Have you ever talked to "that guy" because you need help fixing a problem? Maybe he's a car…read moremechanic, or an IT guy, or a Sommelier at an expensive restaurant. You're there asking b/c you don't know how to fix it yourself and they have the knowledge to help you. You say something like: "I have 3 doors that need to be replaced and I need help getting started." Then you get a blank stare back at you. ... ... ... maybe he's waiting for something else? More words from me? Finally he says "I can't help you with that limited amount of information." And then he's done. That's it. Suddenly you realize you're too stupid to be engaging with such an expert in this field. Maybe I was arrogant to even think this place (called Seattle's Doorhouse" was the correct spot to start my door journey. "That guy", the "door expert", wanted me to know it, too. He rattled off the info that I would need to bring in with me to avoid 1) Wasting his time, 2) Broadcasting how "door stupid" I am, and 3) Be able to write them a fat check. I would need door measurements and wall thickness numbers. (Awesome, I can get those!) The tone ion his voice was, however, the verbal equivalent to an eye roll when he quickly listed a dozen numbers toward me: 60by35by120$13575x130x55$250. I think he was throwing me a bone to get me out the door with some numbers at high speed. It worked. I couldn't get out of there quick enough. And it's because of 3 things: 1) I don't know doors like "that guy" knows doors 2) I'm an idiot in general 3) I'm an expert at wasting the time of other experts.

Shame you can't treat customers better. I've spent thousands in this store on doors and this will be the last time I come here or recommend it.

We called our project "The Window From Hell." It was a HUGE trapezoid window up high in a 2-story…read moreliving room, and it needed to be replaced after its seal failed. I got bids, and was the most impressed with Danny L at Signature Windows. We had a tight deadline because the home was going on the market and access to the window, especially in the rain, was really challenging. Meeting the deadline, and the safety of the installers, were non-negotiable. Danny came out the very next day to measure the Window From Hell and, not only did he give me the best price, but his company was the only one that had all the scaffolding equipment readily available at no extra charge. The window arrived sooner than expected, and installation was quickly scheduled to meet the deadline. Then we hit a snag: some epic rain made the cedar roof too slippery for safe conditions. Brent and his crew of expert (and very brave) installers rigged up a safe way to haul this brand-new Mother of ALL Windows up to the second floor and install it using very long ladders, secure scaffolding, and harnesses. I think we had 4 or 5 installers for this job. It took all day to get the old Window From Hell out and the new Mother of All Windows installed. But what a job! Perfect caulk lines, perfect cleaning of the glass, perfect clean-up of the job site, indoors and out. Job done ON TIME, SAFELY, and at an excellent price. If Signature can handle my Window From Hell, I am very confident they can install ordinary double-hung windows that exceed your expectations for quality, price, timeliness, and workmanship. I highly recommend Signature Windows.

I thought I had posted a review already but it seems as if it's been removed…read more TLDR Pros: look good, relatively timely installation Cons: don't close/stay closed, don't functions as promised, poor customer service. After months of going back and forth trying to verify details regarding sound reduction, and adding a header to make the doors we wanted feasible, we place an order for doors that we thought would allow us to have a functional closed office space/guest room. It took about 3-4 months to produce and install, which was just a bit later than promised but not unexpected. The friendly installers came in early December and installed the doors in one day. They look fantastic in the space, just as promised. However, installers left the baseboard cut up and raw, and didn't leave the pieces so we could fix it ourselves and the doors would not properly close. The door frames bowed considerably and the base wheels were also improperly installed in the doors. I notified customer service immediately of the issues. It took two or three emails to get any response and they kept putting off scheduling repairs. When I posted a negative review (which seems to have been deleted), they promptly scheduled a repair. The repair addressed the gap in the middle, but not the wheel, baseboard or bowing issue. We were tired of dealing with getting the issue resolved so we decided to let it go and do our best to work with it. Unfortunately, that was not the end. Now, two months after the 'repair', the doors actually open on their own 3-4" immediately after they are closed. So they no longer function as doors. I'd be happy to change my review if the product we paid for is repaired or replaced so it will function like a sliding door should. We may actually have to move houses or pay someone to remove and install an entirely different product since we were relying on doors that fully close for our current house to function for us as our family grows.

We worked with SDC to close our office off, we had an open wall an we where debating whether to…read moreframe it and close it off or adding a movable panel which allows more light. With cost of construction materials, going after this option was better. Not only did the project met our expectations from pricing perspective but also the installation and final product was beyond what we expected. We worked with the team over email and planning installations, had several visits to measure, provide feedback, prep the area and both our Sales lead Sakura, as well as the the installation team Jonathan and Lauren - did an amazing job. They brought a commercial level of engagement to a residential project and we are happy with the results. The finish of the door is modern and in alignment with our home. Looking to continue to work with SDC for future projects we have.

We had a 21-year-old Rheem water heater that was still doing okay but had never been serviced, so…read morewe didn't want to push our luck. I got four bids. The Rheem estimate from the big box store was ridiculous; the teaser price went up by 50% once they actually itemized the install. Emerald City's came in comparable to our usual plumber, but with the added benefit of getting another Rheem instead of a different brand and adding an automatic shut-off in case of leaks. Emerald City partners with McClendon Home Services for the water heater installs. Jesse and Aaron were on time and professional. Jesse checked our meter at the street and explained why we didn't need an expansion tank and, in fact, why having one could unnecessarily increase our water bill. We now have a 10-year parts-and-labor warranty and peace of mind. We also got an estimate for windows, but unfortunately Emerald City doesn't currently provide exterior painting services. We still might loop back with them in the future for first-floor windows where we could paint the trim ourselves. Overall, we're happy with the communication, customer service, and value.

We found him to be very friendly and seemingly honest and dedicated to quality from his workers. What we experienced afterward was a very different story. He had indicated this would be a 1-2 day project. It ended up being 8-10 days, and there were still issues that they have yet to follow up on. After at least 5 separate attempts on our part to get things fixed and finalized. Every time we call, they commit to a follow up, and then we are completely ghosted. We were also promised proof that they register the 50-year warranty paperwork with Trex, for us. But we have yet to see any evidence of this. The workers, most days, didn't show up, gave no notice that they weren't coming, and required us to constantly call, email, text, to try and find out what was going on. It has been over a month now, since the project was supposedly "completed". And still, even after another phone call this past week, no one has called us back to fix or even schedule anything for the remaining issues. Very disappointed in this company!!!

It's now been 10 months since completion and we've experienced zero issues whatsoever, which is testament to the quality of the work. From the start, Kirill was responsive and responsible. His bid was competitive, and he was extremely detail-oriented. Since we wanted to order our own windows from Dunn Lumber, we had multiple conversations to ensure the measurements were exactly right. His thoroughness paid off -- all the windows arrived exactly as planned, avoiding delays or returns. During the installation process itself, Kirill and his crew (Ivan and Ivan) were always on time, courteous, efficient, and professional. They may be the ONLY contractors we've ever worked with who finished within the timeline that they laid out. Overall, we really enjoyed working with Kirill and would 100% recommend him to anyone looking to replace windows or doors. It would be nice if they also offered finishing services, like drywall touch-up and painting, but the quality of the work that they do specialize in is absolutely impeccable. Don't think twice about hiring Cascade!
