After getting 4 estimates, I decided to go with JDS. The price was great, and the window was top quality. JDS installed 2 egress windows in my basement. Jordan worked with my schedule to get the windows install as quickly as possible. Nick and the guys worked hard to get the job done in a timely fashion.

Excellent contractor! I got 3 estimates to have an egress window installed and JDS was the least expensive and the most knowledgeable and thorough. They use high quality materials and do quality work. Every employee I interfaced with was very friendly and accommodating. I would hire them again without hesitation.
Rob Poole

JDS is excellent in every regard - highly recommended! We needed a basement egress window and Jordan + the team did a wonderful job on every stage of the process (pricing, planning and scheduling, construction, inspection and cleanup). We're very satisfied and look forward to working with them again!

We hired JDS to install an egress window in our basement. It's been about 18 months since the work was finished and I am highly satisfied. This egress has held up strong to wind, rain, snow, and children. The staff was friendly and professional, they even answered all of my kids’ questions in between breaks digging up the area for the egress. The owner is very direct and non-aggressive about giving you options for the work. I was particularly impressed by how they exceeded my expectations for some outside drainage, which has held up better than the one my landscaper installed. Their site cleanup was stellar. It's hard to understate how stress free the experience was. If you've ever had a bad contractor, you know what I mean, unanswered calls, jobs half done, nothing but attitude. These guys are a dream to deal with, and I have referred them to others in the area. I would absolutely do business with them again. Cutting a hole into the side of your house is stressful, but I have no regrets trusting them to do the job.

Trying to find an egress window installer was difficult and when I called JDS, I immediately received a call back. The estimate provided was done virtually which as an interesting experience however it was spot on. The installer assigned to my project was "Nick" and he was professional, considerate, and skilled in his profession. The installation was done right next to where my power, gas and water lines all come into the house. Nick was careful to avoid those areas and I am sure that in and of itself made the job a bit more tedious. Follow-up was also outstanding. Even after I paid for the service a few days later I received a text from Jordan thanking me for my payment and inquiring with me if I was happy with the workmanship. I am definitely with the quality of work and would recommend JDS to anyone who is looking to install an egress window. Based on their professionalism and workmanship I would utilize them for other projects around my house.

We hired JDS to install an egress window replacing a small single pane basement window with a 33" x 48" performance double pane window. This is a very nice European style tilt/turn window, where with a quarter turn of the handle the entire window opens for maximum ventilation (or egress in an emergency). Another quarter turn has only the top of the window tilting in, providing secure ventilation while not letting any rain in.

They arrived as a team with all the right gear to cut out the concrete, and then a master craftsman did all the work. Josh did a most excellent job! Would definitely recommend JDS.
Mike Molnar

JDS Home Improvement was extraordinary! Not only was the end product of very high quality, but the entire process was top notch. Jordan was a joy to work with. He is dedicated and knows the business extremely well. The work itself was done with extreme precision and exactness. There was such respect for our personal property. Dirt and debris were handled so well, kept to a minimum, and the work site was kept very neat. All members of the company were great to work with. They are consummate professionals. I most highly recommend them. I had looked at other companies, and none could do this job as well as JDS.
Terri Cornelison

Jordan installed brand new hardware floors in my house and painting 3 bedrooms. I am very pleased with the work he has done. He was very involved with making sure everything done was the way I wanted it. He always ran things by me to make sure I was happy. The finished product was absolutely beautiful, and I would recommend him to anyone needing his services.
Suzette Powell

JDS installed a basement egress window for us last year and did an outstanding job. Nick handled most of the project and was very courteous and professional. They even came back to add more dirt when there was settling. Highly recommended!
Stephanie Park

We contacted JDS for an estimate to install two egress windows in our rancher home. Jordan was knowledgeable and brought information and video to show us and explain the process. His crew was experienced and hard working through the installation. We were happy with the outcome, and by adding the two egress windows, it made our home safer, and added so much more natural light into our downstairs living space.
Gender Drowsky

