"I have worked with many contractors in the past, but this is the first time I found someone who I can trust about work and proficiency. Bob and his entire crew did an excellent job. I never had to call or text them to check if they are coming in, they showed up on time everyday. Bob and his team are effective communicators, letting me know in advance if they were not able to make it. Bob consistently checked with me about the material, color, etc before buying and installing. Bob and his team deserve nothing less than five stars for their work on our house. Thank you Bob and team."
"They were easy to work with and very knowledgable. We have cats in the house and we were a little worried with them in the house during the spray foam installation, but they handled the situation."
"The installers were very professional. Clean up was great. Quality assurance manager came out can checkout everything and fixed some minor issues. We will be using again. In fact we are having a door installed in August."
"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."
"Rarely do I leave a review but my experience with McLaughlin was 5 Star. I had cellulose insulation blown into my garage ceiling. The installers Dino and his crew member were great. Very friendly, took the time to explain the process and clean up exceptional !!!! Thanks Dino"
"Doug and his crew did a fantastic job. Showed up when he said he would. Had great pricing and was not satisfied with the project until we were. They installed more than 1500 sq ft of floor tile, granite steps and did a bathroom with 5 ft tiled shower. We will have him back to do the next section of our house. Do not hesitate to hire Doug and his crew."
"Excellent company to deal with and quality job (new GAF system shingle garage roof installed). Easy to communicate with from start to finish. Jordan did the initial estimate and was always available by phone; likewise the office staff. The job took a half day. The supervisor and 4 workers worked very efficiently, removing the old roof, patching wood where necessary, putting new roof on, & cleaning up. Looks beautiful. And the garden was not damaged."
"Evolution Siding did a recent replacement siding project for us at our house. Brandon and his crew were excellent. Even though our project was small, Brandon did everything we asked for in a timely manner. His work was very detailed and he did not waste any materials. His pricing was very competitive and they cleaned up at the end of both days. Brandon was great to deal with and communicated well. I would highly recommend Brandon, his crew, and Evolution Siding for your next project."
"I canâ t say enough about the company. From the first consultation throughout the installation we always knew what was going on. I knew this was the company for us right from the start, the owner came to our home armed with many samples that others didnâ t bring with them. The professionalism from the onset is what separated them from the rest. Donâ t look any further this is the company you want. I would highly recommend."
Depending on size, material, and labor, two windows can cost between $600 and $1,600.
Yes, egress windows must meet local building codes for size and accessibility. Professional installers ensure compliance.
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.
The average cost to install an egress window is approximately $3,900, with a typical range between $2,500 and $5,300, though costs can be higher. The final price is influenced by several factors, including the window's size, type, material, and glass quality. Other variables include labor costs, location, excavation needs, and whether permits or a structural engineer consultation are required. The price of the window itself often depends on the number of panes:
Single-pane: $100–$400
Double-pane: $200–$500
Triple-pane: $300–$800
Additional features like window wells or covers will also increase the total project cost. It is advisable to obtain multiple quotes from professionals to get a comprehensive understanding of the expenses for your specific project.
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.
