Great Escapes Egress Construction
Great Escape Egress
Great Escape Egress is the innovation of Paul Kruse, a Denver Colorado native with a passion for Egress windows. He has specialized in every aspect of Egress installation for over 9 years and has over 17 years experience in other skilled trades. Many companies that claim to be Egress experts were not even in existence 10 years ago and quite a few others are no longer in business leaving Paul as an unparalleled Egress expert in the Denver area.
When asked, the hardest and most rewarding job for Paul was a job where the homeowner was converting a crawl space into a basement. It was one of the most technically difficult jobs due to a floating wall supported only with a interior sister wall and the need to hand dig the basement and use temporary piers to shore the foundation to ensure the home wasn't harmed in the process. However, when all was said and done, a very special little girl had a bedroom to call her own.
The mission of Great Escape Egress is to bring value to the community, provide impeccable service to the homeowner and most importantly increase the safety of the entire family. Paul loves working with his hands and helping someone's dream become a reality and therefore, his company is committed to prompt communication for on-schedule and on-budget project delivery. So that there are no surprises for you.
Everyone knows that the Colorado climate can be unpredictable at best, but Great Escape Egress operates year-around with the same efficient service in both winter and summer. The complete beginning to end service includes all details from permits to utility locations to being on-site for final inspection because we care about respecting your property throughout the job.
