"I had a crawl space encapsulation done three years ago. The work was professionally done by competent friendly patient professionals willing to answer any and all questions about their work. Most recently I had tech Bradley Innocent conduct the annual inspection of the work, replace the filter in the dehumidifier and survey the property for any potential problems. This young man was professional, efficient, and explained what he was there to do and why. Companies need more competent professionals like him."

"It went great. Other merchants couldn't locate the wheels to replace the broken ones on our shutters. But Chad Goldstein did so. His service was great. He arrived on time, finished all work diligently and efficiently, and the final bill was lower than any of the other vendors I contacted for estimates. All shutters now work perfectly! Chad worked to complete our job, even though it was raining. Very polite, friendly. I will use him for all my future shutter repair and cleaning. He really stands out!!"

"I needed to get my ceiling repaired in the kitchen and Dining room area due to water damage. They came out and gave me a fair price for what I was looking for. The came out on the day they said they would and were on time. They made every effort to make sure I was happy with the work. I compared their prices with others and found them to be extremely fair and honest. I've done this type of work before so I knew what I was asking and immediately knew who was giving me the run arounds. I am very satisfied with the work and highly recommend them."

Egress Windows questions, answered by experts

You install a window well 8 to 12 inches deeper than the base of the window sill. After filling the well with drainage rock, the well should sit 3 inches below the bottom of the window. The top of the window well should also be at least 3 inches higher than the surface-grade ground. The window well should be about 6 inches wider than the window opening.

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.

The proper way to install a window well is to measure the window, dig a hole deeper and wider than the window, place a drainage tube and cap, anchor the well to the foundation, caulk the seam, and backfill the hole. The job requires tools such as a hammer drill and auger and some heavy digging. Proper placement and window well installation are critical to preventing water from leaking into the window.

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.

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.
