Northwest Window Company Is a True Hero-West Coast Vinyl

Every now and again you hear a tragic story of someone with a much needed home improvement gone wrong. Well here's one of a local in Renton, WA. A few weeks ago a Renton Washington woman hired a local company to replace eight windows in her home. The contractor quoted her about $5000.00 for the job. She paid upfront and sadly never heard from the contractor again. When she called the numbers he left for contact they all went to local malls food courts. A tragedy indeed she had fallen victim of a home improvement scam. Too often is the home improvement industry given a bad name due to criminals like this contractor taking advantage of this woman's trust. Well, there is a happy ending to this story. West Coast Vinyl a northwest favorite in windows for over 35 years comes to the rescue. Owner Jamie Keirstead saw this story on the local news and just knew something had to be done to rectify this poor woman's situation. He immediatley contacted the newsroom that ran the story and offered his family's company West Coast Vinyl's services offering to replace the widowed woman's eight windows free of charge. Wow! What a great community offering, it surely shows that companies still have heart no matter how large and successful when run by great people great things can happen.
