"This was the biggest home project that I have ever hired contractors for.  I'm a do-it-yourselfer but with 3 kids and running my own business I just didn't have the time to take on this project.  For years we had wanted this room done but had put it off mainly because of our reluctance to work with contractors after having heard so many horror stories. 

I must say that I'm happy to report that this entire project went very smooth and in the end the room looked even better than I had hope for.  The company owner, John, was very easy to work with and listened to all of my ideas, questions, and concerns.  His workers were friendly, quiet, and cleaned up after themselves.  Since the room posed a bit of a challenge because of the brick surface and the unorthodox windows that were already in place they included me in several brainstorming discussions throughout the project to make sure that I agreed with the approach that they were taking.  They didn't just assume that they knew what I wanted. 

In the end there were no surprises and I was very pleased.  I went into this process very apprehensive about working with contractors but after working with Home Solutions all I can think of is what do I want them to work on next.  I recommend them highly."

Egress Windows questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Egress windows require regular maintenance to ensure they function correctly. This includes cleaning the glass, inspecting the frame and well for debris, and making sure the cover or well drains properly. It is also important to check that the window sills and wells are watertight and to inspect and repair any damage to the window frame or seals to prevent leaks and maintain functionality.

Most professionals can enlarge a window in five to 10 hours, depending on the window location, the exterior wall material, how easy it is to cut through it, and how much buildback you’ll need after the installation is complete. However, more complex projects can take two to three days from start to finish.
