"Gabriel was the project manager and was very good at explaiing everything and checking with me to make sure I was pleased with the work being done in my basement. They started on Monday and was all finished on Friday. Very pleased with the completed work."
"Greene Construction Inc was amazing. The best contractor I have ever had and will use them again for sure. First they installed the egress window for us and the next day came back to build a pine wall and door so our middle child could have his own bedroom. It took two full days and it was worth it. Both mornings they showed up at 8 AM and worked until it was done. They cleaned up well after the work was done as well. The company is great and I recommend them to all. TJ and Gary do great work and are really nice guys and they know what they are doing. Demian, who is the owner - is the kind of contractor you want - A great one. He was on vacation when I first contact him and he got back to me right away to set up a meeting. A contractor that actually wants business - finally! Friendly, honest, great work and prompt.
"In Spring 2012, we obtained quotes from three companies to tear out two existing retaining walls along the driveway and re-build them using Versalok, excavate and grade the backyard, and build a 3.5 - 4 foot retaining wall in the backyard using the stone from the old retaining walls. Genadek had the middle quote; they were also the only company to follow up with a phone call. The whole job took about 4 1/2 weeks. Stan, Mike, Tim, Rob and Andrew were very professional and friendly; our neighbors even raved about them. They cleaned up the job site at the end of each day and communicated frequently so there were no surprises. My only recommendation to those interested in hiring Genadek is to get on their schedule early. Their calendar books up fast! "
"We are incredibly satisfied overall. Rick was great to work with from the initial meeting up until the end. You can tell this company believes in integrity and quality. We made a great choice and we hope this will help the next person make the right choice."
"I had a set of cabinets added to my kitchen, and they match the old ones perfectly! Jason always answered my questions quickly, and they worked very cleanly when installing. The end result is exactly what I was looking for."
They arrived on time, worked long hours, kept me informed as to how each piece of the project would go.. Steve Did an excellent job as the manager of the project in explaining the details of the owrk, and how long it would take. They understood that I was selling the house, and need it complete within a week for the open house and they did not fail the project. They performed extra work on the roof line, fixed door trim incorrectly installed by someone else. They went above and beyond. The area cleaned up well, Steve is available all the time, whether I called him morning or night and always ansered "not a problem" no matter what I had to ask, or have them do. Everyone on the project was professional, they work long hours to get the project done.
I had bid from other companies, but Steve and his assurances stood out. Would not hesitate to hire them again."
"I bought the deal over the new year's weekend and Vitaly, the owner emailed me while on vacation from out of the country to assure me I was on his list. We got the work scheduled and it was completed without a hitch.
The work is beautiful and the transformation to the house is stunning."
There are a few ways to save money on egress window installation. First, choosing pre-fabricated windows instead of custom windows can help dramatically reduce the overall cost. In addition, skipping window extras, like customized frames or window film, can help save money on the price tag without sacrificing the window itself. You should also shop around to multiple window installers to find the best installation deal without sacrificing the quality of the window.
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.
They meet local code demands for escape routes, lighten basements, and aid in reducing overall humidity.
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.
DIY is possible for experienced individuals. Professional installation ensures compliance with building codes and proper sealing.
