"We got the estimate and a proposed date to start. Due to other jobs they had to delay us a few days but called us often to let us know how it looked for our job. These are a great group of guys, from the estimator to the workers. Polite, on time, hard working, cleaned up after themselves. Why would you go anywhere else. Thanks Guys. Now I can't wait for it to rain."

"Great. Neil's crew did a fantastic job. They worked quickly and you could tell they were confident in their work. We had used DeWit Construction several years ago at another home (this was before the roofing section became it's own entity) to put on a new roof after damaged during high wind/hail storm and also to rebuild the underside of an upper deck which had not been correctly supported. We are already considering them for another project."

"My husband and I had spent 13 years remodeling our 1873 house by ourselves. When it came time to do our dream project of adding a sunroom, finding a contractor to do the work instead of doing it ourselves was a very important decision to us. We met with several contractors and knew instantly that John and his son Nate at Addition Doctors were the people we wanted taking on this project. John and Nate were so great to work with. They were the only company we met with who gave us a computer generated model of what the project would look like so we had a very clear vision of the end product. They were the only company to quote us the project under the budget we told them we had to work with. They kept us up to date at every step of the project and there were never any surprises about cost or timing. They had great ideas for the project when we weren't exactly sure what should or could be done. We love our finished sunroom. The quality of work and service they gave was excellent. We would highly recommend Addition Doctors for anyone who is looking to have quality work done to their home."

"Justin is so easy to work with and instantly makes you feel at ease. I'm a nervous person so having someone like Justin help me was great. The project we wanted to do wasn't able to be completed due to city codes but i will definately keep Goldsmith Industries in mind for any upcoming projects."

Egress Windows questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on window size, type, material, and labor. Custom shapes or sizes typically incur higher expenses; full installation includes removing old 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, you can install a bay window in an existing house. You’ll need to have a structural engineer draw up plans to add the necessary support to your exterior load-bearing walls and a general contractor to make the changes to the framing around the new wall opening. This will cost an average of $3,000. After that work is done, a window installer can set the new bay window in place.

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.

A good U-factor for windows is 0.30 or lower, but they can range from 0.20 to 1.20. A general rule of thumb when it comes to the U-factor is that the lower, the better.
