"I hired this company to install a new roof. The company offered competitive pricing, and its representatives were professional. The roof installation was completed in just one day, and the installation crew cleaned up well afterward. I had a good experience and would recommend this company!"
"Dan was great, he saw the process from the beginning to the end. The window installers were very nice, did a great job, and cleaned up very nicely before they left."
"Owner is very responsive and kept me informed throughout the entire process. Installer was fantastic and did excellent work. I highly recommend this company."
"The project went great. Max and his guys do a great job. I had pretty much lost confidence in home improvement contractors until I met Max and Fox Creek Builders. He does what he says and his installers do what they say and do it with quality. Fox Creek has redone the entire outside of my house.He did windows and the siding last year and then they just did my roof and like before I am extremely satisfied with the quality of work."
"Hired Retro Foam of Philadelphia to install foam insulation on 3 sides of my townhouse on Wildwood Crest. They did a great job, the team of Frank, Mike, Kevin and Keith were very respectful of our property, They were very friendly and mannerly during the process. when they left, you did not even know they were at my home. Great Job Bob/Jackie Marnie"
"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 and his crew were wonderful. Upon meeting David he was very informative and personable. He worked with me on scheduling over the holidays as well as payment options. The work was done quickly and efficiently and I could feel my home was less drafty immediately. Definitely recommend elite thermal!!!"
"Mike provided various siding samples for me to review. I was uncertain with my selection of color. However, Mike left the samples and patiently waited for my decision. The install crew was excellent and I'm absolutely happy with the color and the overall experience. Excellent customer service from beginning to end!!! I will definitely use for future needs."
"The crew showed up on time, worked quietly and efficiently and left the area better than it was. Our new roof is beautiful and expertly installed. Erick is fair and honest . Pricing was competitive. I would trust him with any other work I might need."
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.
There are a range of egress window types available, including:
Single-hung: $100–$400
Double-hung: $250–$500
Horizontal/sliding: $150–$800
Casement: $200–$500
In-swing: $350–$700
When choosing a type of egress window, consider how you’d like to open it. For example, double-hung egress windows open from top to bottom and let plenty of fresh air in, whereas sliding windows slide open for easy access.
A good U-factor for windows is 0.30 or lower, but they can range from 0.20 to 1.20. A general rule of thumb when it comes to the U-factor is that the lower, the better.
The proper way to install a window well is to measure the window, dig a hole deeper and wider than the window, place a drainage tube and cap, anchor the well to the foundation, caulk the seam, and backfill the hole. The job requires tools such as a hammer drill and auger and some heavy digging. Proper placement and window well installation are critical to preventing water from leaking into the window.
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.
