Egress windows & window wells
Turning a basement room into a bedroom? Code requires a proper egress window so occupants can get out, and firefighters can get in during an emergency. We install egress windows and wells that meet the requirements and let a lot more daylight into your basement.

Common questions
Does my basement bedroom really need an egress window?+
If a room is used for sleeping, code requires an egress window or door so people can escape and be rescued in an emergency. This is necessary to legally count a room as a bedroom when you sell or rent.
Will an egress window make my basement brighter?+
Yes. Egress windows are larger than typical basement windows, so beyond the safety requirement they bring in noticeably more natural light and make the space feel far more livable.
Do you handle the permit?+
Yes. We do engineering, pull the permit, build to code, and coordinate the inspection so your finished basement is fully compliant.
How long does an install take?+
Depending on project complexity, access and site conditions, most single egress window and well installs are completed in a few days once permits are approved. We'll give you a clear timeline with your quote.