JDS installed a very large egress window in my basement. I wanted some additional light and an “escape route” in the event of a fire. Jordan was very helpful in the planning phase and gave me a quote that was reasonable and accurate. The JDS team always arrived on time and completed the work quickly and efficiently. I assumed that having them cut a big whole in my foundation would create a lot of dust and a big mess, but I was wrong. They walled off the area with thick plastic and I had no dust and no dirt on my carpet at all. I don’t remember his name but the man who did much of the work was one of the hardest working people I have ever observed. My whole family commented on his work ethic. A few weeks after the job was completed, the ground settled a bit and there was some minor sinking of the dirt around the window well. I called Jordon and he told me that was really typical, and he sent somebody out the next day with some fill dirt that fixed the area. Great customer service! Basically, I was really pleased with the work and would use JDS again without hesitation. It’s 2 years later and my large basement window has completely changed the basement space and made it an area that gets sunlight and fresh air! But most importantly, after countless rain and snowstorms, not a drop of moisture in the window well or surrounding area. My egress window is exactly what I hoped it would be!
Donna Miller

JDS Home Improvement does an excellent job providing quality basement egress windows. Their team is positive and trustworthy, and they do excellent work. I am very happy with my decision to move forward with the egress window project as they did a fantastic job. I will definitely be referring JDS home Improvement to anyone in need of an egress window project!!
Josiah Jones

The JDS team installed two egress windows, waterproofed the exterior and added a sump pump to prevent any future issues. The team was very timely and very professional. They even came back two weeks later to add more soil due to settling. Will definitely use them again.
Dan Johnson

We needed an egress window for our basement to add value to our property. Jordan came out gave use a proposal and started the work. His crew knew exactly what to do and completed the installation on time. All work was professional and clean. The window looks great.
Dagnija Kreslins

I hired JDS to install a walk-up stair well from basement and cut a hole in the foundation wall and installed an exterior door. I am so glad I hired them and would recommend JDS for this kind of work. Thank you so much Jordan and his crews.
Bo Jiang

I couldn't be happier with my egress window installation! So glad I chose JDS. They did my basement egress window and were finished way sooner than I thought. Josh, Nick, and Jordan were so polite, professional, and hard-working. If you’re in search to get an egress window or other home improvements I cannot recommend this team enough!
Bethany Jones

Recently contracted JDS for egress window in a basement my company is finishing. Excellent job completed in 1 day. I will be using JDS again for my egress windows/doors . Highly recommend.
Tyrone Gordon

JDS did a marvelous job for us. He was flexible and easy to work with. He gave us creative alternatives to meet our requirements. He was a pleasure to work with. His workmanship was excellent.
Yaar Lefko

We couldn't not be happier with JDS. We hired them to put in an egress window and finish a room in our basement. The quote we got from JDS for the egress window was very competitive, and the quote for the basement was extremely competitive. The quality of work was excellent. It was done in a timely manner. And the owner and his employees were delightful to work with. We will very likely hire them again.
Andrew Glendening

Our experience with JDS was one of the best experiences we’ve had with a contractor. We had two egress windows put in and couldn’t be happier. These guys are the experts. They know what they’re doing, they explain the process and listen to the client’s needs, the product they carry is top quality, they don’t try to oversell, they’re perfectionists in their work and they are professional in all respects. Go nowhere else!
Mike

JDS was great to deal with. They put up dust curtains inside the house to minimize the mess of cutting through the foundation wall. Everything was cleaned up well when finished. I would work with these guys again without hesitation.
Donald Ebaugh

They delivered a quality product efficiently and at a reasonable price. We were almost swindled by another egress window company and JDS cleaned up the mess they started and installed a great window and well in our basement.
Steven Glossop

We had a minor emergency that required us to replace two small basement windows with egress windows in short order. Jordan came by for an estimate next day and actually managed to squeeze us in the following week. His crew were always courteous and very professional, and they did a great job of containing the work zone (so no debris or dust got around) and cleaning up. Even things I told them I'd take care of they went out of their way to clean. Their drywall and framing work was similarly fantastic. Only thing to note is that they don't generally paint the finished walls, though Jordan offered to do so for a fee if I wanted. Worked fast, good price, great people. I'd hire them again in a heartbeat.
Michael Sheer

The egress window was installed promptly, a little ahead of schedule, and great care was taken not to disrupt our household. Installation was very well done, and each element of installation was completed as promised with no surprises or hidden costs.
Marc Musser

