"It was great, they did not cut any corners and they cleaned up after themselves. The quote that they give doesn't have any hidden charges also they are very punctual and finished in the time that they said they would."

"We used Thayer Construction for a complete renovation of our offices/restrooms at our distribution warehouse. It was a large project (5 offices and 4 restrooms) that required a lot of planning and communication. They were very responsive, honest and polite throughout the entire process. I would not hesitate to recommend them for any projects - big or small!"

"Mark and his team were great! This was a very small job (less than $500), that others were not interested in doing. He came and met with me about the job and made recommendations for materials. Once they came in, he picked them up, and had the job completed in 1 day within a week of the arrival of the cabinets. He cared about the details, making sure everything was level and secure. He and his crew were personable and professional, and they cleaned up afterwards. I am hoping to hire him for another larger job. Great quality, great experience! Thanks Mark!"

Egress Windows questions, answered by experts

An egress window is similar to a regular window. However, this type of window opens fully to allow people to escape the home or rescue personnel to enter the home if an emergency occurs. Egress windows are required in all finished basements before they can be considered a living space.

You install a window well 8 to 12 inches deeper than the base of the window sill. After filling the well with drainage rock, the well should sit 3 inches below the bottom of the window. The top of the window well should also be at least 3 inches higher than the surface-grade ground. The window well should be about 6 inches wider than the window opening.

Finding a reputable contractor for an egress window installation involves researching and vetting potential candidates. Start by searching for local professionals, reading customer reviews, and checking their websites for a portfolio of their work.

Once you have a shortlist, ask the following questions to ensure they are qualified:

• Are you licensed and insured?

• What experience do you have 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?

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.

When you need new windows depends on a variety of factors, including the age of your windows, the age of your home, and the climate you live in. If you’re dealing with budget constraints, you don’t need to replace all your windows simultaneously. 

When buying new windows, you should consider energy efficiency, safety, and aesthetics to choose the right window for you.
