"I hired Golden Group to install a ridge vent and soffit vent system for my attic and they were very reasonably priced. Xavier was a pleasure to work with and so were the guys that did the install. I highly recommend."
"RORHI overall did a great job tearing down my old deck and installing a new Trex deck. The guys took two days for the job - efficient and quality work. I can recommend them without exception."
"Leonardo was a pleasure to work with: I found him through reviews on yelp and angieslist, and was cautious at first, but very pleased. He was increbilty responsive, and his team did a great job for my highrise Boston condominium. His prices was fair, and he stuck to his quote. He showed up on time, his team was nice and considerate, and the work was well done. We had a problem with a wall of wallpaper installation, and Leonardo was on top of it everyday. Problems will and do arise; thats the nature of building, but the fact that Leonardo stepped up and took ownership and responsbility for the problems (and solutions) went a long way in my opinion. I would use him and his team again."
"The team at Ideal Siding was very responsive. They addressed all my questions and worries about the siding installation. I was initially hesitant to hire them as they are a relatively new company in Boston. But our project manager Elric was extremely helpful and professional. They demonstrated deep knowledge of their work and offered competitive prices. Elric ensured that I was kept informed about the installation plan throughout. I'm delighted with the end result of our new siding!"
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 cost to install a bow window can range from $1,500 to $15,000, with a national average of $3,900. The total price includes materials, which can cost between $1,200 and over $14,000, and labor, which typically adds $300 to $1,900. Several factors influence the final cost, including the window's size and frame material. For example, vinyl frames are the most budget-friendly option, while wood frames are more expensive. Custom features or energy-efficient upgrades will also increase the price. For comparison, a bay window installation typically costs between $1,000 and $7,000.
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.
Expect excavation below grade, creating a well for access, weatherproofing, and thorough inspections during setup.
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.
