Replaced an egress window, including lowering it by 4 inches to meet current code. Removed the timber well and enlarged it slightly and rebuilt it including steps/ladder to get out of the well. Repaired the drywall and added trim to the interior side of the window.
John pulled all the permits and was available every time the inspector needed to do his inspection. He estimated it would take 4 days and it took 4.5 days. He was punctual every day and started on the day that we agreed on. He also did an excellent job cleaning up the job site.
We contacted John mid summer for an estimate and were very happy with his bid. His bid was extremely fair compared to the other bids we got.
I don't think any of windows were a standard easy installation...we asked for a bigger well than normal, wanted stone wells, and one of the windows didn't have an exisiting window so it needed a header and it was under an overhang of the house. John provided us with great recommendations such as extending the well of the window with the overhang to allow more light, etc. We are very happy with the results and the whole process and would strongly recommend John to anyone.
I waited until now to post a review because I wanted to be sure that the window well dome I ordered fit properly and it did. The dome was very expensive and if the window well wall was installed even slightly off, the dome would not fit. This type of dome is not available in stores and required special order.
My thanks to a contractor who made a special effort to bail me out on short notice.
John went above and beyond the call of duty when the guy I hired to pour the egress window well botched the pour. John identified a solution to the problem without needing to start over and volunteered to correct the problem. The concrete guy made excuses.
