"David did a wonderful job at our home. He painted two rooms and finished a ceiling. He also did several handyman jobs for us: sealed windows and doors, weather stripping, carpentry, fixed/sanded/stained our front door, cleaned out the dryer vent, repaired our deck, etc. He did a great job with everything. The painting was flawless. David was very responsive, honest, great to work with, and punctual. He charged a reasonable price for his services and took pride in his work. I would definitely hire him again and have recommended him to friends and family."

"The Chisel Construction company is beyond amazing. I had a extremely deteriorating dock for years and only had a certain budget to fix it. I called Chisel Construction & spoke to the lovely Andrea (the design & operations manager) and out of the blue, she told me they have options to do work on my budget which I thought was impossible based on what other companies had told me. I went ahead and set an appointment to have a representative come out. The product they showed me was amazing and they had a plan that worked just for me. I eventually ended up taking care of my paint, dock and all my windows thanks to the amazing team at Chisel Construction & Home Improvement, LLC. I was almost to the point I had to sell my home because I was so tired of looking at it... And now it's beautiful. 10/10 would highly recommened. They did excellent work. Guaranteed warranty products. Friendly and quick service."

Egress Windows questions, answered by experts

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.

A good U-factor for windows is 0.30 or lower, but they can range from 0.20 to 1.20. A general rule of thumb when it comes to the U-factor is that the lower, the better.

Installing a window well costs anywhere from $500 to $1,500 or more. Adding an egress window and well runs about $3,900 on average. Adding a window well cover to the project can add $200 to $700. A well cover helps protect your egress windows from weather damage and keeps them clear of dirt, debris, and wildlife.

Yes, egress windows are grandfathered. However, this comes with some specifications. If you are remodeling a basement or adding a sleeping area, you’ll need to update the egress windows to be up to proper code. But, if you’re leaving your home as is, you do not have to adhere to these requirements.

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