We are so glad we did, they completed our install fast, cleaned up everything like they were never there and the customer service is amazing. It is was a pleasant experience all around! Thanks IHI"
"They were willing to do a small job, which we appreciated. It took a little while to schedule the work, but we didn't mind. They were clean and courteous while inside our home. This experience was terrific. And so far no more leaks!"
"Great experience all around from Wuan and Wesley and the Falcon team. From our first call to the day of install every question I had - the team was there. Would 1000 percent recommend."
"Complete Exteriors installed house wrap, soffits, fascia, gutters and down spouts on my new house construction. Mike was my customer support rep for the project. He was was professional throughout the process. He responded quickly to all of my inquiries by phone and email. Most of the work was completed by Douglas and his assistants Benjamin and Caesar. The installation crews were hardworking and efficient and the quality of their work was great. Overall a very pleasant experience and I'm very satisfied with the end product."
"Daniel and his partner installed new appliances and tile in my kitchen, I had new counter tops installed as well in my kitchen and master bathroom. I also used John Krause for a repair to my shed from water damage again Daniel and his partner did an excellent job for me. Very please with Daniel and his work. I believe Daniel is a sub-contractor for John Krause, but none the less in my opinion he did really good work and communicated with every step of the way."
"Excellent process from Sales to Installation to Cleanup. Very professional. Completed job as quoted and in the time frame specified. Great local company that I would be happy to deal with again."
"I was surprised at how fast they responded to a request for service. I receive a phone call within 10 minutes of a request. This was followed up with a site visit and an estimate of repairs to two vinyl gable end vents. One day later they obtained the replacement parts and installed them. It required removing some of the siding."

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.
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.
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.
Costs depend on window size, type, material, and labor. Custom shapes or sizes typically incur higher expenses; full installation includes removing old windows.
