Do egress windows add value to your home?

• <div><p>Egress windows can significantly add value to your home. Adding an egress window allows you to market your basement as a living space, increasing your home’s value. In most cases, the increase in value will allow you to fully recover the installation cost, if not more, when it comes time to sell. </p></div>

What questions should I ask when hiring a pro to install egress windows?

• <div><p>Here are a few questions to ask a egress window contractor you’re considering hiring to install a new window:</p><ul><li><p>Are you licensed and insured?</p></li><li><p>What experience do you have installing egress windows?</p></li><li><p>How long will the project take?</p></li><li><p>How do you handle payment?</p></li><li><p>Do you do the work yourself or do you hire subcontractors?</p></li><li><p>Can I talk to some of your previous customers?</p></li><li><p>Do you have references and a portfolio of your work?</p></li><li><p>What is your schedule for getting the job done?</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Are egress windows required?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Do I need a permit to add a window to my house?

• <div><p>Yes, you absolutely need a permit to add a window to your house. Your contractor can likely obtain this permit on your behalf. Ask about this when getting quotes from multiple window contractors.</p></div>

Q: How long does window installation typically take?

• <div><p>Typically, window installation takes 1-2 hours each, though this can stretch with custom sizes or complex window types.</p></div>

Beautifully! We have had Jon cleaning our gutters since 2010. He always does an excellent job, including clean-up. This is the first time we also had him do the exterior of our windows. They sparkle! He is one of the most dependable service providers we have had. I highly recommend him.

Windows are scratched from their attempt to remove spots. They must have used a really sharp tool to do so. I have not yet called them but will do so tomorrow. Not at all happy with that part of the service.
