"I hired Bob for several exterior projects on my home, including replacing rotting window trim, building custom window headers to match the originals, and sealing, sanding, and painting the trim. He’s a highly skilled carpenter and a hard worker who takes pride in his craft. He’s also friendly and great at communicating, always letting me know when to expect him. I’m very happy with his work and would gladly hire him again. Highly recommended!"

"Vestige was fantastic. They did a beautiful job with a custom installation of a built in library cabinet, countertop, and bookshelf. They were communicative and easy to work with."

I have been in the construction trade for 30+ years, I specialize on interior work - flooring, windows, doors, stairs, custom cabinetmaking, etc. but I also have experience building decks, porches, sheds, etc. I am currently in the final stages of a full remodel of my personal kitchen. I love what I do and for the past 15 years, I have been sharing my knowledge and experience with high school students working as a carpentry instructor.\nI am listed as working in NH but I am willing to work in MA, I do have my MA contractors license, so that will not be an issue if the job requires it. I'd prefer to work within a 20 mile radius of home but for the right job, I will travel. \nI have skills in all aspects of construction and prefer smaller jobs that don't require more than 2 people. \nYou should hire me because I have a strong passion for what I do, I am a perfectionist, I have many years of experience (there is nothing I haven't seen), I am professional, punctual and responsible. \n

"We just wrapped up a big project with EB Window & Siding - replaced all vinyl siding, shutters, gutters, and trim on our exterior, replaced a few windows, and removed an old balcony and door. Overall, the experience was really terrific. Colin came out a couple of different times to discuss options, timelines, etc. The majority of the work was completed by a crew of 3-4 each day, led by Oscar. It was immediately clear to us that the entire crew took great pride in their work. Oscar was thoughtful about some of the tricker parts of the house and how best to accent different areas with the materials we had selected. Everyone was incredibly courteous, clean, respectful of the property. They never wanted to bother us, but anytime we asked for updates, they’d walk us around the house and describe what was being done. Everything wrapped up on time, despite holidays and inclement weather. In the days that followed, Colin coordinated a few additional people to help out with miscellaneous punch list items, and everything was wrapped up in a timely manner. We interacted with a lot of different people from EB Window & Siding throughout the process, and everyone was top-notch in terms of craftsmanship and customer service. I would highly recommend them to anyone taking on a project like this."

"Charles and his assistant Doug arrived as planned on the Sunday after Christmas, and worked all day despite an oncoming blizzard. They were both very friendly and professional, and worked non-stop The windows look great. The door installation was complicated and probably fairly unpleasant, but the final product far exceeded our expectations. The old door was a non-standard size and very poorly installed. Rather than insisting on a custom order door, Charles figured out a way to rebuild the door frame so that we could use a standard size steel door and improve the configuration of the door frame at the same time. The new door is not only a lot more attractive and energy efficient, it functions 100 times better than before. To top it off, Charles not only worked over time to get the installation done in time for us to qualify for a tax credit, but also gave a discount because we are Angie's List members. We recommend them without hesitation!"

"This is the second time we hired 1st Choice Home improvement. Our 40 year old kitchen had a damaged kitchen floor and sagging cabinets. After much discussion we decided to call Rich Russell and Paul Nee, contractors, who had been so fantastic to work with when we had our sunroom leak repaired and windows and doors replaced. We wouldn't even call other contractors to compare prices. Rich and Paul may cost a little more but their quality, communication and workmanship is worth every penny! Again, Paul and Rich came down and offered good ideas and suggested we contact a designer they had worked with to assist in our plans. Rich and Paul have a trusted work crew with a gifted craftsman, Milan, who undertook most of the work. We had our old formica sagging cabinets replaced with white wooden cabinets, new blue pearl granite countertops and sink installed, recessed lighting replaced an old tiffany light fixture, the walls and ceiling were painted and an oak hardwood floor was installed to replace old worn out vinyl. The floor installers wove the wood into the hallway so it blends in perfectly. We had our sink moved to the corner so we would have more counter space. Paul and Rich always used quality materials and finished the kitchen with beautiful crown molding and baseboards. They use top notch sub contractors for the electrical, plumbing and floor work. Paul and Rich treated our home as if it were their own. They checked the work and advocated for us, if necessary, every step of the way. Their communication was superb. We could call or email anytime and they answered quickly. Recently we had a family party and received compliments throughout the day. Even the home inspectors who came to evaluate the work for the town admire the kitchen.We wouldn’t hesitate to call 1st Choice Home Improvement for our next home project."

"When me and my husband bough our first condo we wanted to hire someone to do a built in for us as we had limited space. We found Green Valley Construction on Craigslist and reached out to them. We were so happy with the work they did that now almost 8 years later they are the first ones we call when we need any contractor for our home. Most recently, just after we bough our first house, we needed a contractor for a few jobs. Green Valley Construction built us a beautiful new deck and outside stairs and installed new doors. As always we were very happy with their work! They are very responsive, finish on time and provide helpful advice on each of the projects."

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.
