"They responded right away. We needed more communication on the details of the work. Language barrier cause some issues, I don't speak Spanish. They were polite and professional. I would recommend them to others."

"Ed and his team are FANTASTIC! Based on the great reviews by others on AL, I called Ed and he came to inspect our home. Although he had a busy schedule, he was able to squeeze us in quickly ( we really needed it!), and the recent storm left us dry and comfy for the first time in years! The work was first rate, and when they left, you could not tell that anything had been done- the area was pristine. I would recommend Ed for all your waterproofing needs! He really lives up to his reputation!"

"Arranged sales call with Lisa. Mike came and measured then quoted me a very attractive price for ten windows and a sliding glass door. Wilson came and verified the measurements of the windows and sliding glass door. Wilson and another gentleman installed everything in a day and a half. The entire project from start to finish went very smoothly."

"From the receptionist to the designer, Howard; to the project manager, Emilio; to the installers, Freddy and José; the whole process was professional. Howard took the time to help design my bathroom. He made suggestions and offered different options to me. Very helpful. Emilio oversaw the project and made sure everything ran smoothly. They all took the time to explain the whole process and then orchestrated it when scheduled. Freddy and José showed up on time, worked diligently and cleaned up each night before leaving. The bathroom came out better than I ever expected! It is beautiful! Alure has the whole process taken care of, from the very start, to completion. It was a stress free experience! I would definitely use them again. A+"

"This was one of the best contractors I've literally ever worked with. They were pleasant, punctual, clean, talented (perfectionists), and so responsive to all of our needs. The owner, Karim, is the most lovely human. He takes so much pride in his work and supports his team in every way. He works hard himself and also looks out for his workers, as well as obviously looking out for the customer. We couldn't be happier."

"BEWARE - THEY KEEP $1,200 DEPOSIT IF THEY CAN'T DO THEIR JOB!!! Upper management doesn't care about customers! A star each for salesman Ron & construction crew since they were great. They tried to put in a window, after removing bushes, cutting multiples holes in finished basement & drilling through foundation, discovered after digging down 4 feet, there was significant water against the foundation. They recommended not completing the job since the water could create issues. We had just bought this house. No outside water leaks, just clay soil holding a lot of water. After agreeing they shouldn't complete installation, I was told they'd be keeping the $1,200 deposit. I argued it wasn't my fault they couldn't do it & was willing to split the difference but was told they had to cover themselves for a loss of revenue. Clearly only caring about their bottom line and not the customer, especially in a unique situation. My wife called again to complain & they sent us a $300 visa gift card."

FAQs for egress window installation projects in Forest Hills, NY

Yes, installing egress windows typically requires a building permit because it involves structural changes and safety considerations. If excavation is needed for a window well, additional permits may be required. Contact your local building authority to ensure compliance with all regulations.

The primary installation of an egress window usually takes about three days. Additional time may be needed for excavation, wall cutting, and finishing work, especially if structural modifications are involved. The timeline also depends on the window's availability and proper sizing.

Yes, improper installation can compromise your home's foundation and structural integrity. To prevent costly damage and ensure safety, it's essential to hire a qualified professional who can install the egress window correctly.

Yes, building codes require egress windows or doors in finished basements designated as habitable spaces. Every living area must have an approved exit point for safety and emergency egress. Unfinished basements used solely for storage may be exempt.
