We are a proud winner of the Angi List Super Service Award for many years! Please call us at 888-851-1418 or 253-750-0861 to schedule an estimate. Please note: We are a full replacement company - We are not offering any repair or cleaning services at this time. At Northern Pacific Exteriors our goal is to provide homeowners with quality products and master craftsman installation. Our prices are always affordable and customer service is always our top priority. We understand that it can be tough finding a contractor you can trust, and that is why we do things the way we do. When we come out to your home we explain your project to you from start to finish. We will answer all of your questions and give you an estimate down to the penny. No games, no pressure, just good business. With this challenging economy we understand that times can be tough, and people are sometimes sacrificing quality for price. We offer a solution with factory direct pricing on several products and easy, flexible financing options (O.A.C.). Once you make the decision to improve your home with us, we will work diligently to complete your project in the agreed upon time frame. We will treat your home and neighborhood as if they were our own.

"It is hard to believe that it has been almost three years since Northern Pacific Exteriors completed our full house siding project. I’d like to offer a long-term review now that we’ve had a few years to live with the results. It is hard to believe, but I think I’m even happier with the quality of the work now than I was when they wrapped up the job. The house looks as good as it did when they pulled out of the driveway for the last time. I literally have nothing that doesn’t look right about the job after three years of living with it. The work still looks new. Northern Pacific Exteriors is the contractor we all hope we find, especially for big-ticket projects that require highly skilled crews. Superb attention to detail. Every promise was kept. Easy to work with. Fair pricing. Kept to the schedule and showed up with a full crew everyday. Left the job site clean. Honest, fair, and straightforward in every way - no games just superior results. I just cannot recommend them too highly. If you need to have work done, care about quality workmanship and want the peace of mind that comes from dealing with real professionals, these are the folks for your job."

Honesty, real value, no pressure sales. Since 1997 we have been one of the most highly recommended window and door replacement companies for a reason. Super Service award winner every year since 2006, today we are still a small locally owned and operated company with integrity as our number one priority. The best installers, the most attentive and caring operations team combined with lifetime installation warranties are why our customers come back to us time and again.

"We had an amazing experience with Emerald City Energy Windows & Doors! They were very responsive to my calls, emails, and texts leading up to our installation and the installation was a breeze. Benaro and his team were on time, so kind to me and my kids, efficient and left the house looking like they had never been there. I was shocked at how quickly they got everything replaced and cleaned up! We are so pleased with the quality of the window and the service we received from start to finish. Look no further for your window needs, you have found the company you need in Emerald City Energy Windows and Doors!"

Forever Roofing is a fully licensed and insured general contracting company, based in Sea-Tac, Washington. With many years of experience providing residential roofing services to King, Snohomish & Pierce counties, we offer the knowledge and experience to take on any size roofing project. Every project has a Construction Supervisor on-site, making certain that each project is completed as efficiently as possible. Financing is available; 0 down payment, 0 payment and 0% interest for 12 months on approved credit. Other financing options are also available. Additional DBA - Forever Roofing & Home Improvement LLC. Award Winning.

"DO NOT EVER HIRE THIS COMPANY. 7 years ago they installed metal roofing on our new construction made with SIPS. Our contractor provided manufacturer installation instructions. Early work began fine and their process was signed off by our contractor. Then multiple crews came through, who apparently did not get the message. A metal roof on top of SIPS SHOULD HAVE LASTED 50 YEARS. NOW we're having to replace our roof at a greater cost than out-of-state college tuition. The new roofers are having to scrape rotted OSB from the foam insulation, completely negating the SIPS warranty and littering the neighborhood with the rotten debris. The analysis is that Forever Roofing (1) installed the Tiger Paw sheeting incorrectly and (2) did not bend the top of the metal panels up under the roof peak, both of which allowed water to enter. FURTHERMORE, after letting water in, they blocked off any egress at the bottom of the roof with wood blocks between the staves. Eventually water sat in there for years until the soffits started popping off. One of the Forever Roofing managers came by to take a look at the damage and essentially washed his hands of the business - no integrity for workmanship. RUN AWAY - "Forever" is an utter misnomer."

Storm Shelters questions, answered by experts

It’s better to build a garage than buy and install a prefabricated one. You can save money by purchasing a prefabricated metal garage kit for between $4,000 and $11,000. However, this does not include the price of labor and permits, which can account for more than half of the project cost. Building a new garage over buying a prefab garage will add more value to your home and will last longer, so it’s more cost-effective over time to build a new garage.

Hardscaping features are usually a great investment, as they improve the functionality and safety of your property, as well as have a positive impact on the aesthetics of your yard. While most buyers will see immense value in these features, some may shy away from hardscaping because it can bump up property taxes and can be costly to alter or replace. Generally speaking, though, you’ll see a great return on investment on your hardscaping, not to mention that it makes your yard more enjoyable before you sell your home.

Ranch and colonial-style homes are often the most affordable to build. They have a common layout with available designs that are easy to adjust in simple ways without having to spend too much on a structural engineer or architect. Both types of homes' symmetry, simple roofs, and often one or two-story plans mean they often fall in the $150 to $200 square-foot range, putting them right around average.

You can save on costs if you build your gazebo, but it’s a challenging DIY. Gazebos are permanent and structurally sound builds, so if you’re not an experienced engineer, this DIY can be tough and even dangerous. However, DIY-ing a pop-up temporary gazebo or building over an already constructed deck will be easier projects. If you want a long-lasting, high-quality gazebo, the project is best left to the pros.

The average cost of a tornado shelter is $7,520, but there is considerable variation based on the shelter's size, complexity, and type. A shelter big enough to fit 15 people may cost as much as $30,000, for example.

An underground shelter may cost more than an aboveground shelter, particularly if you need to excavate before installing it. If you already have space in a basement for an underground shelter, you'll still need to pay for waterproofing and concrete to construct it.
