"Excellent, the company personnel Bob, Kathy & Paul gave us many options on choosing what had to be done to improve the unit. Everyone is very easy to work with. Most importantly, after the job was completed, any items that had to be adjusted they came back and fixed the problem."

"Company very responsive. Was able to come right away to see what needed to be done. As they worked, unfortunately one replacement window pane broke. They immediately returned to their store and returned later the same day with more glass, which was installed without incident."

"This provider is one for the most honest and professional I've ever met - upon arrival he immediately told me that he is not the guy for the job - the windows in my house should be wood and he does not do wood windows. Despite it he proceeded to give me all the information needed for the project. And it was much needed indeed - I had been completely clueless about window replacement. He spent close to an hour telling me everything I need to know and he was very honest and extremely knowledgeable. He answered all my questions. Now I understand why this company has so many good reviews - they've been in business for two decades and they really care about the quality. Just because he wanted our house to look the best he walked away from a huge contract ( we need close to thirty windows!!!). I wish all contractors were like that!! I can not wait to find another job to give to this contractor ! I am really impressed"

Egress Windows questions, answered by experts

The proper way to install a window well is to measure the window, dig a hole deeper and wider than the window, place a drainage tube and cap, anchor the well to the foundation, caulk the seam, and backfill the hole. The job requires tools such as a hammer drill and auger and some heavy digging. Proper placement and window well installation are critical to preventing water from leaking into the window.

To find and hire a reputable contractor for an egress window installation, you should first research local professionals and then vet your top candidates. Start by searching for local contractors who specialize in this type of work, read their customer reviews, and examine their website and portfolio. Once you have a shortlist, contact them to ask key questions: Are you licensed and insured? What is your specific experience 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?

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.

Most modern egress windows installed in basements open outward into a window well, although some older homes have in-swing windows. Egress windows, like casement windows used in other parts of the home, such as bedrooms and bathrooms, may open inward, and these windows are often larger than outward-opening windows.

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.
