Q: What are the benefits of an egress window?

• <div><p>Egress windows provide emergency exits, increase natural light, and improve basement ventilation.</p></div>

Q: What is the smallest egress window allowed?

• <div><p>Because egress windows are meant for emergency exiting and entering, they need to be an accessible size. The smallest an egress window is allowed to be is 15 inches in width and height, with an opening of around 4 square feet. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take to enlarge a window?

• <div><p>Most professionals can enlarge a window in five to 10 hours, depending on the window location, the exterior wall material, how easy it is to cut through it, and how much buildback you&rsquo;ll need after the installation is complete. However, more complex projects can take two to three days from start to finish.</p></div>

Q: What elements influence the pricing of window installations?

• <div><p>Costs depend on window type, frame material, labor, and whether custom sizing is required.</p></div>
