"The best part were the installers. They did a great job installing and cleaning up after the job. The part I had a problem with, was Andrew didn't communicate with me on the order status. When we ordered the windows (during Covid) the first week of June, the sales guys said it would be 5 weeks. After 8 weeks I called Andrew. His voice mail was full, and I couldn't get in contact with him. I went to the office and no one was there that day. The next week I went by the office again. I was able to talk to the office gal and after that Andrew called me and said windows were coming in August. When the windows were finally getting installed they realized two of the windows came in the wrong size! So they reordered them and another 5 weeks of waiting. So finely the last week of October the last two windows were installed. Needless to say it was a very frustrating experience. Just need to communicate better, the product is a good quality product."

Egress Windows questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

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.
