"Back in April, my wife and I hired John Pinto (Go Carpenter) to address the following 4 issues at the house we recently purchased. 1) Installation of a fire door for the utility\laundry room 2) Repair of the main door which had cracks in the frame and would not close properly. 3) Repair of a sliding closet door in the basement apartment 4) Soundproofing the kitchen door leading to the basement Starting from the initial phone call onward, John was hands down one of the most responsive, professional and honest individuals, I have ever hired. He performed an initial walkthrough to meet and better capture the scope of the work so he knew what exact materials to purchase. It was during this visit that he found that there was no need to replace the entire main door frame. Instead, he suggested we try to use longer screws to anchor the door to the wall stud. Also, he found the kitchen door did not need to replaced. He suggested that he install a door sweep and better insulation lining around gaps in the door frame. It has been nearly two months since the work was done. I can honestly say that his suggestions were spot on, worked without fail and were highly cost effective. Speaking of pricing, that is another reason why I liked John’s approach. He charged us a flat rate for the labor based on the amount of time he estimated the project would take him and his colleague. He then purchased the materials and we simply reimbursed him based on the receipts when he was done. We knew exactly what products he purchased and installed and how much they cost. This method provides completely transparency and I appreciated it. All in all, John and his team were complete professionals and I am planning on hiring them for future projects in the house. He is an excellent contractor!"

"I hired Roeland Home Improvers because Arnie and John really impressed me with their knowledge and experience. I am very happy with my completed master bath. They did everything they promised. We had one small glitch when my faucets were delivered in the wrong color. Although this was my problem, Beth from the main office got Amazon to replace them with an expedited order. This team was very easy to work with and very responsive. I would definitely recommend them."

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.

If improperly installed, an egress window can compromise your foundation’s structural integrity, so it’s important to work with a pro to ensure your foundation remains in good shape. Any money you may save on a DIY egress window installation may cost you in the long run if your foundation is damaged in the process.

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.

The average cost to install an egress window is approximately $3,900, with a typical range between $2,500 and $5,300, though costs can be higher. The final price is influenced by several factors, including the window's size, type, material, and glass quality. Other variables include labor costs, location, excavation needs, and whether permits or a structural engineer consultation are required. The price of the window itself often depends on the number of panes:

  • Single-pane: $100–$400

  • Double-pane: $200–$500

  • Triple-pane: $300–$800

Additional features like window wells or covers will also increase the total project cost. It is advisable to obtain multiple quotes from professionals to get a comprehensive understanding of the expenses for your specific project.

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.
