"Tyrell did an excellent job correcting the mistakeS of the people who installed my basement waterproofing equipment. There was a terrible rotten egg smell and that's gone now. Tyrell cleaned up after himself, if any water spilled he made sure to vacuum it up and to dispose of everything in the proper place."

"I got 3 estimates and this company was the best price. From the free estimate to completion of work, everything was so professional. They showed up on time with a 7-man crew, so the job was completed in one day. Six years after the job was done, my basement is still bone dry - so dry it actually gets dusty! My crawlspace is so low a person can only crawl around, but they did a great job there, as well, installing a thick white vapor barrier."

"I highly recommend Roca Construction.  Mr. Roca showed up with his team ? on time and ready to work. 

He carefully sealed off the room from the rest of the house to minimize dust in my home and began demolition.  The thorough clean up after the demo by his crew was much appreciated.  Then the room was fully insulated.  They even uncovered a channel that went al the way up to the second floor between the walls that had never had insulation before. Mr. Roca suggested that they build in a box to contain the insulation and properly insulate the upper floor room.  This to an extra day and he did it at a fair and very small increase to the bill. I am sure that the savings to our gas bill will make up for the small increase in price. The new second floor certainly made the  second floor room much warmer immediately. They insulated the room they were renovating very thoroughly - cleverly reusing some of the insulation that had been there before. 

Then they framed in a new subfloor and replaced sheetrock where it needed replacing. They installed a new wooden floor ? thinking through how the longest pieces of wood should be used.  They also framed in a new ceiling replacing the ugly plywood fake beadboard with beautiful real beadboard - which comes in 2-board slats. It is a lot of work to install this material. Then the entire room was primed and painted.  Using window trim that we specially ordered from a lumber yard - milled to match the other trim in our house, they did a perfect job mitering the corners. They also, installed cove molding - which was constructed from three different cove molding pieces (complicated) as to match the historic cove molding. Then the  final painting was completed.

Mr. Roca is an excellent contractor. His team is professional, highly skilled, responsive, careful, and neat.  They are real perfectionist. The mitered corners were skillfully completed. The floor and ceiling beautiful and level, and the paint job was perfect.  The sidewalk and apron paving was also perfect ? so well done that five of our neighbors hired Roca to re-do their sidewalks too. Now we have a whole block of beautiful sidewalks. 
 
Mr. Roca's team are friendly and quiet. They cleaned up the job site each evening.  They have a good work ethic and show up on time. They did not rush the work and as a result  their work product was excellent too.  The job took about 3 weeks. 

We are very picky about renovations on our historic home. We have fired more than one contractor over the years. My husband is an amateur woodworker - he is very picky about work on the house. We were both delighted with the quality of Roca's work.  I recommend Roca Construction without any hesitation. We will definitely be hiring them again for future projects."

"Went great.  Person came out.  I walked them through locations of foundation cracks and 3 window wells that would fill with water and seep in through window seals as there was no drain in wells.  Price was fair and the team that came out and did the work did so in a professional manner.  Chipping out concrete is never clean but they were careful to cover up items in the basement and ensured that they cleaned up both the interior and exterior sites that they worked on.  They put rubber membrane and re-tarred several water intrusion locations as a part of the service - from the outside of the building.  The basement is dry and I haven't seen any evidence of moisture since they completed the work.  This is a necessity if anyone is thinking of finishing an area like this in their house.

"Very well - and I already plan to have Dan & his assistant return for additional work. I purchase a Big Deal in December 2013 for 3 hours of handyman work. Because the jobs were all exterior tasks (garage is detached & unheated), we delayed til spring - but, due to virtual uneneding winter and almost no spring, the work was postponed until June. When one e-mail mentioned that they usually do handyman work only when they are slow, I looked at the website and discovered that J.G. Humphrey is actually a general contractor, which opened up a whole new set of possibilities for me.
My only negative was that a date for the handyman work was set for a late afternoon and, even though I confirmed with Dan on that morning, he called me 3 hrs. beforehand to cancel/reschedule. On the new date (7/12/14), he arrived only a few minutes late and he and his assistant were professional and friendly. The garage area was quickly cleaned out, then the old porch screening was removed. They removed and properly stored hundreds of old staples and hammered in some of the other staples. They properly installed the new rolls of screening as I requested (although their electric stapler was not working, so they used my manual stapler, along with the staples that I supplied which were longer than the ones that Dan had brought).
The side with the screen door needs complete frame replacement (and new screening); Dan measured and took pictures and is to e-mail me a formal estimate. He also walked through my house and we discussed various other potential jobs, particularly in my kitchen, where I am satisfied that he had a good grasp of what I wanted on a shoestring budget and that he can accommodate me. It wasn't until after they left that I realized that they had worked for ~2 hours - which is a total of 4 "man" hours; I had only paid for 3 hours and Dan did not ask for any additional payment.
Other than scheduling difficulties, it was a pleasure to deal with Dan and I have a positive feeling about future projects.

FAQs for egress window installation projects in Princeton, NJ

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.
