"Had two exterior doors installed by Beantown Home Improvements. They showed up on the day promised but it was too cold to install the doors so they double checked measurements, stored the new doors under my deck and wrapped them in plastic. Returned a few days later and were able to install the new doors. Installation went flawlessly and they did a good job cleaning up. Jarred suggested using pvc trim, glad he recommended it. Doors look great and seal quite well just in time for winter. I will certainly use them again on my next home improvement project and would without hesitation recommend their services."
"I had an energy audit and was given a list of contractors to choose from in order to comply with their savings plan. I called 4 places, and Mclaughlin was the only one that would answer their phones or promptly call me back. Of the other 3, 1 never returned my call and 2 were too difficult to talk to. I seriously could not talk to people there. Anyways, McLaughlin immediately and willingly scheduled a simple walk through of my house for free and said they could do everything the audit contract said and even told me that the contract was lacking vents needed for my attic (which was agreed upon by the state system and my contract was upgraded). After the walk through and paperwork was complete I was able to easily schedule the insulation job within a couple weeks. The day of, they arrived 10 minutes early (excellent) and were finished at 3pm (they gave an estimate of being complete around 3pm to 5pm). Everyone was nice and they did a thorough job and answered a few questions I had with ease and understanding to full explain everything. High rating on my end - my only comment is while they did a great job closing shop, they could have gottena couple brooms and swept as a final step. This only made me sweep parts of the house for 15 minutes but still sometihng that could have been done. I would highly recommend these guys - excellent communication, great workers who showed up on time. They also avoided sawing a hole in the ceiling of a bedroom (temporary access as described by the audit contract) to access a "blind attic" by accessing it through the roof and installing a vent where they cut a hole to enter, which was a sigh of relief.

"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."
"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."
"We hired Matt and his team to install vinyl siding over our existing shake shingles, along with replacing all the trim and gutters. Matt was very responsive. After our initial appointment, he was able to schedule the work shortly after. He quoted 3-4 weeks from start to finish, which was accurate, despite the weather not always cooperating. They were very professional, efficient and detail oriented (to the point that they re-did an area that they didn’t like the way the finished product came out). We are incredibly happy with the final product - it looks like a brand new house. We would definitely hire them again. Highly recommended."
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.
Most modern egress windows installed in basements open outward into a window well, although some older homes have in-swing windows. Egress windows, like casement windows used in other parts of the home, such as bedrooms and bathrooms, may open inward, and these windows are often larger than outward-opening windows.
The entire window replacement process, from the initial consultation to the final installation, typically takes between four and 15 weeks. This timeline accounts for measuring appointments, ordering, and manufacturing. On the day of the job, the physical installation takes about 30 minutes to two hours per window. A full-house replacement can take one to three days to complete. Factors that can extend this timeline include the total number of windows, custom sizes, complex window types, second-story installations, and any necessary repairs to existing window frames or openings.
Expect excavation below grade, creating a well for access, weatherproofing, and thorough inspections during setup.
The primary benefits of an egress window include providing a safe emergency exit, increasing natural light in a space like a basement, and improving ventilation. Additionally, installing an egress window can often increase your property's value.