Jordan (owner) along with his brother Josh did an outstanding job installing our egress window system. They finished the job in a very timely manner keeping our property clean as well. Would Highly recommend JDS! Also, the Wital Egress Window they installed is excellent! - looks and works Great.
Brandon Thompson

I had an egress window installed as well as a front door replacement a few weeks ago. I was very impressed with not only the high quality of work, but with the JDS team and their professionalism and friendliness! Nick and Josh, particularly, great guys! I've had quite a different experience with home improvement companies in the past. No complaints with JDS! 5 stars. Erik Rose

Nice and hardworking guys. Arrived early and worked late to get the egress windows installed quickly. They blocked off the area in my basement, so I had no mess throughout. Thoroughly vacuumed afterwards.

Knocked on door in the morning to let us know they arrived, would be leaving for lunch and when leaving for the day. Also asked how it looked throughout the process. Communication was great and that is usually not common with most construction companies that we have used in the past.

In addition, Brandon was SOOO thorough and walked me through the whole process, sent me YouTube videos and pictures of different examples. If the rest of their staff is as awesome as Josh, Nick and Brandon - this company is going to move mountains, already recommending them to others.
Nicole Stan

JDS provided a reasonable price for our window installation. The job was very professionally done in a timely manner, and we are very happy with the result.
Dennis Shaffer

I was sold after I watched the YouTube videos, but to then see it done in real life was the icing on the cake. Those guys work rain or shine too, impressive!
Jonny Noy

The price for an egress window and regular small basement window was the best quote out there from JDS. Communication was slow with knowing if permit came though after 1.5 months but once found out the building date was quick. Every team member was professional and knowledgeable on the process. The two windows was put in about 4 days. Finish project looked good and sealed correctly. They definitely know what they are doing and clean up well afterwards.
Cynthia Jarvi

I got a basement egress window for a good price and the craftsmanship was superb.
Nonya Biznass

JDS Home Improvement completed a timely, professional, and skilled installation of my upstairs hardwood floors.
Rex Powell

JDS Home Improvement did an expert job installing two egress windows in our basement in Rockville. We chose JDS because they specialize in egress windows and clearly explained the process. We were concerned about drainage and JDS designed and installed a solution to ensure we wouldn't encounter water problems. The finished project exceeded all of our expectations within a reasonable time frame and cost.
Wayne Breslyn (Dr. B.)

Josh and Jordan were wonderful to work with. Our area way turned out lovely. We are thrilled!
Billie Paskoski

Jordan always goes above and beyond to ensure the customer is satisfied. The quality of workmanship and the attention to detail are incomparable. I have used JDS several times and will go to no one else. Highly recommended.
Jeffrey Reinsch

I would give 10 stars if I could!!!! If you are looking to put in an egress window (which you absolutely should) YOU NEED to hire JDS! Jordan and Josh are absolutely amazing! They are extremely professional and such GOOD people. We could not be more thrilled with our end results. Josh even mulched for us!!!! If you don’t want headaches or worries, you need to hire them. I am extremely frugal and try to find the BEST deals, however JDS is worth every single penny. We cannot believe the amount of sunlight our egress window brings in and the window absolutely looks beautiful!!! Thank you Jordan, Josh and the rest of the crew!!!!
YoonHee Son

We just had Jordan and his team at JDS Home Improvement install two egress windows. Jordan, Josh, and Nick were superlative. As a military member, I am used to evaluating programs based on cost, schedule, and performance. They were outstanding for all three. Cost: We got four estimates and they were the least expensive by nearly $5,000. Jordan took a lot of time to answer our questions and tailor the options.

The other larger companies were okay at best. Schedule: They finished a week later than planned, but that was due to some additions we requested and not their fault. Performance: The windows look and function great. Additionally, they cleaned up, put down straw, and were very courteous contractors. Highly recommended!
Jeff Plaisance

JDS installed a basement egress window with a sump pump, and a fan in a basement bathroom. We are very pleased with their work and would recommend them. From the start Jordan was thorough in explaining what the work entailed, and prompt in providing a detailed estimate and responding to our questions. The team was on time, professional, courteous, explained each step as the work progressed, cleaned up after they were finished, and honored the estimate provided. Very nice and hard-working team! We will certainly call them for future projects.
Caroline Adams

