"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

"Sam and Miguel did a beautiful job retiling my bathroom floor with marble stones. Sam and Miguel were always punctual, and I was amazed by the output that was produced within just 1.5 days. I would definitely recommend Sam's Masonry to all my friends."

"Green Valley was great to work with! They remodeled our basement into a playroom for our kids, as well as added a half bath and laundry area. The existing space was falling apart, dark, and depressing. Matt and his team completely transformed the space into a bright, modern, and cheerful place to spend time. Matt was very easy going, respectful, and easy to work with. We are in love with the custom rustic doors he made for two spaces that would not fit a typical door size. He was very responsive to any questions or concerns we had during the remodel. We would absolutely work with Green Valley construction again and highly recommend them."

Egress Windows questions, answered by experts

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?

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.

Most professionals can enlarge a window in five to 10 hours, depending on the window location, the exterior wall material, how easy it is to cut through it, and how much buildback you’ll need after the installation is complete. However, more complex projects can take two to three days from start to finish.

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?

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.
