"I?ve worked with James on several projects and have always had a great experience. He is professional, organized, reliable, and easy to work with. Communication is great, and he takes care of his projects and the people he works with. I really enjoy working with James and his team and would highly recommend his company."
"We are very pleased with the work that was done. Hats off to Janilo Ugalde, a one man crew. Not only did he do the job himself, but even took time showing us and explaining what he did as he went along and cleaning up after the job . We hope he is commended and rewarded for a job well done. We also want to thank Lon Brankovich, Foundation Specialist for all his help in explaining everything that would be done. Really a great help."
"The installation of the egress window and sump pump was performed in a skilled and professional manner. It's a complex and dirty job that really needs to be done right the first time. While Jordan is not the cheapest, the work done was of the highest quality. After the project was completed, the walls were repaired and everything was meticulously cleaned. Jordan went the extra mile. I would definitely recommend JDS Home Improvement."
"I ended up not using their services, but in my short interaction with them they were very courteous, responsive, and professional. I was drawn to their earth friendly focus and would call them again in the future for a future project. "
"Rosaly and Arquimedes are doing a fantastic job installing a basement kitchen, bath, and rec room. He's an incredibly hard working and honest man who cares about the quality of his work and his attention to detail. He's on time and is always open and flexible to any changes. His prices can't be beat even after I vetted several other contractors. He's very easy to work with and has great ideas. His finishing work is beautiful and clean!! You won't go wrong with Rosaly! "
"EJALE did a complete roof and gutter installation. The crew was professional. The job was done in a timely manner and all debris were cleaned up and discarded appropriately. They communicated with me throughout the process of repairs. I am so very please with their work. The price was a very good price. I would definitely recommend this company to my friends."
"Everything went very well. Had to take Miguel to home depot to get a few extra supplies. I had almost everything on hand for the work to be done but some simple extras were needed. Work proceeded on return and was completed without issue. Work took place in a friendly and cooperative manner."
"They don’t use their own people, they subcontract out their projects. My experience was you could hardly speak to the contractors with your views/wishes because they didn't speak English well. The work was okay, I just had to call back a few times to unclog my gutters and they weren't as quick to respond as I'd like, but they were okay."

If improperly installed, an egress window can compromise your foundation’s structural integrity, so it’s important to work with a pro to ensure your foundation remains in good shape. Any money you may save on a DIY egress window installation may cost you in the long run if your foundation is damaged in the process.
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.
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 are typically required for basements with habitable space or living quarters. Not all basements or lower levels require egress windows. However, egress windows are required in homes with living spaces such as bedrooms and living rooms in a basement. The International Residential Code and International Building Code require sleeping rooms to have a specific size egress window. Check your local building codes to confirm the requirements in your area.
Yes, you can install a bay window in an existing house. You’ll need to have a structural engineer draw up plans to add the necessary support to your exterior load-bearing walls and a general contractor to make the changes to the framing around the new wall opening. This will cost an average of $3,000. After that work is done, a window installer can set the new bay window in place.
