Got recommended 316 wholesale from a real estate friend of mine. I will say I'm glad he did, Cory came in gave me a bid and timeline. The bid was the most reasonable one i received after shopping 2-3 other installers. After they installed my windows they also did a black aluminum wrapping to polish off the look. Going forward they will be my first call for my own home, investment homes and flips.

316 Direct Wholesale!!!! I contacted them to get a second quote on replacement windows! Cory, was helpful during the estimate by answering questions and some I didn’t even think to ask! Cory came, quoted me under under what the big named construction companies did so it was a no brainer!Due to it being 2022 and everything being pushed back Cory said it might be 14-16 weeks before the windows got it in, however it was not that long at all. As soon as the windows came in Cory worked with my schedule and had my 10 windows replaced in no time! They cleaned any mess they made and have my house looking great. I will definitely be recommending these guy to anyone who is looking!!! Thank You, Cory & 316 Direct Wholesale ….Codie T.

316 Direct Wholesale made our custom front door for our new home. The door is fantastic, opens on a pivot and looks beautiful. Everyone that comes over comments on it and talks about how awesome it looks and works. Cory with 316 Direct was kind enough to come over and touch up a few scratches on the door after we got moved in. Totally recommend these guys!

Cory was awesome to work with! He installed our upstairs windows all by himself! Very professional and punctual. Would recommend 316 Direct Wholesale to all my friends and family! Will be using them again to install the other half of our windows downstairs.

316 was awesome to work with. Even with all the supply chain issues they were able to measure, order and install all new windows in 3 weeks. Windows seem to be great quality as well. Looking forward to using them on all my future projects.

First i’m not one to write reviews like I should. I typically only write when I have really bad experiences or extremely good ones. This review one of my good ones. We have had replacement windows on our plate for years. Every year when we talk about it the costs are just a bit too much to pull the trigger. Ran in to Cory and he offered to quote our windows. Once I received the quote I had to ask twice if the price was correct or if he had maybe overlooked something. After we ordered, I still was a bit skeptical if there was going to be some hidden costs that would come into the equation as it almost felt too good to be true. I could not of been further off-base in my thinking. 316 ordered my windows, scheduled the installation, and installed my windows as promised. A bit mine blowing to get what was promised on time at a great value. Now with a good experience under my belt, I decided to continue down the path on more windows. I have since done two rentals, and my son and daughter-in-law had their house completed. I have had multiple properties done for close to an original competitor quote I had on a single house. AND my last experience was as good as the first. It’s refreshing to get a great product at a great value coupled with real customer service. If you have been waiting for replacement windows to become affordable. In my opinion the wait is over. - Scott

I'm a local real estate investor and have used several window companies in the Wichita Area and the best company that I've worked with is 316 Direct Wholesale. From typical window installation to unique commercial projects, they spend time to listen to my concerns/needs and offer me options and suggestions on a case by base basis. The installation crew is professional and do a great job of cleaning up after themselves. I would highly recommend this company.

I buy houses to rent or flip, I have used 316 Direct Wholesale to replace windows on 2 houses already and I will use them for every house that needs windows. They are the best in prices and they get the job done with no mess and very little to no rework. I am glad to have found them and encourage everyone to check out their prices before buying windows. Service is excellent and highly professional.

316 Direct was great to work with on our rental properties. Many of our units needed window replacements and they provided good service at a great value. I would recommend them to anyone.

REPLACED WINDOWS"I originally chose to work with 316 Direct Wholesale because they are a locally-owned company that offered quality windows at half of the cost their competitors did. Upon working with them, I enjoyed that the installation process was fast and trouble-free, with no mess left behind. I have already referred several friends to their company and will continue to do so!"

316Direct is awesome! I’ve continually used them on dozens of investment projects - and the responsiveness, quality of the product and workmanship of the installation has never wavered.They’re my go-to guys!
