"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. Bob contacted me when he was able to come out and arrived when expected. His work and attention to detail is excellent! We will call him again for other repairs and improvements and refer him to family and friends."
I have been in the construction trade for 30+ years, I specialize on interior work - flooring, windows, doors, stairs, custom cabinetmaking, etc. but I also have experience building decks, porches, sheds, etc. I am currently in the final stages of a full remodel of my personal kitchen. I love what I do and for the past 15 years, I have been sharing my knowledge and experience with high school students working as a carpentry instructor.\nI am listed as working in NH but I am willing to work in MA, I do have my MA contractors license, so that will not be an issue if the job requires it. I'd prefer to work within a 20 mile radius of home but for the right job, I will travel. \nI have skills in all aspects of construction and prefer smaller jobs that don't require more than 2 people. \nYou should hire me because I have a strong passion for what I do, I am a perfectionist, I have many years of experience (there is nothing I haven't seen), I am professional, punctual and responsible. \n
"Very happy with the services from US Home Improvement . John arrived at my home on time work was completed when expected .John and his team were efficient in their work . When the job was finished all areas were cleaned ! I will welcome them back in my home again !"
"Sam was a pleasure to work with. He was friendly, prompt, and courteous. He even remembered that, if at all possible, to squeeze me in so that I would be able to complete a new garage door installation. Very much appreciated!!!"
"I am so happy with AJF. Tony is a perfectionist and takes his time to do a perfect job. He has treated my house as his own and is not satisfied until the work is done right. He is also very responsive to calls/texts which is very refreshing and unusual these days. As well, he always follows through on what he has promised. His pricing is very reasonable and well worth the work that he has provided us. Tony and his crew remind me of how work used to be done - with consideration, quality and a good work ethic. I highly recommend AJF."
"We hired Windows Source to replace all our doors (4) and windows (20) including 1 large bay window. They also did our entire house in vinyl cedar siding. Our entire home was upgraded by WS. Service was incredible and install was perfect. We highly recommend Window Source."
"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!"

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. "
Because egress windows are meant for emergency exiting and entering, they need to be an accessible size. The smallest an egress window is allowed to be is 15 inches in width and height, with an opening of around 4 square feet.
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.
Yes, you absolutely need a permit to add a window to your house. Your contractor can likely obtain this permit on your behalf. Ask about this when getting quotes from multiple window contractors.
To find and hire a reputable contractor for an egress window installation, you should first research local professionals and then vet your top candidates. Start by searching for local contractors who specialize in this type of work, read their customer reviews, and examine their website and portfolio. Once you have a shortlist, contact them to ask key questions: Are you licensed and insured? What is your specific experience installing egress windows? Can you provide references from previous customers? Do you perform the work yourself or use subcontractors? What is the estimated project timeline and your current schedule? How do you handle payment?
Yes, egress windows can significantly add value to a home. By making basement and attic areas safer and more livable, they allow you to market these spaces as finished living areas, which increases your property's value. Many homeowners can recover the full installation cost, with some sources citing a return on investment of around 70%. The exact value added depends on your specific home, location, and adherence to local building codes. Beyond financial value, egress windows enhance functionality by adding natural light and comfort. They are also a crucial safety feature, often mandated by building codes to serve as an emergency exit.
