Description of Work: Removed and installed 7 windows in an old part of DC row house. I was concerned initially because they came to the wrong address first (mine instead of tenants) then still confirmed the wrong address for the next appointment. BUT I still have then a high rating because once they did all the measuring everything was smooth. And the Windows looK GREAT and the install was also fast!

Thanks for taking the time to write. We recently switched to a new scheduling system which may explain the navigational error. Glad to hear everything worked out well and that you're enjoying the new windows!

Description of Work: I think Window Universe was the 3rd or 4th vendor I met with for replacing my windows. They were by far the best priced and most straight forward vendor I met. The price per window and option was clear and there was no ambiguity in what I was getting. They sell Revere windows but they don't provide much in terms of options for the windows which is likely how they manage to keep the cost down. I met with the salesman, he was good and answered all of my questions. I went with them immediately since everyone I met before I knew I wasn't going to go with for one reason or another (mainly for bang for buck). They also offered a finance option which is nice and I took it since it's a lot of money to part with at once. They estimated about 4-6 weeks from the order date to when they would be installed and the estimate was correct. However, some of the windows came damaged and they had to be ordered again. A few weeks later, the replacement windows were installed but then one of the sashes wouldn't open, so another technician had to be scheduled. To be honest, some of the delays don't bother me because things happen but they were good enough to stay on top of it and get it resolved, so I was happy overall.

Description of Work: I purchased Windows from Window Universe back in June. The first time I had the Windows measured (after I already paid for them) was in June. Then when I realized they hadn't actually measured they just came to my house to try to "sell me" on Windows I already bought, I had to schedule another appointment to have the Windows measured again came at the beginning of October!!!!! They then charged me again for the Windows even though I paid for them on Angie's list, and took a week to refund the money. They promised me they would be installed 4-6 weeks later.Now, it's two months later (December), they've had the Windows in stock since mid-Novemeber and still no Windows?!!!! And just postponed installation another week. This company is unprofessional and since I still don't have Windows, possibly a scam. Do not ever hire these people. I'm hesitant to use Angie's list after this experience.

Response from Window Universe
This is a bit of a strange one. This project has been completed for several months and this member has refused to pay her bill. We did have a difficult time scheduling this project, the communication was a challenge because this member was overseas and the property manger(s) we're a challenge to reach. We couldn't schedule measurement appointments because voice mailboxes were full and we couldn't get responses to emails. Then we had cell numbers out of service and credit cards declined. It certainly wasn't an easy project for anyone. In the DC area we have many customers who are overseas or traveling extensively. We're happy to help in any way we can, but we need an easy way to communicate if we're going to get the project done quickly. This project is 100% complete and looking great just like all of our projects. Unfortunately, this member is still difficult to reach and it appears she is trying to avoid paying her bill (or perhaps we have bad contact info again). This is a great example of how projects do sometimes get more difficult that one would expect and it's absolutely not the first time this sort of thing has happened. If you're the owner of a property and you're not in the area we absolutely need an easy way to reach someone who is responsible and we need a way to gain access to the property to do our work. We have many customers who are landlords or property managers and things typically work out just fine, but there is a higher potential for an issue when we can't reach the person who is in charge and we can't gain access to the property. This project, like all of our projects, does have our complete lifetime warranty so we'll always be here to help if you need us. And, if this member reads this, we've been trying to reach you for months regarding your outstanding balance. Perhaps we have an incorrect phone number and email. If you'd like to reach me directly you can call me on my personal cell number at 571-338-0390. Thanks!

Thanks for taking the time to write. I was just out at this members house yesterday checking out the second phase of the project. The new windows and sliding doors are looking great. We'll be starting the third phase, the entry doors, as soon as the rest of the construction is done. This is a beautiful project and we're glad to hear the customer is enjoying his experience!

I'm not sure about what happened with this customer. I see him in our system, but no order, or any notes about any problem or issue. If there is ever any difficulty with any scheduling we're only a phone call away. Our office is open over 70 hours a week so we're pretty easy to reach.

Description of Work: Replaced a total of 8 large horizontal sliders so far (2 light and 3 light) over two separate jobs in our 1960 split level mcm home. First time the installers were a little sloppy and marred the window sills prying out the old windows and left debris in the yard. I complained about it and the installers the second time around (different guys) were much better at performing a clean removal and installation of the other four windows.

Description of Work: Still not completed after over a month of initial installation of 20 windows, final payment not made. Missing one window that has now been on order for a while. I have had to initiate contact to find out status, not weekly like they say. One window that did arrive did not fit the window, so that window plus three others that were installed have not been completed leaving exposed wood on the outside of the three windows. The trim for capping is on site but I guess they are waiting for the one window.

Description of Work: Ordered a lot of windows, installed. They use subs to perform install. The sub didn't show the first of 2 scheduled install days, but they called me early in the morning, and he did all the install on day 2, so no big deal. The install work looks good, but the windows, which some installers had described as "flimsy" online, are, in fact, a bit flimsy feeling. So, B's on quality and punctuality. Also, they had to deal with odd bank requests and a settlement company handling refi proceeds, which they did without complaint. Overall, a satisfied customer.

Description of Work: The representative was almost an hour late. He was very thorough in answering my questions. His product was comparable in price to other window companies. I found him to be rather unprofessional, though. He was constantly checking his phone. He would be answering one of my questions and stop in mid-sentence because whatever he was reading on his phone had distracted him. This happened numerous times. After his presentation he was aggressive in trying to get me to sign a contract. It was if he turned into a snake oil salesman.

Response from Window Universe
Well that's an unusual one. We sure don't have any snake oil around here! I just left a voicemail for this member and I talked with our rep. I wonder if she's mixing us up with another company. From our records she was referred to us by a friend of hers and we met with her over a month ago. Our rep was a little late due to traffic and construction, but he did call to let the customer know his status. Anyone living around here knows how traffic can sneak up on you sometimes. All of our team members follow a pretty specific process. They talk with the customer about their needs, explain how we could help with their project and the go over the pricing and the options. Our meetings typically last 30-45 minutes and our goal is always to be the friendliest company in town. We don't do any discounts if you sign up today because we don't want you to feel pressured to make a quick decision. While many people do order their windows right away, some folks take over a year to think it over and that's just fine with us. Ever since the very first day we started this company many years ago we've never been pushy with folks. We do work hard to make sure we're offering the very best value in town and we offer a range of products to meet the needs of a very diverse group of customers. We now offer a written 110% Best Value Guarantee which ensures we're always offering the best deals on Angie's List. I would ask this member to please return my call so we can try to get to the bottom of what happened here. For anyone else thinking about a window project I promise our meetings are 30-45 minutes and we leave you with a clear itemized quote for your project. We're easy, you know, like Sunday morning. If anyone has any additional questions about this review or anything else you can call us at the office or give me a ring directly on my cell at 571-338-0390. I'm one of the owners of the company, my name is Dan and we're all here to help!
