Tim and his team installed an egress window to my home in two days flat - the disruption to our home minimal and the end result is fantastic. Adding an 'official' fourth bedroom not only makes us all safer, but also increases the value of our home. They were even able to start the job a little bit ahead of schedule, which was great!
Egress Windows.
Done Right.
In a Single Day.
One Thing. Done Right.
We don't do remodeling. We don't do kitchens. We install egress windows and that's it. That's why we're faster, cleaner, and dialed in on code compliance every single time.
One Day On Your Property.
Most installs are finished in a single day. We dig, cut, install the window, set the well, backfill, and clean up before we leave.
One Price. No Games.
Same price for everyone. No padded list prices. No high-pressure negotiation. $200 holds your spot and the balance is due when the job is done.
Same yard. Better basement.

The kind of window that doesn't look like a basement window anymore.
Does Your Basement Window Meet Code?
Five numbers. Thirty seconds. We'll tell you if your window passes and what to do if it doesn't.
How high is the bottom of the window from the basement floor?
Measure from the floor to the bottom edge of the window opening.
We hand dig every well.
We don't bring heavy equipment into your yard. Every window well we install is dug by hand. That means no torn-up lawn, no machine ruts, and no mess to clean up after.
Hand digging also lets us work in tight spots where machines can't fit, which gives you more flexibility on where your window goes. If you want the dirt hauled off, we can do that for a fee. As long as it stays on your property, we'll put it wherever you want it, whether that is grading, filling in low spots, or building a berm.

From your call to a finished window.

GHR Contracting installed an egress window for me, and I couldn't be happier with the results! Tim and his crew are very professional and courteous. The install day was 100+ degrees outside, but no one complained- they came in and got the job done all in one day, and it is PERFECT! I elected to have them haul away the dirt and finish the drywall/patch inside, so all I had to do was paint. Absolutely thrilled with the results. If you are in the market for an egress window, you will not be disappointed with GHR.
Tim absolutely knocked this out of the park! Extremely easy to contact and work with. He was very quick and efficient. His crew left the place looking better than they found it. The install looks amazing. High quality work for a very reasonable price. Thanks again Tim! Absolutely would use again and highly recommend.
