"Zack and AJ were excellent and the install crew did a great job installing our new gutters and downspouts. Also very quick work and installed our gutter guards and did a great job cleaning up afterwards."
"The company agreed to postpone install to work around an upcoming vacation we had. Very pleased with the product and price. There was one small miscommunication regarding shutters going back on after install but the company remedied the problem immediately. Overall very pleased with the entire process from start to finish."
"I had a wonderful experience with Founders Insulation. They were extremely easy to work with. It was easy to schedule an appointment, the gentleman who came out was knowledgeable and polite, and I felt that I received good information and they did not try to sell me something I did not need. Their quote was excellent. The work was scheduled and completed quickly. The installation team was courtesy, thorough, and knew their stuff. They were respectful of my home and went above and beyond. I highly recommend this company."

"Jeff Dahlgren did a great job. He was early and got to straight to work. He kept me informed throughout the install. He was diligent when installing the lights and fan. His attention to detail during his install made me feel very confident before it was even done. I am so happy with the light and fan, they make my kitchen and den look so much better. I would highly recommend him and JW to anyone who asks. Great work."

"The workers arrived on time and they explained everything they were going to do. They covered my floors. They took pictures through out doing the work. They put jump suites on and covered their faces and off they went cleaning all the old product out of the attic. They cleaned the attic out completely. They took pictures before and after. Then they took thick padding up to the attic. I also saw them take the baffels in the attic and heard them installing them. Then i saw them bring in the long tube to install the loose cellulose insulation. When they were done more pictures were taken and i peaked in to the attic after they finished. I've never done that before. They took their time to install the insulation and didn't rush. There was one minor issue, but not enough to cause me to say i wouldn't hire them again. The past days have been cold and i can definitely feel the difference now i can't wait until summer to see how cool it stays upstairs. So far for the couple of days of having the insulation it's been good. Oh my reason for getting the insulation was because it would get extremely hot up stairs in the summer and very cold in the winter."
Most professionals can install a window well in two to three days, depending on the size of the well and the window you want inside it. If you’re just replacing an existing window well, the work is much less intensive, and most experts can get the job done in just one day. Connecting the window well to a drainage system or installing a custom concrete window well will naturally take longer, but even the most complicated installations shouldn’t take more than three days.
Most modern egress windows installed in basements open outward into a window well, although some older homes have in-swing windows. Egress windows, like casement windows used in other parts of the home, such as bedrooms and bathrooms, may open inward, and these windows are often larger than outward-opening windows.
Egress windows require regular maintenance to ensure they function correctly. This includes cleaning the glass, inspecting the frame and well for debris, and making sure the cover or well drains properly. It is also important to check that the window sills and wells are watertight and to inspect and repair any damage to the window frame or seals to prevent leaks and maintain functionality.
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 primary benefits of an egress window include providing a safe emergency exit, increasing natural light in a space like a basement, and improving ventilation. Additionally, installing an egress window can often increase your property's value.
