We bought 10 windows and a sliding door from this company a few years ago. I am still trying to get them done right. OMG what a mess they left behind. They had 2 people removing all of these windows and installing them only two. They took a huge loud metal saw and cut our old windows out. Once they were installed they made a mess with the calking and left big gaps. Had them out here at least 4 times to fix the sliding door, it never has locked, ever the frame has broke, the replaced it, broke again. Very hard to open and close all this for only 8 grand, how special. I also get the run around when I call. Now we have leaking moisture around some of the windows, not to mention it still is ugly. Our bedroom window is off so it's not air tight like it should be. I am just tired of dealing with them that I keep putting off calling them again. I mean, why bother because it won't get done right. Seeing your report I didn't feel so alone in this. I am going to file a complaint with the BBB and the attorney generals office. West coast will not honor our guarantee either. It is a lifetime guarantee on the windows and the installation now they tell me they don't guarantee the caulking well last time I checked that was part of the installation. The caulking is part of my complaints because they used the wrong kind and they did a really messy job and cut up our window trim and everything and they covered it with caulking. The entire thing just makes me shed tears on it.

West Coast Vinyl did my windows and one sliding door. They did a great job. The contract says right in it that the customer has to maintain the caulk. Two people? Yeah, how many should it take? They are replacing your windows, not building your entire house. And using saws...um, yeah, what would you rather them do, use a chisel. This is the age of technology, electronics should be used. If you are having problems, why don’t you call them and ask who can help you instead of spreading gossip.

Here is a fact... 52 complaints in the past 36 months filed regarding West Coast Vinyl with the Tacoma BBB. Yikes! That should be a wake-up call. They seem to operate by going door to door through neighborhoods soliciting business. They stopped by our house yesterday and from what I could see were basically hiring guys off the street to go around and solicit for them. The guy that rang our bell was from 30 miles away and said he had no money and was down on his luck. WCV hired him the day before he came to our house and loaded him into a van with a bunch of others and set them loose on our neighborhood. That's a fact.

I suppose this door-to-door approach works for them? It seems to for the magazine subscription folks, and LDS?

As for me, I wouldn't buy anything for some guy that shows up at my door. Sounds pretty shady to me...

I plan to order my windows from Lowe's or Home Depot.

That's my two-cents.

I had one of their apparently temporary/labor-ready workers come to my door three months ago. The young man who came up to my door used MY CELLPHONE to set up the appointment (should have been a red flag) and said they'd be out the next day to give us an estimate. No one ever showed up. One of their salespeople called us two days ago (three months late!) and set up a time to come over and give us an estimate (we should have said 'no'). They came over, spent over 2 hours here, were completely inappropriate, rude and even yelled at us when we kept telling them we wanted to get different estimates before we decided on a company. We eventually had to basically kick them out because they were so ridiculous and rude. I agree with all these people that you must NOT buy their windows. They are obviously unethical and although the windows themselves may be of high quality, it doesn't matter much if their workers can't install them correctly. And their guarantee means nothing apparently, which is one of their major selling points, as is the 60 day window during which you can get bids from other companies and if they beat WCV prices they'll match it, plus 5%. It sounds like that was probably a lie as well. Please do yourself a favor and pick a different company. Look at their numerous BBB reports and also check out ripoffreport.com for even MORE complaints.
