An out-of-code basement egress window can lead to failed inspections, legal liabilities, fines, insurance issues, and resale complications—in other words, it’ll cost you a lot more than any savings you might incur from choosing a cheaper contractor to begin with.
Our Egress Window Installation Process
As experienced basement egress window installation contractors, we have a proven approach that ensures everything goes smoothly for our customers.
Overview for egress window installation
First, we assess the site and obtain all necessary permits and materials.
If needed, we’ll excavate the exterior of your basement and ensure proper drainage.
We take measures to minimize dust and debris.
Then, we’ll cut an opening in the basement wall, adding reinforcements as necessary and sealing exposed areas to prevent moisture issues.
Next, we frame the opening, install the window, and apply flashing and sealants.
If the sill height is below grade (ground level), we’ll install a window well.
Then, we’ll insulate, trim, and test the window for functionality and safety.
Lastly, we’ll do a final inspection, check the punch list, and clean up after ourselves, making sure the exterior and interior of your basement looks even better than before.
