Can you sand and restain hollow core doors?

• <div><p>As long as you do it carefully, you can sand and restain hollow core doors. However, it’s risky because the veneers on hollow core doors are so thin that sanding and restaining might cause damage to the doors. If you do move forward with this project, sand the doors lightly with a medium-grit sandpaper.</p></div>

Do doors have to be the exact size?

• <div><p>Yes, if you’re replacing a door slab, it must be the exact size of your existing door. If your new door is too small, you’ll need to purchase a new door to fit or hire a handyperson to make your frame smaller. Or if it's too big, you’ll need to return it or shave it down to fit.</p></div>

How long do patio doors last?

• <div><p>Traditional sliding glass patio doors can last as long as 20 to 30 years, with proper care and maintenance. A patio door's lifespan will depend on whether the door was installed properly, as well as how much wear and tear it gets over the years. Regular repairs will help it last longer.</p></div>

Should you paint doors on or off hinges?

• <div><p>It’s certainly easier to paint a door while it’s still on its hinges, but you may get better results if you remove it from the hinges. Painting a door off the hinges allows you to work on it horizontally, making prep work easier, reducing drips, and allowing undisturbed drying time.</p></div>

Do steel doors add value to your home?

• <div><p>Yes, new steel doors add value to your home. They improve curb appeal, increase home security, and make your home more energy-efficient. High-quality steel doors are durable, low-maintenance, and insulate well against hot and cold temperatures. Potential buyers often appreciate the added protection and aesthetic upgrade, so new steel doors can help your home stand out and increase its resale value. </p></div>

"The Smart Home features they installed, such as thermostat and door locks, etc. do not always work. For example, the Honeywell thermostat can no longer be operated from our phones and is difficult to install. Remote door locks are also unpredictable."

We manufacture Advanced Energy Panels (AEPs). AEPs are a retrofit for historic windows or any window people can't afford or don’t wish to replace. AEPs are interior window insulating panels and can be installed in any building –office, home or industrial. AEPs have a higher insulation and air sealing rating and provide greater comfort than most replacement windows, yet they are a fraction of the cost. AEPs are custom made to fit over existing openings, protecting, preserving and improving your existing windows.

Universal Windows Direct is one of the fastest growing home improvement companies in all of America. This unprecedented growth is a result of our unique ability to supply the homeowner with the highest quality American made products at or below market prices. Due to our buying power, we are able to get the lowest possible price for the consumer without the additional cost associated with a "normal" home improvement / investment company. At Universal Windows Direct we have a window or door that can fit into any budget, we allow the homeowner to customize the exact style and options that would fit best in their home. We understand that today's consumer is ever changing and what fits for one homeowner may not fit another. Our trained representatives will guide you during your decision making process to find the perfect 2016 energy star window or door for your home .

"The sales call was late October, 2022. Problem #1 was the "take it now or lose the price" sales pitch. I should have walked him to the door. Two weeks later I was told 2 windows were "not possible" to make as promised. A change order was done with a more invasive installation. The 8-12 week delivery promise meant new windows by mid-February. I heard nothing from their office for months. 12 weeks became 3 months, 4 months, 6 months and NO windows, no communication. My sales rep turned this over to a service rep and didn't tell me. Calls and emails went unanswered for days and weeks. In April, I posted on their facebook page, receiving a response installation had been scheduled, even tho I had not been called! Early May 2023: Installation day comes and 4 of the first 6 windows off the trailer were made wrong. It includes one of the 'not possible" windows built as originally promised. There were 10 days of unpleasant phone calls to hash this out, with a reminder that I had signed a contract and owed them payment. They also signed a contract and didn't deliver as promised. Late May 2023: After a discount offer, I allow them to install what they have and reorder the remainder, with a 4-6 week stated delivery. 6 weeks later, they say they have 2 of my 3 windows, yet I'm owed 4! Late September 2023: Four more month yields three good windows and one still incorrect. This crew fixed 3 of the prior window installations, which were very poor. Several exteriors had caulk that pulled away. One interior window had a tape wad filling a gap behind caulk and trim. November 2023: The final window arrives and is installled, 53 WEEKS after the original sales call. Bottom line: Universal used high pressure sales tactics, is really bad at keeping promises, bad at communicating with the customer and bad at talking within the company."
