"Paul was so easy to work with, very responsive, very reasonable. His crew worked efficiently and did an amazing job with installation and cleanup. I couldnâ t recommend Innovative Home Improvements enough!"
"The personnel I interacted with in preparation for the install as well as the install crew have been excellent and made the whole install experience quite pleasant."
"Paul was super speedy and respectful with communication. The process to Get a quote was quick and painless compared to a lot of other companies out there. He scheduled us flexibly to accommodate for us having a newborn. The employees who installed the windows were all super kind and worked fast. There was some damage to our house when the windows were installed, but they returned to patch up those areas after."
"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 Job Bob/Jackie Marnie"
"From my initial contact with Newbrook until the job was complete, everything went extremely smooth. After my initial contact with them, Joe came to the house and provided a written estimate. He also brought window samples. The window model I purchased (Revere Berkshire Elites double pane) are well known for their energy efficiency (better than Energy Star standards) and modern design (very thin frames which equate to a higher visible glass area). Once my wife and I agreed that Newbrook presented the best value after mulling it over several days, we provided a deposit and signed on the dotted line. From that point, about one week later a very professional gentleman (Carlos) from the installation crew came out and measured all of the windows. Subsequently, the window installation happened approximately 5 weeks after this. Carlos, the same individual who measured the windows, showed up to head up the installation. Speaking of the installation, I had done quite a bit of research on the proper way to install vinyl replacement windows. In fact, I obtained the installation instructions directly from Alside (the window manufacturer, parent company of Revere). I was very happy with the installation - the windows were a nice, snug fit in the existing framing. Low expanding foam was inserted around all gaps, the caulking was high quality and aesthetically pleasing, and the aluminum capping was to spec. They also replaced the rotted wood as promised prior to capping. The crew cleaned the inside and outside of every window prior to leaving and left no trash behind. I should also mention that both Joe and his partner, Dermott (the owner of Newbrook) came to my house during the install and inspected the installation as it was unfolding. The windows look fantastic - many times better than the original wood windows. I can already tell that the house is better insulated now - I adjusted the thermostat up 3 degrees and it only took about 20 minutes for the temperature to raise (it was about 40 degrees outside) - previously, it would take about 45 minutes to accomplish this. In summary, Newbrook has been a pleasure to deal with. No sales gimmicks - they gave me a great price right from the start without the hassle of negotiation. The installation is high quality, and the reputation of the window manufacturer (Alside) is something that can depended on (they've been in business since 1947, so if I ever have a warranty issue, chances are they'll still be around to take care of it). I attached four pictures of the front of my house. On one picture, the top windows have been replaced but the bottom windows have not. On the second picture, the bottom windows have been replaced. However, the capping and installation aren't complete. The third and fourth pictures show the windows after everything was completed."
"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!!!"
"Ace, was prompt. Most professional. The crew were in A C E UNIFORMS. and there truck was exceptionally clean and identified with the A C E l logi. The men were well mannered and worked together most professionally. Go A C E ð"
The primary benefits of an egress window include providing a safe emergency exit, increasing natural light in a space like a basement, and improving ventilation. Additionally, installing an egress window can often increase your property's value.
Yes, egress windows must meet local building codes for size and accessibility. Professional installers ensure compliance.
Yes, you can always make an existing window bigger, but the job complexity varies widely depending on the location of the window and the framing around it. Exterior walls are always load-bearing, so making windows wider will require structural changes that make for a more complex but doable project. Making windows taller often won’t require structural changes.
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.
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.