We contracted JDS Home Improvement for an oversized egress window project recently. Our window was a 54x60 and it is such a beauty to behold! The team was very professional from beginning to end and they really worked with our budget for the project. It took them about 4 days to complete the project which, in our opinion, was ahead of schedule (we had estimated one week).
Gender Drowsky

Josh is such a hard worker! Every day I came home from work, I would find him putting in some finishing touches to the day's work. He is, hands down, the hardest contractor I've ever encountered since owning a home. I would recommend JDS Home Improvement without reservation for anyone considering an egress window for their basement. The quality of their work and craftsmanship is unbeatable. Thank you again guys! We look forward to working with you on the completion of our basement.
Itunuade Olusola

I'm extremely glad that we used JDS for our egress window installation. I don't think anybody else could have pulled it off under the conditions imposed by Baltimore City, and I'm grateful that they stuck with us throughout the ordeal. Jordan and his team were an absolute pleasure to work with, from start to finish. My schedule allowed very little time to focus on the work, and they made it easy to handle remotely. We were delighted with the quality of the outcome - the window looks great!
Elisabeth Smela

Working with Jordan and Josh of JDS Home Improvement to plan and install an egress window in my home was an absolute pleasure. I'm 47 and am not exaggerating when I say I've not worked with a better contractor, ever. From the initial contact, to options, estimates, right through to completion, everything was handled with care and professionalism. Their craftsmanship was uniformly excellent, and they took care of absolutely all my concerns and needs, coming up with creative solutions to problems I had with drainage and a second basement window. They also were totally accommodating when it came to some last-minute additions that I decided on. I want to emphasize the breadth and depth of skills and expertise that JDS brings to the table. They are fully capable of handling every aspect involved in egress window installation and well beyond. That includes wonderful carpentry and finish work. The walls of my basement were left needing only paint to be totally complete. That level of expertise gave me great peace of mind throughout the work. Even more impressive was the pride and joy that was exhibited in doing excellent work. I recommend JDS, Jordan and Josh without hesitation. I will certainly return to them when I next have work to be done. Update: Following the work described above, we returned to JDS for another extensive project. This involved custom design and building of a deck that would not block the egress window, repairs to a rotten outer band, new exterior stairs, a new sliding glass door, a new front door, new exterior electrical outlets, and replacement of all windows in the house. Once again it was a great pleasure to work with Jordan and Josh and the work was extraordinary with such remarkable attention to detail and quality (everything from materials to the exact fit and balance of the new front door) The results were fantastic, and we've spent many hours enjoying the beautiful new deck. I really can't recommend JDS highly enough!
Mike Potter

JDS did an incredible job with my kitchen renovation and window replacement. The quality of work was superb, and they took the time to listen to my needs. I had several quotes but chose JDS because of the low-pressure approach and the great suggestions they offered. They completed the job in a timely manner. Highly recommend.
Arif Osmani

Jordan installed a basement window egress for a client and did a wonderful job! He was very pleasant to work with, and was professional, responsive, and efficient. I would highly recommend him!
Leigh Breckinridge

If you want to do an egress window these are the go-to guys. They were great to work with from beginning to end.
D. Gerstenblith

Can't thank Jordan and his team enough. They handled everything from egress window installations to a flooring install in my basement. On-time, on-budget, and just incredibly easy to work with from start to finish.
Andrew Zettler

Jordan and his team have done a great job for us on our recent renovation. They were priced right, and the job came out fantastic!
Jamey Charapp

Jordan and his crew are TOP NOTCH! They were amazing to work with. I reached out to JDS Home Improvement after dealing with a previous contractor that had totally botched my egress window install. Jordan came out and went through, in detail, every aspect of a proper egress installs and explained what he does above that. Him and his team worked with the current situation, and over delivered! They were very efficient, had excellent customer service, and held to the timeline and budget. They even responded 7 months later after the soil around the well had settled to regrade with no questions. I would hire JDS home improvement again and again and highly recommend them for any egress window needs!
Jawara Ephraim

JDS has done several jobs for me. They are very professional, both in workmanship and ability to get the job done in a timely manner. I will definitely have them do future work for me.
Ace Wilkins

I have called upon JDS Home Improvement several times over the years for various projects. Jordan and his crew are professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and punctual; and Jordan has always given a very fair price for the projects.
