Are egress windows grandfathered?

• <div><p>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. </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: How long does it take to install a window well?

• <div><p>Most professionals can install a window well in two to three days, depending on the size of the well and the window you want inside it. If you&rsquo;re just replacing an existing window well, the work is much less intensive, and most experts can get the job done in just one day. Connecting the window well to a drainage system or installing a custom concrete window well will naturally take longer, but even the most complicated installations shouldn&rsquo;t take more than three days.</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: Do egress windows open in or out?

• <div><p>Most modern egress windows installed in basements open outward into a window well, although some older homes have in-swing windows. Egress windows, like casement windows used in other parts of the home, such as bedrooms and bathrooms, may open inward, and these windows are often larger than outward-opening windows. </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.
