"We did hire this business and they did a good job. They miscalculated a bit on price and we aren't totally sure the areas around the chimney are fixed (we need a hard rain). The workers were excellent, worked hard and long hours, never bothered us at all and cleaned up very well after themselves."

"Everything went wonderfully with this company.  They were very professional, listened to exactly what my problem was, and explained to me how they were going to diagnose the problem and/or solve it before doing any actual work.  Once they started, the team (three people came) worked together like a well-oiled machine.  One was in the room with diagnostics, one was at the fuse box looking for possible problems there, and the third went into the crawlspace beneath our house to look at the physical wiring.  Once the problem was found (there was a faulty wire beneath the house that had come loose from the junction box), it was fixed and tested within minutes and another full diagnostic was done to make sure there were no other possible issues.  They cleaned up after themselves very neatly.  They also replaced the light switch with a dimmer switch at no extra cost!  Well within my budget, and came in even lower than their original (FREE) estimate!  I would highly recommend this company to anyone in the Bergen County area.

"Justin is very thorough and professional. He took pictures of my skylight showing exactly what the problem was and fixed it the very next day in the midst of a snow shower. Additionally, he was prompt, very reassuring and his pricing is extremely fair. His communication was excellent and in today's world that is very hard to come by. It was a a very rewarding experience to work with someone who knows what they are doing, does it well, stands by their work and shows up on time. I will definitely hire him again and refer him to my fellow retired friends. Marysue in Portland, Maine"

"I contracted with Hutchings to rebuild the retaining wall above my driveway. The work Hutchings Masonry did was exact, even working large blocks of granite back into my retaining wall. The finished work looks totally natural; no mortar is showing and the ellipse of the wall is perfect when seen from above."

Egress Windows questions, answered by experts

DIY is possible for experienced individuals. Professional installation ensures compliance with building codes and proper sealing.

Egress windows are typically required for basements with habitable space or living quarters. Not all basements or lower levels require egress windows. However, egress windows are required in homes with living spaces such as bedrooms and living rooms in a basement. The International Residential Code and International Building Code require sleeping rooms to have a specific size egress window. Check your local building codes to confirm the requirements in your area.

Egress windows require regular maintenance to ensure they function correctly. This includes cleaning the glass, inspecting the frame and well for debris, and making sure the cover or well drains properly. It is also important to check that the window sills and wells are watertight and to inspect and repair any damage to the window frame or seals to prevent leaks and maintain functionality.

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.

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?
