Egress Windows questions, answered by experts

A good U-factor for windows is 0.30 or lower, but they can range from 0.20 to 1.20. A general rule of thumb when it comes to the U-factor is that the lower, the better.

Yes, you can always make an existing window bigger, but the job complexity varies widely depending on the location of the window and the framing around it. Exterior walls are always load-bearing, so making windows wider will require structural changes that make for a more complex but doable project. Making windows taller often won’t require structural changes.

When planning egress window installation, costs can vary due to factors like window type, materials, labor, permits, and structural engineer consultations. The average price typically falls between $2,500 to $5,300 or more, depending on location. Considering these aspects is crucial to budget for the project and ensure compliance with local regulations. Obtaining multiple quotes and professional guidance is recommended to comprehensively understand expenses related to egress window installation in your area.

Egress windows are typically required for basements with habitable space or living quarters. Not all basements or lower levels require egress windows. However, egress windows are required in homes with living spaces such as bedrooms and living rooms in a basement. The International Residential Code and International Building Code require sleeping rooms to have a specific size egress window. Check your local building codes to confirm the requirements in your area.

Here are a few questions to ask a egress window contractor you’re considering hiring to install a new window:

  • Are you licensed and insured?

  • What experience do you have installing egress windows?

  • How long will the project take?

  • How do you handle payment?

  • Do you do the work yourself or do you hire subcontractors?

  • Can I talk to some of your previous customers?

  • Do you have references and a portfolio of your work?

  • What is your schedule for getting the job done?
