"The personnel I interacted with in preparation for the install as well as the install crew have been excellent and made the whole install experience quite pleasant."
"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."
Yes, egress windows must meet local building codes for size and accessibility. Professional installers ensure compliance.
Costs depend on window size, type, material, and labor. Custom shapes or sizes typically incur higher expenses; full installation includes removing old windows.
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.
When you need new windows depends on a variety of factors, including the age of your windows, the age of your home, and the climate you live in. If you’re dealing with budget constraints, you don’t need to replace all your windows simultaneously.
When buying new windows, you should consider energy efficiency, safety, and aesthetics to choose the right window for you.
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.
