"True North Contracting is very attentive to my requests, does outstanding work, cleans up their worksite, have a great attitude and no foul language. I am very happy with my new bathroom. I would hire them for another project and I may."
"Bill is great to work with. He does everything. We actually asked him to give us an estimate on a paint job to do next spring, but while he was here, he pointed out problems with part of our roof, plus trouble with gutters that were funneling water to siding that was rotted. Itâ s all fixed and we are looking forward to working with him in the spring. It was all more expensive that we expected, but I think we got good value for our money."
"I hired Matt to prepare a site for a shed we have ordered. He replied promptly for a request for an estimate. He explained what needed to be done and gave me a fixed date when he could do the work. Throughout the project, he kept me apprised of the progress and explained the choices that needed to be made. I was impressed with the care with which he approached every aspect of the project. Just a great guy to work with."
"The guys were a great team. They showed up on time, communicated well with each other, and cleaned up any mess they made. There was quite a gap of time between when they finished the porch and came back to finish the ceiling (a small part was due to electrical work) because they overbooked themselves, but they kept in contact with me about it and successfully completed the job. Only complaint at this point is I contacted them after the job was done about something I had that went missing, and they never returned my messages. Will be placing a phone call to try and remedy the situation."

"Despite a comedy of errors in scheduling (Major Snowstorms on two occasions) Dave was great, communicative, prompt, courteous and professional. He worked around my schedule and had the job done in time for me not to be even a minute late to work. HIGHLY RECCOMENDED."
"The service man was very friendly, prompt and explained the services that they recommended in detail. Their prices were a little high, and with my insurance, I used another provider."
"Dan is an accomplished professional, responsive, easy to talk to and very accommodating to any requests we had. His work is excellent, knowledgeable in all aspects of home maintenance, pays attention to details, and maintains a neat and clean work area. Dan worked both inside and outside our home. We would not hesitate to have him back for any future project. Here's an example of one project Dan completed for usâ ¦ Years of water intrusion had weakened an area near our front door and a chipmunk borrowed through the siding and made a home. After humanely evicting the critter, we were left with a hole in the side of the house and damaged molding on the front door. We contacted Dan and discovered water had damaged all of the lower clapboards in the front of the house, and they needed replacement. In addition, some of the underlying sheathing, base plate, and studs had rotted and needed to be replaced. Further complicating matters, the pilaster molding along one side of the front door was ruined and a replacement was no longer available from the manufacturer. Dan quickly and professionally made all the repairs â including fashioning a new pilaster molding from scratch. To prevent future water intrusion, he was careful to seal and prime where appropriate -- including places only Dan would ever see. After he painted the siding and varnished the front door threshold it all looked better than new."
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.
New window installation costs range from $300 to $1,500 per window, depending on size, material, and energy efficiency features.
Basements are generally required to have windows for your safety. At a minimum, windows should provide an egress in the event of a fire. But basement windows do more than offer a way out; basement windows also offer natural light and ventilation in an area of your home that is otherwise dark and musty.
The primary benefits of an egress window include providing a safe emergency exit, increasing natural light in a space like a basement, and improving ventilation. Additionally, installing an egress window can often increase your property's value.
The cost to install a bow window can range from $1,500 to $15,000, with a national average of $3,900. The total price includes materials, which can cost between $1,200 and over $14,000, and labor, which typically adds $300 to $1,900. Several factors influence the final cost, including the window's size and frame material. For example, vinyl frames are the most budget-friendly option, while wood frames are more expensive. Custom features or energy-efficient upgrades will also increase the price. For comparison, a bay window installation typically costs between $1,000 and $7,000.
