"Construction employees were very efficient. Reported for work on time.] Cleaned up after their work. They removed the bathtub and installed a walk-in Shower with two shower heads. Nice doors with horizontal handle on both doors. No skimping on the product. First Class. Yes I would have them again. Very comfortable with the crew and Robert Hunter came by to check the work being done in the short time that it took. GREAT !"

"Overall, they did a good job. They are friendly and very helpful. we had a little mess to clean up after, but to be fair, I didn't complain -- if i had they would have come back. Preferably they would have come back to check on their own."

"Mark Sailors and his assistant enlarged an existing rectangular 36" wide hole in a ceramic tile countertop, in order to accept a new 36" gas cooktop. The old opening wasn't deep enough to accept a new 36" cooktop; I guess they make 36" cooktops deeper these days. Anyhow, they performed the work well, and I was satisfied. Both were polite, professional, and considerate. I thought the amount charged was reasonable. Communication via texting was good; he kept me appraised of ETAs and so forth. I plan to use him again."

Egress Windows questions, answered by experts

They meet local code demands for escape routes, lighten basements, and aid in reducing overall humidity.

There are a range of egress window types available, including:

  • Single-hung: $100–$400

  • Double-hung: $250–$500

  • Horizontal/sliding: $150–$800

  • Casement: $200–$500

  • In-swing: $350–$700

When choosing a type of egress window, consider how you’d like to open it. For example, double-hung egress windows open from top to bottom and let plenty of fresh air in, whereas sliding windows slide open for easy access.  

An egress window is similar to a regular window. However, this type of window opens fully to allow people to escape the home or rescue personnel to enter the home if an emergency occurs. Egress windows are required in all finished basements before they can be considered a living space.

Yes, you can always make an existing window bigger, but the job complexity varies widely depending on the location of the window and the framing around it. Exterior walls are always load-bearing, so making windows wider will require structural changes that make for a more complex but doable project. Making windows taller often won’t require structural changes.

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.
