Q: Is an egress window worth it?

• <div><p>Absolutely! Egress windows are a game-changer when it comes to enhancing both the value and functionality of your home. These windows can unlock your basement's untapped potential, transforming it into a sunlit and inviting living space. Not only do they create a bright and comfortable environment, but they also prioritize safety by providing a secure exit in case of emergencies. In fact, the installation of egress windows is mandated by building regulations, highlighting their crucial role in ensuring the well-being and peace of mind of all occupants. </p></div>

Q: What costs are associated with installing new windows?

Windows are scratched from their attempt to remove spots. They must have used a really sharp tool to do so. I have not yet called them but will do so tomorrow. Not at all happy with that part of the service.
