"Fox Creek Buillders did a great job taking off my old wood siding, replacing multiple rotten window sills outside, wrapping all wood around windows, installing new gutters. Couldn’t be happier with the finished project. Max was great to deal with and helped me so much picking out the siding. Juan and his workers worked so hard and were always there on time. I would definitely recommend them!!!"

"NewBrook Home Improvement did a FABULOUS job! Dermot responded to my initial phone call right away, set up an appointment and came out to meet me within two days. He looked over the project and then took time to sit down and explain exactly what needed to be done to install a new roof. We set up a date for install. The materials and installers arrived on time and they did an awesome job. They cleaned up so well, you wouldn't have even known a roof had been torn off and a new one installed. Dermot came out to oversee the project and make sure everything went well. I recommend NewBrook Home Improvement for anyone looking for an honest, dependable and nice (important to me) company!"
"Absolutely fantastic! Home Matters Remodel is most exceptional. They are a very professional and serious company (most definitely not cowboys! Yay!), caring and interested. The contractor took the time to explain issues that could arise, particularly with respect to replacing aluminum siding over asbestos, and worked out estimates to include worst case scenarios ? both of which none of the other companies that I have used over the past few years even came close to doing. They even very kindly set up my rain barrel for me ? a last minute request; it has already been put to the test and is working very well indeed. IAfter they were gone, I couldn't a single thing left behind, except for the excellent work they did. The labor and time everyone at Home Matters Remodel invested was well worth every penny I spent! Should I need any further work done to the exterior of my home, they will be the first company I contact.
"David was very professional and had great communication throughout the process. He explained what I needed and answered all my questions to my satisfaction. His crew was equally professional and considerate in making sure that they did a good job. They took precautions to make sure that there was no mess or damage done. Even installed an attic tent for us. I highly recommend David."
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.
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?
Yes, egress windows can significantly add value to a home. By making basement and attic areas safer and more livable, they allow you to market these spaces as finished living areas, which increases your property's value. Many homeowners can recover the full installation cost, with some sources citing a return on investment of around 70%. The exact value added depends on your specific home, location, and adherence to local building codes. Beyond financial value, egress windows enhance functionality by adding natural light and comfort. They are also a crucial safety feature, often mandated by building codes to serve as an emergency exit.
Because egress windows are meant for emergency exiting and entering, they need to be an accessible size. The smallest an egress window is allowed to be is 15 inches in width and height, with an opening of around 4 square feet.
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.
