    The process of putting in a bedroom started with needing an egress window. I had 3 companies come out and give me a bid. All 3 were about the same price. All 3 companies had good reviews. Toby came out last. The first thing he said while looking at where we wanted it was, You need to move the gas line. The other 2 didnt say anything about it. This is why we used Direct Egress & Construction. Toby paid attention to fine details. Because of the gas line, we had to have Mid American come out, survey the property, give a quote, and schedule their crew to move it. While waiting, I asked Toby if they did small windows also. He came out and measured them and gave me a quote. Once I gave them the go-ahead, they put in the egress in a few hours. The other 4 took a few days because of bad weather and not having the amount of windows we wanted. With all the rain we had, nothing leaked, the ground around the egress settled, they filled in with some more dirt.

    Great experience - professional crew and fantastic results. We had a full egress and a small 2x2 window installed. Turned a dark basement into a well lit bedroom. I’d recommend Toby and his team for any project you want done well, and on-time.

    Fantastic and quick service all around. I cannot recommend this company enough. Toby was quick to reply with a fair quote and the crew was nothing but professional during the entire construction process.

    Toby gave me a fair estimate and was very helpful in explaining the process to install an egress window. Crew members: Josh, Jason, Caleb, and Aron were all very friendly. They answered all of my questions and provided additional information, which was very helpful. Crew members respected my wish to wear masks indoors. They made sure I was satisfied before they left. Based on my experience to get an egress window installed, I have no problem recommending this crew. Great job!

    I would most definitely recommend them for egress window installation!! The quote was extremely reasonable. They did a fantastic job installing the window. The crew was very respectful. I live in Burlington, and Im very appreciative that they were willing to travel this far!

    So impressed with the product and service of Direct Egress. This was a big project for us that required a lot of saving but the end result was well worth the money. The workers were very professional, polite, and respectful of our property. Would hire again without a doubt.

    Very easy to work with. Toby answered all our questions. Window wells look great. Will definitely recommend to others

  • Review 12 (2020-10-20 - Rating: 5)

    We had window wells that deteriorated so bad that there were holes in the metal. We have also had problems with water coming into the basement through the windows. In the year of Covid-19 I have had a terrible time getting businesses to call me back, obtaining estimates and getting the job done. Not a problem with Direct Egress!! I called to get an estimate. Toby came out the next day. He gave me an estimate on the spot. The crew (5 men) came out 3 weeks later and got the job done and cleaned up in less than 3 hours. They were all very helpful and answered all our questions. All I can say is Excellent!!

    I’m a stickler when it comes to work performed at my house as I am capable of most repairs. My expectations were exceeded by the four guys that came to install my egress window. Professional, knowledgeable and quality work from start to finish. I highly recommend Toby and his crew.

  • Review 14 (2021-07-19 - Rating: 5)

    They were quick, lowest quote, very professional & they responded quickly to all my questions. Did everything they said & went above & beyond their workmanship & attention to detail. Ill hire them again & shared their # to few of my friends that may install one. Great job!

    I cant speak highly enough about this company. They installed an egress window in our basement. The consultation, installation, and follow-up were all done thoroughly and we were impressed with the quality of the finished product. The employees were professional, punctual, and incredibly nice.

    Direct Egress installed an egress well and window. They were polite and courteous at every step. From the first phone call to installation it only took two weeks. I passed inspection the following day! Thank you Toby, Josh and the whole crew!

    We LOVE our Deck. About 5 years ago you enlarged our deck with the virtually maintenance free decking. We have had to do nothing other that dust/mop it off on occasion. Maintenance Free is the way to go, no prepping, no staining.

    Quick, professional and neat installation of a residential basement egress window.Very polite service, no extra mess, even made sure my house plants were safe and left no mess behind inside.

  • Review 23 (2018-12-10 - Rating: 5)

    I wish there was a option to give this company and owner Toby a gazzillion stars....Toby came to my house to evaluate a deck job that was half done. I called him because I felt in my heart I was being taken advantage of by this man that I had hired. Sure enough.... Toby uncovered SEVERAL code violations and deemed my deck as unsafe and incorrectly being built. The most shocking I think is when he told me that the holes that were dug with the studs sitting in them were rooting because he never put concrete in the holes and they had been just sitting in water because of all the rain in the last few months.Anyway... I wanted to take some time to write a review. This man is LITERALLY a GOD send ... Not only did he get someone to fix everything right away so it’s safe for the winter to be able to walk on. (He will be building the rest next spring) but he had to purchase more material and hardware that wasn’t in the bid/quote that he gave me for the correction cause they uncovered more that was wrong. Toby knew my financial situation and said to not worry about paying for that until I am comfortable and can.Who does that? Seriously? I’ll tell you who... Toby does, that’s who. I cannot begin to tell all of you how kind, fair and honest this man has been for my husband and I.I am currently suing the man that did the previous work and Toby is even helping me with that. He has sent me all the pics with descriptions of each one indicating what the code violation is. And he is drawing up a blue print draft of what WAS suppose to be done to take to court with me.After going through this situation I have learned you just can’t trust most folks. I was literally beside myself and couldn’t believe how I got taken advantage of. So much so that I remember siyting across the table from Toby on our first meeting with my guards up as high as I could put them. I was so scared to be taken advantage of again. But my heart was telling me “this guy genuinely wants to help me” and I’m glad I listened to it cause he has been nothing short of wonderful. I adore the guy. I hope someday I can afford to do something special for him cause he had made it to my list of angels that I have run into thus far in life....Forever grateful-Rosie

  • Review 27 (2024-04-05 - Rating: 5)

    Toby is so professional in his work and with clients. He explained what needed to be done in response to our problem with, and in between, 2 egress window wells; and then did what he said he’d do, and the work was excellent. Value far exceeds the cost! He will always be the one we call for our townhome community!
