"From the first meeting. Rob was knowledgeable on the type of doors and windows I needed. And the additional work involved. Thru the process of install they discovered rotted wood which they replaced without hesitation and came in within the budget. Great team of workers."
"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."
"Our central air conditioning system failed during the worst heat and humidity streak in more than a decade. When our AC contractor arrived to look at replacing the system, he pointed out that none of our 3 attics were insulated. We called Coleman Spray Foam. The put a highly knowledgeable rep on-site in less than 24 hours. One day later we received and signed their proposal. Crews arrived 2 days later and worked in unbearable heat and humidity in our attics until we had R50 insulation (needed for AC/Heat Pump). I would have them back in a heartbeat and highly recommend them for anyone in need of spray foam insulation."
"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."
Yes, egress windows are grandfathered. However, this comes with some specifications. If you are remodeling a basement or adding a sleeping area, you’ll need to update the egress windows to be up to proper code. But, if you’re leaving your home as is, you do not have to adhere to these requirements.
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.
Finding a reputable contractor for an egress window installation involves researching and vetting potential candidates. Start by searching for local professionals, reading customer reviews, and checking their websites for a portfolio of their work.
Once you have a shortlist, ask the following questions to ensure they are qualified:
• Are you licensed and insured?
• What experience do you have 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?
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.
Basements are generally required to have windows for your safety. At a minimum, windows should provide an egress in the event of a fire. But basement windows do more than offer a way out; basement windows also offer natural light and ventilation in an area of your home that is otherwise dark and musty.
