"The personnel I interacted with in preparation for the install as well as the install crew have been excellent and made the whole install experience quite pleasant."
"I had a wonderful experience with Founders Insulation. They were extremely easy to work with. It was easy to schedule an appointment, the gentleman who came out was knowledgeable and polite, and I felt that I received good information and they did not try to sell me something I did not need. Their quote was excellent. The work was scheduled and completed quickly. The installation team was courtesy, thorough, and knew their stuff. They were respectful of my home and went above and beyond. I highly recommend this company."
"David was great, super knowledgeable and patient in explaining things. My house was built in 1945 and had no insulation whatsoever so I decided to change that when remodeling the kitchen. The walls aren't even closed up yet and there is no heater installed in the room yet, but it already feels far warmer than it was before just from the heat from the next room. As I continue to renovate one section at a time I am absolutely going to be calling David and Prudent to insulate as each section gets done."
"I've been trying to find an expert in insulation for months to come out and tell me out to properly insulate around a removed chimney and Comfenergy was the expert I needed. Even though the insulation part of the job was too small for Comfenergy (wasn't above their minimum quote value) they were happy to give me their expert advice and I appreciate the time spent as I now know what to ask the roofing contractor to do in order to insulate this correctly. Thanks!"
"they worked with me to find the size panels I most wanted at reasonable cost and installers were true pros. Price was the best I could find after meeting with several siding companies. Siding looks picture perfect!"
"Superb from start to finish! Installed baffles and an additional 10"+ of blown insulation in our attic. Crew arrived on time, protected all the areas, and did a superb cleanup afterwards. The two crew members were outstanding...and very professional at all times. I would recommend them to anyone! Bob C in Burke, VA"

"Jeff and his installers did a great job installing the blown in insulation at my home. I could not believe the difference it made in both the summer and winter. Jeff was even kind enough to work out a deal with my neighbors when we ran into a unique situation with a shared attic space typical in Old Town. They guy that came in and performed the work were clean and friendly. They were in and out in just a few hours, and they did a great job cleaning up after the job was done, you never would have known they were there. One issue is that Jeff can be difficult to reach by phone when you want to talk to him, and is not the best at calling back. I will say he is responsive by text and email, but some things need to be discussed by voice. Over all the insulation job was well done."
Egress windows are typically required for basements with habitable space or living quarters. Not all basements or lower levels require egress windows. However, egress windows are required in homes with living spaces such as bedrooms and living rooms in a basement. The International Residential Code and International Building Code require sleeping rooms to have a specific size egress window. Check your local building codes to confirm the requirements in your area.
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.
Installing a window well costs anywhere from $500 to $1,500 or more. Adding an egress window and well runs about $3,900 on average. Adding a window well cover to the project can add $200 to $700. A well cover helps protect your egress windows from weather damage and keeps them clear of dirt, debris, and wildlife.
Yes, you absolutely need a permit to add a window to your house. Your contractor can likely obtain this permit on your behalf. Ask about this when getting quotes from multiple window contractors.
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.
