"Denny recommended coating the walls with epoxy to seal the blocks and also an E•Z Breathe® Air Ventilation System. He and his coworker did a fine job, even going out of the way to coat the wall behind the oil tank. Due to the new ventilation system, we've already seen an improvement in the air quality in our home and notice that the basement smells fresh now. And we no longer have to run a dehumidifier! We'll certainly call them again if any further work is needed."

"The start of the job took longer than anticipated. The delivery of the windows took much longer then what was originally projected. The company was a month behind on their time of delivery. I was satisfied with the work done overall. Though there were two issues that needed to be addressed in relation to the job which I discovered after the work was completed. The problems were addressed but it took approximately two months for a return visit to correct them. The response time to correct problems with the job should have been much shorter."

Egress Windows questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

DIY is possible for experienced individuals. Professional installation ensures compliance with building codes and proper sealing.

Yes, you can always make an existing window bigger, but the job complexity varies widely depending on the location of the window and the framing around it. Exterior walls are always load-bearing, so making windows wider will require structural changes that make for a more complex but doable project. Making windows taller often won’t require structural changes.
