"The crew arrived on time, did an excellent job removing the old shingles, installing the new roof and the cleanup was superior. Derick the on site supervisor took pictures before and after and explained everything very well. I have held a CSL for many years and would recommend this company because of the professionalism, quality of work and attention to detail that they exhibit."
"Bill came out and talked to us about different options for our insulation project. He was very knowledgeable and honest with us about the pros and cons of different types of insulation, and was willing to communicate and coordinate with the fellow who'd just installed our roof. He was also one of only a couple of providers that offered rigid board + cellulose, and his bid was wayyyyyyy lower than the other outfit's. We ended up going with a different solution through a company that a friend recommended, but McLaughlin was our runner-up bid. Showed up on time, submitted a bid quickly, and followed up. Very professional, would definitely recommend."

"I recently had a fence installed by Reliable New England Craftsmanship, and I could not be happier with the results! From the initial consultation to the final installation, the entire process was smooth, professional, and efficient.
The team arrived on time, communicated clearly throughout the project, and paid great attention to detail. The quality of the materials and workmanship is excellent ? sturdy, clean, and exactly what I was hoping for. They also made sure everything was cleaned up before leaving, which I really appreciated.
Overall, a top-notch experience. If you're looking for a reliable and skilled construction company, I highly recommend this company. Great service and even better results!"
"I recently had my attic insulated by this company and had a great experience from start to finish. The entire process, from the initial energy audit to customer service and the final installation, was smooth, professional, and well organized. The crew was incredibly kind, hardworking, and patient with all of my questions while they were on site. You can really tell this is a business with a family feel — everyone treated us with care and respect, and it made the whole experience much more comfortable. I would recommend."
"We hired Ronaldo from Serpa Home Improvement to reside our house with James Hardie lap siding and replace a custom French doors to our deck. It was the biggest project we have ever done and we are so glad we went with Ronaldo. His guys came everyday and worked long hours to get my project completed in about 3.5 weeks. My reason to hire Ronaldo is because heâ s listed on the Hardie website as a certified installer. When I observed his guys working, they did everything to James hardieâ s specs such as installing flashing in every butt joint, sealing every cut with paint, leaving proper gap from chimney/roof line, nailing the siding to studs, caulking the right places, etc. My wife is designer and wanted the trim for the windows, doors and dormers to be done a certain way. She showed Ronaldo her mock-ups and his guys were very meticulous and able to build them exactly to her drawings! If you are considering installing hardie or have anything done to your house, I highly recommend Serpa Home Improvement!"
"The installation crew worked tirelessly and professionally to complete our fairly large vinyl siding project. It was expensive, but the transformation of our house was worth it. We are very happy with the results."
"Dave was able to come out and give us an estimate quickly. We made plans to have a fence installed within less than 2 weeks. Everything went smoothly and we appreciate his companyâ s professionalism!"
"Matthew Amaru of R.J. Scalzi & Sons did our recent siding repair. He and his crew were friendly, respectful, and worked quickly. They were not the contractors who initially installed the siding on the building when it was built, but they pointed out errors the original contractors had made as they walked me through their own installation process to replace and repair damage siding. R.J. Scalzi & Sons has absolutely fair prices, and Matthew found siding that matched our building when another contractor had failed to do so. Thus far our replacement siding is holding up, and I have nothing but good things to say about Matthew and R.J. Scalzi and Sons. Definitely hire them for your next siding job. He also replaced a window for us; thus far, I have no complaints on the window either. A+ service."
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 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.
Installing a window well costs anywhere from $500 to $1,500 or more. Adding an egress window and well runs about $3,900 on average. Adding a window well cover to the project can add $200 to $700. A well cover helps protect your egress windows from weather damage and keeps them clear of dirt, debris, and wildlife.
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.
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.
