"Replaced and installed new gutters with guards. Repaired rotted facia. Installation was quick and professional. Very impressed with professionalism of installers and quality of materials and work."
"Universal Windows Direct of Manchester provided not only prompt, professional, and preferred service, they also provided a peace of mind for the service they provided. The owner personally visited my home and suggested several suggestions to address my concerns. Never was I pressured, pursued, or offered a product which I had not asked. Universal Windows Direct offered me the security that I knew that this was a company of integrity and honesty. So much so, that when the work was done, I was not home. Unbelievable! And, when I returned home from work on the day of my new window installation, all I could see was the view from my new window...windex'd cleaned, with no evidence that they has ever been in my house. Universal Windows Direct of Manchester treated my home- as their home, with respect and responsibility. They not only met my concerns, they under promised and very much over delivered. Would I use them again...you bet, in a flash! Thank you Universal Windows Direct of Manchester. Doug Robinson, Derry, NH 03038"
"We recently hired Jared and his team to completely renovate the exterior of our building, including replacing the siding, windows, doors, and roof. From start to finish, they were incredibly hands-on and focused on customer satisfaction, making sure every aspect of the project met our expectations and requirements. Their pricing was the most competitive of the contractors we considered, but what really impressed us was the quality of the workmanship. The craftsmanship and attention to detail were outstanding and reflected the skill of seasoned professionals who take pride in their work. The crew efficiently removed the old siding and immediately installed a weather barrier to protect the building before replacing the windows and doors. All of the materials used were high quality, and the finished product exceeded our expectations. The CertainTeed vinyl siding looks fantastic and came out exactly as described, giving the building a clean, sharp, and updated appearance."
"Great experience all around. Estimate was timely and reasonable, installers were friendly and went the extra mile to ensure they were doing things as I expected. Highly recommended!"
"Very knowledgeable and friendly staff who did exactly what they said they would for the price they quoted. Called in advance of scheduled service to be sure I didn’t have any questions and confirm our schedule. This guy takes pride in his work!"
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.
Expect excavation below grade, creating a well for access, weatherproofing, and thorough inspections during setup.
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.
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, you can install a bay window in an existing house. You’ll need to have a structural engineer draw up plans to add the necessary support to your exterior load-bearing walls and a general contractor to make the changes to the framing around the new wall opening. This will cost an average of $3,000. After that work is done, a window installer can set the new bay window in place.
