"Absolutely love it!!! We replaced tub curtains with sliding glass doors. Work and quality are superb. It looks gorgeous. The price was very reasonable. Jose from Glazier helped us with the customization and design of our doors, explained everything in detail. We are very grateful to him and his crew; they are very professional. I will be remodeling another bathroom, and I am defenetly calling Jose from Glazier for my next project. Thanks Glazier, my bathtub looks amazing!!!"

"Their design service was extremely helpful in allowing us to see detailed drawings of the room and side elevations of our home after the addition.  Everyone who worked on our project were professional and skilled at their trades.  Our project involved just about every aspect of home remodeling - design, framing, roofing, electrical, plumbing, sheetrock, painting, tile and custom woodworking (custom bench/cubbies and wainscoting).
While theirs not the lowest bid we received, I believe the money was well spent.  It's been nearly six months since the work has completed and we've had no problems with the work (in fact, I've had them do additional projects around the house).  In that time, we've experienced several storms and were side-swiped by a hurricane.  The work held up perfectly and we've had no adverse impacts.
I have only two negatives regarding this effort.  First, the project took exactly twice as long as originally estimated (I shouldn't be surprised, but ...).  Finally, the guy who did the tile floor was not as skilled as I would have liked.  The tiles are not precisely aligned and he should have changed blades in his wet saw half way through the work.  We used an intricate pattern so that every tile needed to be cut.  The first tiles are cut cleanly, but the last several rows have jagged cuts.
Regardless, I am extremely pleased with the outcome of this project and would recommend them for any variety of home remodeling work.

Egress Windows questions, answered by experts

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.

To find and hire a reputable contractor for an egress window installation, you should first research local professionals and then vet your top candidates. Start by searching for local contractors who specialize in this type of work, read their customer reviews, and examine their website and portfolio. Once you have a shortlist, contact them to ask key questions: Are you licensed and insured? What is your specific experience installing egress windows? Can you provide references from previous customers? Do you perform the work yourself or use subcontractors? What is the estimated project timeline and your current schedule? How do you handle payment?

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.

Because egress windows are meant for emergency exiting and entering, they need to be an accessible size. The smallest an egress window is allowed to be is 15 inches in width and height, with an opening of around 4 square feet.

Egress windows are typically required for basements with habitable space or living quarters. Not all basements or lower levels require egress windows. However, egress windows are required in homes with living spaces such as bedrooms and living rooms in a basement. The International Residential Code and International Building Code require sleeping rooms to have a specific size egress window. Check your local building codes to confirm the requirements in your area.
