UWD is Mentor, Ohio’s premier resource for top quality windows, doors, and siding. Every day, we encounter homeowners who need some direction on making home improvements that will yield great value.

Don’t Sacrifice Quality Windows for Price

When you’re looking to save energy in the home, you probably want to save money on your remodeling as well. The good news is that homeowners no longer need to go bankrupt while replacing their windows. UWD is a replacement window company that combines quality with value—something that other Mentor window companies lack.

With four package options for homeowners to choose from, you’ll find today’s top energy-saving technologies are available within your budget.

Your home will stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, with the ultimate goal of keeping your utility bills as low as possible. A single application of low-e is applied to this glass to reduce ultraviolet rays coming into your home.

What happens if you skimp on quality for price? You likely won’t experience the benefits of UniShield® products from UWD, such as a more comfortable home and a return on investment as high as 75%. Furthermore, our window products include our True Lifetime Warranty for extra protection on any manufacture defects. Combined with expert installation with our certified InstallationMasters installers, your window will be exceptionally efficient every day of the year.

Consider Siding that’s Beautiful and Functional

Siding is one of the biggest aesthetic impacts that you can make on a home. While it’s exciting to browse all of your color options, it’s important to stay focused on finding products that are both beautiful and functional. You need an option that can protect your home in the harshest weather while increasing curb appeal, and you’ll find exactly that with UniShield® exterior.

UniShield® siding is the exclusive exterior option at UWD. You’ll find the exterior panels are built to last with heavy-gauge plastic. This outer shield is perfect for protecting your home from the elements and moisture damage, saving you a lot of headache and money from the costs of mold and mildew removal.

Every panel looks handcrafted with lifelike wood grain patterns modeled from real cedar. You’ll get the exact quality you’re looking for with today’s top trending colors, including mystic blue, platinum grey, vintage whicker, and Tuscan grey.

Once you pick your perfect panel color, don’t forget to highlight your home with vinyl architectural details. Vinyl scallops look great highlighting areas of many homes, including Victorians and Cape Cods. You can also top off your home’s look with quality soffit that is perfect for blocking wind-driven rain.

When your new exterior is ready, don’t try installation as a DIY approach. New siding installation is an intricate process that should be handled by the pros at UWD. Combined with our True Lifetime Warranty and color fade guarantee, you’ll love the look of your siding as it protects your home for years to come.
