"John was excellent in every step of the process of replacing a 2nd story, double pane, ~42.5" x 51", cracked bedroom window. Starting with a timely return phone call to set up an appointment for a quote, and finishing with a great installation of a new window, John kept me informed of the status of things along the way, which I always appreciate as a project is "in process." He let me know when the glass would be ready, when he had available installation times, etc. Jags Glass & Window Repair was excellent, and I would use them again, and also recommend them to friends."

"Bob Gray and his team at 4-Ever Water-Tite did amazing work on our basement. I fully recommend this company without hesitation for any basement waterproofing, plumbing, or foundation work. The team was extremely knowledgeable and skilled, professional, courteous, and just good people all around. Bob was able to schedule our project in quickly and it was completed within three days. The work that was completed was exceptional, as well as the clean-up. The price was also very reasonable and the work has a lifetime transferable warranty."

"The service went fine. He did what the deal stated. He was polite and professional while visiting. It was not very easy to schedule the deal because they were pretty busy at the time I was looking to have the service done. I let the receptionist know I had way more than 20 outlets to be worked on and I was willing to pay an additional fee for the extra time for what I needed. The electrician ended up only doing the 20 outlets because he was so busy. He suggested I email him some dates and said he could be out in about 1 month to finish the rest of the job. I was not impressed by that and ended up using another company to finish the job."

"Kyle Adkins, the owner, did the first part of the work. He moved the heat run in the kitchen floor one joist over so it would be centered in front of the new sliding door to be installed at a later date. Kyle also began the first part of construction to modify the existing window area in preparation for a larger 6 foot wide sliding door. He did an excellent job in a professional manner. Originally, all the work for the heat run and sliding door installation was to be done in one day however we needed the work to be split so the new floor could be installed prior to the sliding door. Kyle agreed to split the job for us. The two men who installed the sliding door on September 18, 2013 were very polite and and answered all of my questions along the way. It was a big job because the window opening had to be enlarged and framed in to accommodate the sliding door, along with moving an electrical plug and install an outdoor light and switch. They did an excellent job with the construction, installing the new sliding door, all the trim work and the finish for the exterior vinyl siding and trim. Also did a great job with the final clean up. They seemed to enjoy their job and were still very upbeat when they left. I would highly recommend Kyle and his team that installed the sliding door.

Egress Windows questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

The entire window replacement process, from the initial consultation to the final installation, typically takes between four and 15 weeks. This timeline accounts for measuring appointments, ordering, and manufacturing. On the day of the job, the physical installation takes about 30 minutes to two hours per window. A full-house replacement can take one to three days to complete. Factors that can extend this timeline include the total number of windows, custom sizes, complex window types, second-story installations, and any necessary repairs to existing window frames or openings.

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?

Adding windows to a house is expensive. Budget roughly $5,800 to add a single window, and double or triple that to add two or three. In some cases, adding a single window can exceed $20,000, depending on the type of exterior wall, the size of the window, the type of window, local permit costs, and other factors.
