My opinion... It is based on my horrible experience with Serenity Windows over installation of 38 windows in December 2025.
If we had fewer than 20 windows to replace, I would not be aware of these problems. I suspect that this is the case with the customers who left positive reviews for Serenity Windows. We also had Serenity's work inspected by 3 separate companies. All 3 companies came to the same conclusion: the work is done incorrectly and definitely not by manufacturers' specifications. Stay away from Serenity Windows: they will charge you for correct installation but will do a horrible job that will destroy your house, if left uncorrected. There are reputable exterior remodel and window installation companies. Some of them will give you up to 30 year warranty; use these reputable companies.
In my opinion, Serenity is highly unethical, dishonest and incompetent operation. They lied to me about everything. I initially signed a contract with another company. After the windows were ordered, I learned that several windows were incorrectly ordered and that the work would be done by a random subcontractor. We terminated contract on mutually agreed terms with the help of the attorneys before any work was done. I was open with DJ and Hannah why I terminated the contract with the other company. Serenity assured me they have Milgard trained and certified installers and that Milgard asks them to fix problems caused by other installers (this is a lie). They assured me that the work will be done according to manufacturers' specification, as required by our contract.
After 20 windows, I started to suspect that Serenity has no clue what they are doing, but DJ and Hannah told me to trust them. Initially, I trusted them as I did not expect a contractor to be so untrustworthy. Also, I did not think that any REASONABLE contractor would be so unwise as to clearly breach the contract by not installing the windows per manufacturers' specification, as required by our contract.
I finally called Milgard and our building inspector. I found out that Serenity is not Milgard certified. I got installation instructions and forwarded to Serenity, but they chose to ignore the instructions. Only after I forwarded email from the building inspector stating that Serenity is installing windows incorrectly, DJ admitted that they are doing this wrong. DJ also told me that if they fix this step, the installation would be up to manufacturers' specifications. This is another lie. I did not know about multiple additional problems until 3 reputable window replacement companies examined Serenity's work.
DJ also lied about repairing dry rot around the windows and charged me for it. We just removed the trim and dry rot is still there. They damaged window frames by incorrectly placing screws. They lied to me about properly placed "flashing". This tiny piece of metal (1-1.5in when it should be 4-6 in) was sitting behind the siding on all of the windows that we have exposed so far (not behind the house wrap, as it should be). There are multiple other problems, but I have only a limited number of words that I can use in a review.
I almost called the police on DJ on March 16, 2026. I told him that his work needs to be taken apart and redone as they left my house open to water damage and pest intrusion and I would be withholding $400 (I was going to withhold the 2nd half of the payment, $26125, until the work is corrected, but they charged my credit card for $26125 even after I told them in writing to remove my card from their files and never charge it). However, DJ stopped the installation of the last window and started threatening me. At that point I was done trying to work with Serenity and was ready to call 911, but he left.
Check Woods General Contracting, their most recent adventure (before Serenity). Low volume production (2014-2020). Even with that low volume and short time in business, they managed to get 2 CCB complaints and 1 disciplinary action from CCB. In April of 2020, they decided to rebrand themselves as Serenity Windows: no building inspections to deal with; after the trim is on, most homeowners will leave the windows alone until there is a huge problem with dry rot. By the time you discover dry rot, Serenity's 1 or 2-year warranty will expire.
We are in the process of fixing their damage and dealing with unauthorized credit card charges. We will be sending them a bill for repairs. read more
