"Bob repaired a broken kitchen drawer, upgraded two others and added much needed hardware to my kitchen cabinets. He responded very timely to my initial email, which I very much appreciated.

Their contractor Lee was professional and helpful. He took time to provide different options with pros and cons to the problem. He made sure everything was done to my satisfaction. I appreciated his sincerity. I highly recommend this company."
"I cannot express the gratitude from Hannah before and after. L Tim was unbelievable. He spent just about an hour on the doors and we got the talking personally and found out I lost my job due to the virus and was recently ex-military and he did to work for free. I insisted on paying him but he refused. Brought me until tears for about a half hour and know that someone could be so kind. I called Hannah and express my gratitude personally. They both know who I am and who they served and I am so grateful. There are still great people in this world. This is a great company in these harsh times."
"We needed a new roof on our home due it being extremely old. G&O did an amazing job with doing this project for us. Every day they were there early am until late at night working to make sure the roof was completely in a timely manner. All of the workers were nice, polite and extremely informative with any questions we had. By the time they were done, you couldn't even tell they were there with how well they cleaned up all around our house. Nick (owner) came to check in everyday to make sure everything was going the way it was supposed to and maintained constant communication with us the entire job. Compared to other companies we checked with, G&O was definitely the best priced. We will definitely be using them in the future for additional home construction projects!"
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.
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.
There are a range of egress window types available, including:
Single-hung: $100–$400
Double-hung: $250–$500
Horizontal/sliding: $150–$800
Casement: $200–$500
In-swing: $350–$700
When choosing a type of egress window, consider how you’d like to open it. For example, double-hung egress windows open from top to bottom and let plenty of fresh air in, whereas sliding windows slide open for easy access.
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.
DIY is possible for experienced individuals. Professional installation ensures compliance with building codes and proper sealing.
