"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."

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.
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.
Most professionals can install a window well in two to three days, depending on the size of the well and the window you want inside it. If you’re just replacing an existing window well, the work is much less intensive, and most experts can get the job done in just one day. Connecting the window well to a drainage system or installing a custom concrete window well will naturally take longer, but even the most complicated installations shouldn’t take more than three days.
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.
DIY is possible for experienced individuals. Professional installation ensures compliance with building codes and proper sealing.
