"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."

"JDS is a fantastic company and a pleasure to work with. Jordan, the owner, came to my house to evaluate the job and provide an estimate. He was very detailed and honest in his assessment. He made various recommendations that substantially improved the setup of the systems, including some that helped reduce costs. A few days before the job was to start, I had to re-schedule due to unrelated reasons. Jordan was able to reshuffle his schedule to be able to accommodate my new timeframe. His crew was always punctual, clean, and respectful of my house. They worked very efficiently and were able to complete the job in under a week. The two windows look great and have substantially improved the feeling of the basement, I would highly recommend JDS to anyone looking into egress windows. Outstanding experience!"

"Very nice and honest people in the office and at the site. Hard workers. They have a lot of trouble accurately estimating the time it will take to do things and when they will arrive, though. It is clearly unintentional. But play it safe and expect it to take longer than they say."

"My experience with Earth Friendly Service was a positive one. My husband and I recently purchased a house that needed some TLC. I reached out to EFS and then responded immediately. Within a few days Steve and Phil were out at my house to see what repairs were needed and to give an estimate. They were pleasant and knowledgeable. I received a couple other quotes but EFS was most reasonable as far as a balance of price and timeline for completion. We set a date to start and when they began the work, it was completed within a week. Steph was great. Detail oriented. Asked questions of my desires when there was uncertainty. Wayne, let his work speak for itself. Phil went above and beyond doing other minor repairs that he noticed as he went along and giving tips to us as new home owners. Steve dropped by to make sure things were running smoothly and on schedule. Overall, we are extremely satisfied with the work that was performed by EFS and plan to have them back soon for some more projects."

JLI Services, Inc took on our project not knowing what was under the overgrown ivy. Once all the ivy was removed, they built the 100 ft long staggered retaining wall, used the proper drainage for the height of the wall, back filled, and then added top soil with grading to connect to our existing yard. As a bonus, they laid grass seed and covered with hay. Through this process, we gained an additional 3 1/2 feet of yard that we never knew we had because of the ivy overgrowth. We added to their scope of work, and they were able to meet our needs each time. The job was completed on schedule and done on budget. The workers were friendly and answered any questions we had. They cleaned up everyday, which was important since we have dogs. Several neighbors and even the inspector commented on the quality of the work.

"I had an egress window installed. Evail and his team did a great job getting this project done in a timely manner despite many obstacles which were not in their control (weather, permit application review, etc). Evail worked around my schedule even if that meant he had to work over the weekend. Throughout the process Evail made many suggestions which resulted in a much better finished product at no additional cost. I spoke with multiple bidders before ultimately choosing EAD. Evail's prices were competitive and I truly believe I got a lot more by using him over his competitors. One of the main reasons I chose Evail over the other bidders is that he suggested using a wider sliding window instead of a swing window which resulted in more work for his team but was ultimately a much better finished product for our needs. Evail managed his team well and used quality material. I was very impressed throughout the entire process and would use Evail again for any type of home improvement work. The window and waterproofing turned out much better than I had originally anticipated."

Egress Windows questions, answered by experts

Yes, with modifications or the use of adapter kits for tricky placements.

To find and hire a reputable contractor for an egress window installation, you should first research local professionals and then vet your top candidates. Start by searching for local contractors who specialize in this type of work, read their customer reviews, and examine their website and portfolio. Once you have a shortlist, contact them to ask key questions: Are you licensed and insured? What is your specific experience installing egress windows? Can you provide references from previous customers? Do you perform the work yourself or use subcontractors? What is the estimated project timeline and your current schedule? How do you handle payment?

Because egress windows are meant for emergency exiting and entering, they need to be an accessible size. The smallest an egress window is allowed to be is 15 inches in width and height, with an opening of around 4 square feet.

An egress window is similar to a regular window. However, this type of window opens fully to allow people to escape the home or rescue personnel to enter the home if an emergency occurs. Egress windows are required in all finished basements before they can be considered a living space.

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.
