"Excellent. I shopped around to several different companies looking for price and quality of service for 17 windows I was having replaced on our home. Zeus Windows price for the quality of window was very competitive and about $20,000 less than the leading replacement widow company. The best part was not having to sit through a four hour sales presentation from a sales rep who didn't want to take no for an answer. Everything can be handled online or over the phone and you get detailed schematics so you know it will be correct, very easy. I also was really satisfied with the the installation company they work with called Vance, I'm a little picky when it comes to work on our home and these guys did an excellent job. They used heat to remove the old windows so there was little mess and they were fast, efficient and thorough. Got it all done in one day. Very satisfied."
"The quote was timely. Their schedule was very busy so it took several months for the work to be performed. Once they got there it was quick and professional. "
"Thanks to everyone at Gulf Coast Windows who were involved with our latest window order. This includes Andy, Nicole, Hailey, Brennan, Anthony, Jimmy, Carmello and anyone else who helped. In the past , we replaced a few windows at a time. It took us (6) six of (10) ten years to completely replace all the windows in our home. For (4) four years, we did other improvements to our home. Window replacement has made our home much more comfortable. Thank you Gulf Coast Windows."
"Dustin was courteous and did a good job on this project. The tree was big, so it was a challenge. He hired a company to come out to pick up the tree debris, and it took them a couple of days to actually pick up the debris, but it was finally taken away. And the work on the roof was great. I'd hire Dustin again. He does the work, and his sweet wife answers the business phone. They're a good team."
Costs depend on window size, type, material, and labor. Custom shapes or sizes typically incur higher expenses; full installation includes removing old windows.
There are a few ways to save money on egress window installation. First, choosing pre-fabricated windows instead of custom windows can help dramatically reduce the overall cost. In addition, skipping window extras, like customized frames or window film, can help save money on the price tag without sacrificing the window itself. You should also shop around to multiple window installers to find the best installation deal without sacrificing the quality of the window.
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.
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.
Yes, you can install a bay window in an existing house. You’ll need to have a structural engineer draw up plans to add the necessary support to your exterior load-bearing walls and a general contractor to make the changes to the framing around the new wall opening. This will cost an average of $3,000. After that work is done, a window installer can set the new bay window in place.
