"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."
"Nick and Pete (owners) with G & O Const. are nothing less than professional. I hired G&O for a new roof and to side the home as well. Working with Nick from start to finish really made my life that much easier. Nick was on site multiple times a day to make sure everything was going smooth. The workers did an outstanding job with the roof. In and out within 2 days. I was nervous about the loose scraps and nails being around the yard (dog) and driveway (car tires). The clean up job after every work day was SPOT LESS. Picking out the siding was also easy with Nick and Pete being just a phone call away for ANY question I may have had. G&0 Const. is as skillful and efficient as one would want working on their home!! Call them today and you won’t be disappointed!"

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. "
Yes, you can always make an existing window bigger, but the job complexity varies widely depending on the location of the window and the framing around it. Exterior walls are always load-bearing, so making windows wider will require structural changes that make for a more complex but doable project. Making windows taller often won’t require structural changes.
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.
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.
Costs depend on window size, type, material, and labor. Custom shapes or sizes typically incur higher expenses; full installation includes removing old windows.
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.
