"Pivotal installed a french drain system in my beasement Fall 2023. Jeff and his team were very easy to work with and did an ecellent job including cleanup, Pricing was very reasonable. This is a second home for me and flooding in the basement was a constant souce of stress when heavy rains forecast. After 2 years the system has performed exceptionally well. Can't say enough about how pleased I am with the results!!!!"

"Very happy with the patio addition, and walkway they did for me. They also adjusted my fence for the concrete so it would still open. I would highly recommend them and would be more than willing to show before and after photos."

"We met SAL through a friend that he did some insurance work for.  We have a large kitchen with a huge island and always wanted to redo the floors.  As I was looking for tile for the floor I found glass accent tiles that I wanted to use on the back splash to tie everything together.  Needless to say our project just got larger. We struggled to find qualified contractors to do this work and because we spend so much time in our kitchen we wanted everything to be perfect.  From the first second we met with SAL we were totally comfortable and confident they could do the work to our expectations.  Sure enough the job was completed 4 days ahead of schedule and turned out PERFECT!!! I catch myself sometimes just staring at my new tile. I absolutely love it. I would recommend SAL to everyone. We also had them replace some windows & put up siding on the back of our house (cement siding).  SAL is honest & does everything he says he will do. Great job guys and thanks so much!!!

"I went with a laminated shingle instead of the metal roof on this job just because of the difference in cost. The 2 guys that did my roof were on time and got the job done in a timely manor. They did me a very good job on my roof and I was and still am very happy with the roofing job. That said, I hired Better Way at a later date to finish up a siding job that I started and didn't have help to complete. The First crew that came out the helper was more interested in working than the so called lead man. Lead man was on the phone conducting personal business and leaving the job after only a couple hours of being here. He did this on numerous occasions. He failed to put the house wrap on the house. He also failed to anchor large peices of soffit on a 14' X 25' overhang properly. 2 weeks after the job was done large pieces of the soffit started coming loose and falling off the overhang of the house. I called Better Way and they came out with a new crew and fixed the problems that the first crew was not able to get done. The second crew of guys did a good job fixing the problems that the first crew left me. I am not sure the first crew that came out to do my siding is still employed with Better Way. I was told they were not."

Egress Windows questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

DIY is possible for experienced individuals. Professional installation ensures compliance with building codes and proper sealing.

Adding windows to a house is expensive. Budget roughly $5,800 to add a single window, and double or triple that to add two or three. In some cases, adding a single window can exceed $20,000, depending on the type of exterior wall, the size of the window, the type of window, local permit costs, and other factors.

Yes, egress windows must meet local building codes for size and accessibility. Professional installers ensure compliance.
