"Duran Plastering did stucco repair, exterior trim painting and gutter installation. Everything went perfectly--they are very communicative, prompt, performed quality work, and cleaned everything up."
"A house in our neighborhood (Taylor Ranch) had a beautiful stucco finish -- and a Western Wall sign in front. That was the kind of look I wanted, so I contacted Cesar and Nora Grajeda. From our first meeting, I felt I was dealing with honest, hard-working people who knew their business and wanted to do a quality job. They gave us a clear, detailed estimate and explained exactly how the work would be done -- and what materials they would use. As the owner of a flat-roof Southwestern home, I was especially impressed with how our parapets would be rebuilt with mesh fabric and sealer before the synthetic color coat was applied. Cesar was confident this stucco project would seal out water -- and that made me confident, too. We negotiated a fair price and they started the job the following week. The work crews that arrived were very respectful to us as homeowners and careful how they did the job. They communicated a few things we could do -- for example, trimming back a cactus -- to help. In addition to the parapet work, they sealed cracks and areas around all the doors and windows. Again, I felt this would help keep our home water-tight. We had a full range of color options, and Cesar and Nora brought over a sample square to show us exactly how it would look, confirming our choice. The color coat is bright and beautiful with a perfectly consistent sand texture -- a work of art, in my opinion. Clean-up was very thorough and the crew actually improved my two gates by re-attaching the hinges better than they were before. Cesar offered to install new lights free of charge, so we bought a nice pair of security lights at Costco for the front, completing the look. We are very happy the way the project turned out. I highly recommend this company."
"From Victor, the owner, to all the laborers, everyone was very professional, friendly, & honest. A great team and a great job from start to finish. I wonâ t hesitate to hire them again. Thank you, ProBuilders!"
"The old peeling painted surfaces were expertly and seamlessly repaired. Shai's workman was an artist, hand-mixing the materials to match exactly the old surfaces, so it all looks like new. The water damage was a longer and more complicated process, involving assessment of water still within the wall (yes), asbestos testing ( positive), and abatement, all before Above & Beyond could start work. When they did, it went as smoothly as possible:The men moved all my bedroom furniture, which includes heavy 250-year-old chests, took down 10-foot-tall curtains and pelmets: scraped and evened out the cement floor, adding a coat of cement, replacing insulation and drywall, installing LVT flooring, and painting. Then they replaced all the furniture. Shai, himself, is professional, experienced, and knowledgeable. These traits filter down to his crews. Everything went as he said, on schedule, with no drama and no fuss. Moreover, when the insurance company was slow in sending the check, he was very understanding, and assured me he would hold my credit card information until the check came in. I cannot praise this company, and the owner, highly enough. Both experiences with them have been a real pleasure - even with my bedroom sitting in the rest of the house! Shai's quiet competence and managerial abilities filter down to his work crew, making everything transparent, smoothly predictable, and very well done. The results have been outstanding, and if I win a lottery, I will hire them again, to redo the whole house!"
"Terrapin is a great company to work with. They are easy to contact, receptive to requests, work quickly, and completed a stunning stucco project on our house. We highly recommend their work!"
"Noemi was professional from start to finish!! Efficient friendly and brilliant work ethics! She did way more than just paint the interior of our house! We purchased new lights and ceiling fans and she installed all! We had to have new closet doors for one bedroom and she purchased and installed them as well! Quite honestly I donâ  t know how I would have managed with out her and her team! We highly recommend Grace Builders LLC . Just a great experience!!"
"Let Happy Homes Lath & Plaster and Roofing. L.L.P. take the stress out of any remodeling project you may have. They did the following projects for my husband & I: Installed a new front & back door. Completely did the stucco work on my home & work shop. Painted our storage building & a new fence that was constructed on back yard this past spring. The crew truly worked many long hours in the hot sun getting the jobs done. Lastly, for twenty years I have been looking at sheet rock in our garage that my husband was going to get to. I now have a finished garage that I can actually use this winter to park my car in. They are able to finish a wide range of projects and they were reasonably priced to fit our budget."
"Blessed Town Construction did a wonderful job! I had them extend a driveway and front porch, and weld and install a metal fence at my parent's house. They did such a great job, so clean, so quick, so thorough! I would absolutely recommend them and I will use them again."
There are a range of egress window types available, including:
Single-hung: $100–$400
Double-hung: $250–$500
Horizontal/sliding: $150–$800
Casement: $200–$500
In-swing: $350–$700
When choosing a type of egress window, consider how you’d like to open it. For example, double-hung egress windows open from top to bottom and let plenty of fresh air in, whereas sliding windows slide open for easy access.
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 entire window replacement process, from the initial consultation to the final installation, typically takes between four and 15 weeks. This timeline accounts for measuring appointments, ordering, and manufacturing. On the day of the job, the physical installation takes about 30 minutes to two hours per window. A full-house replacement can take one to three days to complete. Factors that can extend this timeline include the total number of windows, custom sizes, complex window types, second-story installations, and any necessary repairs to existing window frames or openings.
Yes, egress windows can significantly add value to a home. By making basement and attic areas safer and more livable, they allow you to market these spaces as finished living areas, which increases your property's value. Many homeowners can recover the full installation cost, with some sources citing a return on investment of around 70%. The exact value added depends on your specific home, location, and adherence to local building codes. Beyond financial value, egress windows enhance functionality by adding natural light and comfort. They are also a crucial safety feature, often mandated by building codes to serve as an emergency exit.
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.
