"Got an education in painting advancements on how to cool and save energy with paint alone on the exterior of a house. Most interesting and ideal for stable businesses looking for long term solutions. However, for a rental house, their price does not meet my immediate needs. Salespersons were great."

Egress Windows questions, answered by experts

The proper way to install a window well is to measure the window, dig a hole deeper and wider than the window, place a drainage tube and cap, anchor the well to the foundation, caulk the seam, and backfill the hole. The job requires tools such as a hammer drill and auger and some heavy digging. Proper placement and window well installation are critical to preventing water from leaking into the window.

Yes, egress windows are grandfathered. However, this comes with some specifications. If you are remodeling a basement or adding a sleeping area, you’ll need to update the egress windows to be up to proper code. But, if you’re leaving your home as is, you do not have to adhere to these requirements.

You install a window well 8 to 12 inches deeper than the base of the window sill. After filling the well with drainage rock, the well should sit 3 inches below the bottom of the window. The top of the window well should also be at least 3 inches higher than the surface-grade ground. The window well should be about 6 inches wider than the window opening.

They meet local code demands for escape routes, lighten basements, and aid in reducing overall humidity.

Expect excavation below grade, creating a well for access, weatherproofing, and thorough inspections during setup.
