"Could not be happier. Chris was a pleasure to work with, and he has a great attitude and demeanor that makes discussing the work with him very easy. We had standard square windows, small corner windows, large picture windows, and a couple of oddly shaped semi-circle windows above the picture windows and doorway, and he even installed a new door and frame leading out of the garage. Chris always answered my many annoying questions, and he did not mind explained everything he did in good detail. I would definitely recommend Chris and Alta Sierra for great work, very competitive and fair pricing, thorough explanation of the work and warranty, and an overall great attitude. Chris is just a genuinely nice person who is not out to scam or take advantage of anyone."

"BEWARE - or at least think twice - before going with United Builders of LA.  I will start with the good things, because I truly believe in giving credit where credit is due...however, from our experience, I think the bad outweighs the good. It has taken me a year to write this review due to procrastination, but this is the one instance where procrastination was in my favor because one year later, I am not nearly as happy with the outcome as I was a year ago. 
Nir definitely is a good sales man, I will give him that. We interviewed a number of contractors, and Nir knows how to talk the talk. His confidence alone was a big selling point for my husband and I. 
We were off to a good start with a very reasonable quote, and he even opened our eyes to some great ideas that we had not even considered. He has an eye for design, he had some great suggestions, and he was quick to point out what a shabby job some the prior contractors had done. He had even offered to redo our horrible crown molding or free. He said it was so bad he couldn?t take it, and begged us to let him to us a favor by redoing it. 
But don?t let the arrogance fool you. Nir was full of many promises, but unfortunately there were more promises made than kept. 
First things first, we were told this job would be ?super easy? and could ?easily? be completed in 2 weeks. I was pregnant at the time, so we figured the quicker the better. I?ve heard horror stories of remodeling timelines, and thought to myself that 2 weeks sounded a little low for the amount of work we were having done, but I was naïve and took his word for it. Needless to say, 2 months later, I was even more pregnant, and the renovation was still not complete. 
My husband had a flexible work schedule, so he decided to work from home during the renovation, so he could let the guys in each day and keep an eye on things. Many days they would show up over 2 hours late?and some days they wouldn?t show up at all without any warning?often we were told it was in order to observe spiritual holidays?but it was odd to us that the observance of those holidays were not communicated to us from the beginning. This was just one of many communication problems.
Once the work was finally complete, we were fairly satisfied with the outcome. Our kitchen looked brand new and we paid the final payment without much thought to anything else. However, it has been a full year since the work has been done, and to our dismay, our kitchen is already falling apart. 
Our sink faucet is loose, there are loose wires in the cabinet lighting, the cabinets are slightly discolored, some of our kitchen drawers no longer close flush, and the backsplash grout molding is peeling off?.to name a few. 
In the past 3 months, we?ve tried to contact the company at least 5 times, so they could come fix these problems. We?ve called and texted Nir directly, and have also contacted the receptionist, who promised to relay the message and have him return our call, but still never heard back. 
Needless to say, we are very unhappy with this service, and the turn out, and are now left searching for a new contractor, just to fix what United Builders left unfinished. I am not typically one to leave reviews, but I strongly felt that this was worth noting, especially for other naïve first timers like we were. If you do decide to go with this company, then best of luck to you. But proceed with caution.

"We initially interviewed 7 prospective contractors and obtained 4 bids before deciding on Nexxus. The owner's (Tony Panterra) pitch was that although his bid would probably be higher than the other contractor's, his work was of a higher quality and that he used only the best products. Nexxus, however, did not provide a written estimate, which raised a red flag. However, we ultimately decided to go with Nexxus because it had numerous and uniformly excellent reviews on Angies List from consumers who actually used Nexxus' services (Nexxus did receive negative reviews from persons who thought its bids were too high). The other contractors we considered had a few positive reviews, but nothing close to the long history of strong reviews that Nexxus had. Moreover, although Nexxus' bid was higher than the other contractors, it was not excessively so. More importantly the work was, for the most part, excellent. In particular, the installation of the wood siding was impeccable. Ipe is a notoriously hard wood and difficult to work with. But the corners were sharp and straight with little or no gaps. The iron gates also turned out well although some of the solder joints could have been a little cleaner. Tony, the owner, was very responsive to any changes or requests we made during the course of the project and was on-site at least 1-2 per week to check on the progress of the job. Francisco, the project manager, was present almost every day and made sure we were aware of how the job was proceeding and sought our input on various aspects of the job and made sure we were satisfied before he proceeded with the work. Tony estimated the job would take approximately 4 weeks and he would have been right on target but for several days of rain that halted work. All in all, we were very satisfied with Nexxus' work, would use them again, and would highly recommend them to anyone interested in remodeling their house."

Egress Windows questions, answered by experts

DIY is possible for experienced individuals. Professional installation ensures compliance with building codes and proper sealing.

Yes, egress windows can significantly add value to a home. By making basement and attic areas safer and more livable, they allow you to market these spaces as finished living areas, which increases your property's value. Many homeowners can recover the full installation cost, with some sources citing a return on investment of around 70%. The exact value added depends on your specific home, location, and adherence to local building codes. Beyond financial value, egress windows enhance functionality by adding natural light and comfort. They are also a crucial safety feature, often mandated by building codes to serve as an emergency exit.

The entire window replacement process, from the initial consultation to the final installation, typically takes between four and 15 weeks. This timeline accounts for measuring appointments, ordering, and manufacturing. On the day of the job, the physical installation takes about 30 minutes to two hours per window. A full-house replacement can take one to three days to complete. Factors that can extend this timeline include the total number of windows, custom sizes, complex window types, second-story installations, and any necessary repairs to existing window frames or openings.

The cost to install a bow window can range from $1,500 to $15,000, with a national average of $3,900. The total price includes materials, which can cost between $1,200 and over $14,000, and labor, which typically adds $300 to $1,900. Several factors influence the final cost, including the window's size and frame material. For example, vinyl frames are the most budget-friendly option, while wood frames are more expensive. Custom features or energy-efficient upgrades will also increase the price. For comparison, a bay window installation typically costs between $1,000 and $7,000.

Yes, you absolutely need a permit to add a window to your house. Your contractor can likely obtain this permit on your behalf. Ask about this when getting quotes from multiple window contractors.
