"ACQ was very professional and reliable. I hired them to install a sliding door at my house. They showed up on time and didn't try to nickel and dime me with additional costs like many other companies have in the past. I would recommend them to my friends and I plan on calling again next time I have work that needs to be done. It seems hard to find reliable businesses these days."
"I had a great experience with Freedom Framing! Matthew was very easy to work with and did a great job for a great price! Matthew is not only a great carpenter he is a very good project manager, ensuring the supporting contractors needed to complete the work arrived on time and performed top quality work. I would strongly recommend him for any construction work needed. I will be calling Matthew for the next project on my list! Excellent job Matthew! Thank you very much!"
"DBF Construction were Consummate professionals. From beginning to the end of the project (enclosure under deck and new stairs). Communicated consistently with questions or concerns and the job was completed within the timeframe quoted. 100% satisfied. Highly recommended."
"Tony did a fantastic job. He arrived when he said he would. He knew just what to do to support the front entrance roof while replacing each column. He completed the installation and clean-up in about 3 hours. I definitely would hire AJF Construction for my next project."
"Craig the installer did a great job. I was pleasantly surprised by how sturdy the windows were - i picked window source's mid-tier level window. The day after my windows were installed the first storm of the season (snow, rain & ice) arrived and the windows completely performed as they should. I never realized what in eyesore my old windows were until i had these installed. i cant even tell how the wrapping on the windows improved the look of my house! I would definitely recommend window source & i did to a family member. Also, their quote process was quick, 1/2 hour to get a price. Window Source wasn't on my radar while i was requesting quotes on angie's list but they came up as a recommendation & i can't tell you how glad i am I hired Window Source to install all my new windows. A friend had windows installed by a popular chain & Window Source beat the quality and look hands down! If you are like me nervous about hiring a contractor you really know nothing about - i am here to tell you will be happy you hired Window Source. Thank you window source for making my 55 year old house look new!!!"
Everything went well. I never put boundaries on him as far as time limits and getting the job done. I felt in part my own philosophy that this job was complicated and had a need for great detail. Thus without being constrained he got the job done in a estimated days and he got the job done thoroughly, no detail missed, which is extremely important to me. I like to believe in doing things right the first time without having to go back over it again .
He was conscientious kind caring, never swore. He was punctual and if he had to miss a day he would call in advance. Not at all argumentative. Honest. "

"Daragh and his team were absolutely wonderful to work with for my painting projects. I had a huge delay with my contractor which minimized the painting window to about 10 days. Naturally Daragh was booked, but he understood I had an emergency in that I had to move in in less than 2 weeks so he worked long days squeezing me in mornings and on weekends. The job required moving of curtain rods and blind hardware which Daragh handled in the most logical manner depending on the situation - rehanging, setting the holes for the hardware, repairing damage from the prior install, etc. He repaired ice dam damage and was very patient while I took excessive time to try a million colors. He is simply an extremely kind and highly skilled person. Also, I'm writing the review 3-4 months after the work was done as I like to see how completed work holds up and sometimes it takes a while to catch issues - in this case, all is still just perfect! I have two more large projects to do and will definitely call him again, Oh, his pricing was very fair - out of four quotes he was second lowest. You should call him too but not until he's done at my house :)!"
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.
Yes, egress windows must meet local building codes for size and accessibility. Professional installers ensure compliance.
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.
If improperly installed, an egress window can compromise your foundation’s structural integrity, so it’s important to work with a pro to ensure your foundation remains in good shape. Any money you may save on a DIY egress window installation may cost you in the long run if your foundation is damaged in the process.
