"Jeremy and his crew were great! Personable yet professional. The job took a little longer due to more subfloor damage than expected. The end result… perfection! I will definitely hire ACQ Home Improvement again, and gladly recommend them to my friends and clients."

"David and his amazing team did a superb job replacing our old siding with new one (polymer vinyl shingles). David was professional, kind, polite and answered all our questions during the process. Him and his team were careful with installing the siding around complex architectural details and cleaned very well during and upon the completion of the project. It was a pleasure to work with David and his team and we highly recommend them to anyone who needs their services. Thank you David and team!"

"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."

"I am very happy with their work. I actually hired Stratum to replace my deck in 2022 and asked them to come back to remodel my bathroom this past summer. Their contractor Lee was professional and helpful. He took time to provide different options with pros and cons to the problem. He made sure everything was done to my satisfaction. I appreciated his sincerity. I highly recommend this company."

Egress Windows questions, answered by experts

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.

You install a window well 8 to 12 inches deeper than the base of the window sill. After filling the well with drainage rock, the well should sit 3 inches below the bottom of the window. The top of the window well should also be at least 3 inches higher than the surface-grade ground. The window well should be about 6 inches wider than the window opening.

Yes, you absolutely need a permit to add a window to your house. Your contractor can likely obtain this permit on your behalf. Ask about this when getting quotes from multiple window contractors.

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.

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.
