"I had a wonderful experience with Founders Insulation. They were extremely easy to work with. It was easy to schedule an appointment, the gentleman who came out was knowledgeable and polite, and I felt that I received good information and they did not try to sell me something I did not need. Their quote was excellent. The work was scheduled and completed quickly. The installation team was courtesy, thorough, and knew their stuff. They were respectful of my home and went above and beyond. I highly recommend this company."
"The company agreed to postpone install to work around an upcoming vacation we had. Very pleased with the product and price. There was one small miscommunication regarding shutters going back on after install but the company remedied the problem immediately. Overall very pleased with the entire process from start to finish."

"they worked with me to find the size panels I most wanted at reasonable cost and installers were true pros. Price was the best I could find after meeting with several siding companies. Siding looks picture perfect!"
"Jeff Dahlgren did a great job. He was early and got to straight to work. He kept me informed throughout the install. He was diligent when installing the lights and fan. His attention to detail during his install made me feel very confident before it was even done. I am so happy with the light and fan, they make my kitchen and den look so much better. I would highly recommend him and JW to anyone who asks. Great work."
"From beginning to end they were very professional, great customer service. Installers were very hard workers and nice. Cleaned up afterwards even when a storm was coming I told them they could stop to get out of the rain they kept on going, shows their dedication. Would highly recommend."
"Hello. I wanted a roof inspection. I have an older modest home and just wanted to check on my roof (installed in 2016 by a different company) because my attic gets very hot. The person they sent came on time, gave a walk-through, gave me some recommendations and the reasons for them. Very polite and not pushy (which I appreciate). Currently researching into the options he mentioned."
Yes, egress windows must meet local building codes for size and accessibility. Professional installers ensure compliance.
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, 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.
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 average cost to install an egress window is approximately $3,900, with a typical range between $2,500 and $5,300, though costs can be higher. The final price is influenced by several factors, including the window's size, type, material, and glass quality. Other variables include labor costs, location, excavation needs, and whether permits or a structural engineer consultation are required. The price of the window itself often depends on the number of panes:
Single-pane: $100–$400
Double-pane: $200–$500
Triple-pane: $300–$800
Additional features like window wells or covers will also increase the total project cost. It is advisable to obtain multiple quotes from professionals to get a comprehensive understanding of the expenses for your specific project.
