Homeownership In The Pacific Northwest Comes With Unique Challenges

Owning a home in Western Washington is different than owning a home in many other parts of the country.
From persistent rainfall and moisture management to changing temperatures, coastal influences, and aging housing stock, homeowners throughout the Puget Sound region face unique conditions that impact windows, doors, glass, siding, roofing, insulation, and overall home performance.
This resource center was created specifically for local homeowners looking for practical advice, seasonal maintenance tips, renovation ideas, and information about protecting and improving their homes.
Whether you live in Seattle, Tacoma, Bellevue, Kent, Renton, Puyallup, Gig Harbor, Bremerton, or the surrounding communities, these resources are designed with Pacific Northwest homes in mind.

From the estimate process to the job itself, all excellent. Ken was personable and very efficient in measure and telling us what to expect. The crew was obviously very experienced, doing 7 windows in a little over half a day. Our only prep was moving furniture; we had no post job things to do at all - the crew cleaned up everything. This was a great experience. I will admit that based on good recommendations on the Fircrest 411 site, I did not even get a second bid, so can't comment in detail on the value; I do think what we paid was in the ballpark. It's so nice when a contractor job goes so well from beginning to end; this is not always the case. I highly recommend SRC.

This company had excellent reviews and my experience was 5 star worthy. I appreciated the knowledge of the sales staff and how they respected where we were at in our buying process. We had educated ourselves and this was not our first bid. We were familiar with the product and wanted to get to pricing, which they did for us (I do not recommend if you are still learning about windows). We found the company to be responsive, professional and such a pleasure to work with from sales, installers to the business office personnel. We had one window that came scratched that the installers caught and placed a claim into Milgard for replacement which happened promptly. We are so happy with our Milgard windows and the pricing we got. You can't go wrong with SRC Windows if they have what you are looking for. I would recommend them to a friend and would use them again without hesitation.

SRC Windows and Doors is hands down one of the best suppliers I’ve worked with. I’ve used them on many jobs and they are ALWAYS reliable and ALWAYS on time. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful—they make the whole process easy from start to finish.
Quality products, great communication, and people who actually care—can’t ask for more than that. I’ll continue using them for all my window and door needs and would recommend them 100% without hesitation.

Before and after, please excuse the clutter we are still renovating! The crew were very friendly and quick! They laid tarps to catch and screws or old calking. They left no mess! I would absolutely recommend SRC windows!!

We are a developer and remodeling contractor who knows a ton about buying windows! SRC Windows is amazing. Their customer service is outstanding to say the least. They make the ordering process simple and are very accommodating to any needs that are requested. Tess the owner goes above and beyond and gets the job done. Thank you SRC, we all greatly appreciate your team here at Pacific Coast.
