"<p>We purchased windows and it took 8 weeks to get the windows. When they came to install them, they were WRONG. Not only were they the wrong type (pocket versus new construction) they were the cheaper ones when we had paid for the more expensive ones. They argued with us and told us they were right, when we could see the sticker on the window and had our copy of the contract. We had to stop our home from being sided in the middle of all of this. Their answer is, you will have to wait 2 more weeks for the windows to come in. The owner contacted us to review the issues and said she would work with us to get this resolved.</p> <p><br /></p>"

"It was really fast. I expected a day's work but it only took them a couple hours. Given the materials and how long it took to install it, it seems like the price was rather high."

"My dad used Marty for his house and recommended him to me as well. Two folks came out and did the estimate. I told them because of my money on hand I didn't want to do all the windows at that time, but would rather do the front side first, which was a large window in the living room and two bedrooms. The windows were specially ordered and custom-made per the measurements and he arrived 10 days later to install them. I noticed it appeared that there were a couple too many windows in the back of his truck, so I asked him about that. He said it was enough windows for all the house. I reminded him that I didn't want ALL the windows done, just the front. He insisted that I said I did want them. I let it go at that and figured we'd come to some resolution before this was over. <br> <br> <br>This is the part where things COULD have gotten sticky, but it all worked out. We talked about it and he said I'd probably just have to cover part of the cost. I didn't like that idea, but I didn't want him to have to eat the cost since they were custom made. We came up with a solution where I'd pay for the two extra windows (kitchen and one bedroom) at cost, which seemed fair and happened to be affordable for us. It only added an additional $600 to the overall cost, bringing it to $3600, which I thought was more than reasonable to outfit an entire 1000 sq ft house with new (Viewpoint) casement windows with high ratings. He said if I was fine with that I could just install them later on. He worked by himself that first day and almost got everything done, but had to come back a second day to finish. On day 2 he finished quickly and then prior to leaving for another job he helped me install the bedroom windows, showing me how to do it for later on. With that knowledge I was able to install the kitchen window with absolutely no problems. <br> <br>The quality of the work was great, however I would guess that MOST people aren't as lenient as I am on things like this. Experiences may vary but overall I'm pleased because Pella was going to be $8,000!!!!"

"7 new columns were installed including new footings. This is very physical labor and very taxing on the body: hammering old concrete, hand digging footings, properly installing new footings, this was a lot of dirt, rock and cement going in and out of the basement, yet the crew (Justin, Francisco, Brandon) always maintained a great attitude and worked continuously. The guys were very polite and professional. They were accommodating and answered all my questions. We ran into a few oddities and Justin was able to modify and resolve with a few phone calls to the engineers. We were able to raise the house up 1/4" to 5/8", before we stopped due to plaster starting to crack. We now feel comfortable continuing restoration of this wonderful 100 year old home, onto the next 100 years!!"

FAQs for egress window installation projects in Watkins, IA

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.
