"After performing demo workout, our previous contractor took our $$ and ran. Because of this, we were too spooked to hire another “con”tracor and decided to try a service with a good reputation and warranty. I can not recommend ACE more highly. Our “handyman" Juan was skilled and super knowledgable with the HUGE project he was thrown into. He was on time, efficient and just a joy to deal with! By himself, Juan cleaned up the prior demo area, properly sealed the shower, installed a new shower bench/curbs and repaired the wall…he did everything but the painting, which we took care of. What a worker! Thank you so much Juan and ACE Handyman Services. We will certainly be working with you again!"

"If I could leave 0 stars I would. It started well, we were contacted immediately and scheduled an appointment. Our salesman came out and had a great personality and wasn’t pushy. We picked flooring to be installed on 7/13. On 7/12 I received a call from a woman (in the office) who informed me the they weren’t sure the material would work in our sunroom. She said she was going to contact the installers and get right back to me. This is where everything became unprofessional. First this woman never contacted me again. But I did receive a text saying I needed to accept the changes made to my order. I looked over the information and didn’t see any changes except the date form 7/13 to 7/17. I contacted empire to ask what changes had been made and also I explain about the conversation I had with the woman earlier about the flooring material not working. They assured me everything was fixed and we moved the install to 7/20. 7/19 we received a reminder of our appointment and we moved everything out of of sunroom to prepare for the install. Morning of the install we received a call letting us know all of our materials were loaded onto the truck and on its way to us at some point of the day. Almost 3 hours later I missed a called from a man from empire. His message went on to say that our salesman had made a mistake and should have contacted us, that they would not be able to do the flooring as plan because the material was not up to par with our sunroom and would fail. So my biggest problems with empire is they don’t seem knowledgeable, nobody seem to really know what was going on, it was a waist of my time and I pulled my credit for this. And even worst no one was responsible and everyone just passed the blame. Not a good company if you ask me. I will never go through empire"

Making an existing window bigger always requires some construction, but the extent varies by project. Vertical expansions involve less structural work because they often don't affect load-bearing elements. Even so, any enlargement requires removing siding or drywall, cutting framing members, and installing appropriate support. Non-load-bearing walls allow for simpler modifications, while load-bearing walls require proper headers and structural support. A consultation with a structural engineer is advisable before beginning any window enlargement project.
Building permits are required for window enlargement projects in most municipalities. Since enlarging windows involves structural modifications to your home's exterior walls, local building departments need to review and approve the plans. Permit costs range from $100 to $300, though projects requiring significant structural changes may incur permit fees of $500 or more. Additionally, homes in historic districts or those governed by HOAs may need special approvals. Always check local requirements before beginning work.
An average window enlargement project takes between five hours and three days to complete. Simple projects with minimal structural changes might be finished in five to ten hours, while more complex enlargements requiring significant structural modifications could take up to three days. Factors affecting the timeline include the window's location, wall construction, weather conditions, and the need for specialized materials. The process involves demolition, framing, window installation, and interior/exterior finishing work.
