that they hadn't caulked, they came back out very timely and they did that for us.

The product that they were offering was superior and they took less than 4 hours to complete the job. It was fast.

Not well.  From the beginning, no show for the measuring appointment.  Then we finally submitted the order and about one hour before the scheduled installation time, I received a call that they couldn't make it.  I had delayed a road trip waiting for them to show up.  This put me on the road late.  I called in a make up time.  No one called back to let me know if that time was available.  Instead they just showed up.  I wasn't at the location and had no way to change plans to get there.  It was finally completed (the first half).  The second half of the installation should have gone better, but it didn't.  The windows were ordered and when they arrived, an installation time was scheduled.  The evening before the appointment, I received a call that the installers were not going to be available and it would be assigned to someone else.  That next morning the back up installers called to indicate that they wouldn't have to take on another installation.  Finally a few weeks later, another appointment was set and the installers came but one window couldn't be installed because of a valence that needed to be removed.  Had this been pointed out before the install date, I could have arranged for it to be removed.  So when I finally got this custom made and fitted valence down, again the installer canceled the day of the appointment and a different team called and I mentioned that a thermostat in one of the window areas from the first install, was not working now.  At that point, they canceled because they wanted the original installer to come out and check it and install the last window.  Finally, the original installer was scheduled and actually showed up.  The other thing is that although the husband and wife team who did the first half of the installation were very friendly, I found debris in every room after they left.  What I really didn't like was that they force you to fill out an evaluation form before they leave.  I think we should have the option of filling it out, and it should be left with the customer to fill out later.  I definitely would not have rated some things as high as I did.
