"Leo was very helpful and quick to respond. We’re happy with how our 2 bathrooms turned out. Project was completed within the time promised. Our only complaint is that the workers did not clean up very well. But overall, we’re satisfied and we’ll use them again."

"The reason I chose Alta Sierra after getting 3 estimates and making several phone calls, was that Chris was the only one who offered vinyl covering for wooden window frames. One guy wanted to cut the sill and put a vinyl frame, several guys flat out said "we won't touch wooden sills." Chris removed all rotted wood, patched it with new wood, then covered the window frame with vinyl. The windows look like new original windows. Chris was very well informed on the window codes for my house and very helpful with what styles to choose. Very tidy and very hard working."

"Overall, I was very pleased with the professionalism, courteousness and services performed by Cielo Construction. They showed us the windows, took some measurements and gave us a very generous estimate. They were also very transparent with the steps involved and even took care of acquiring the permits necessary to begin work. I would use Cielo Construction again for any home project."

"Their quoting service was really good and the installers were nice. They explained what they were going to do and did not make a mess when they came in. They cleaned up and took us around and showed us what they had done after they installed. What was nice was that we were having our bathroom tiled at the same time and they kind of worked with the tile setters to make sure they put the window in first so they could put tile up to it. It was all finished in one day and they were really good. I liked the price.  "

Egress Windows questions, answered by experts

There are a range of egress window types available, including:

  • Single-hung: $100–$400

  • Double-hung: $250–$500

  • Horizontal/sliding: $150–$800

  • Casement: $200–$500

  • In-swing: $350–$700

When choosing a type of egress window, consider how you’d like to open it. For example, double-hung egress windows open from top to bottom and let plenty of fresh air in, whereas sliding windows slide open for easy access.  

The average cost to install an egress window is approximately $3,900, with a typical range between $2,500 and $5,300, though costs can be higher. The final price is influenced by several factors, including the window's size, type, material, and glass quality. Other variables include labor costs, location, excavation needs, and whether permits or a structural engineer consultation are required. The price of the window itself often depends on the number of panes:

  • Single-pane: $100–$400

  • Double-pane: $200–$500

  • Triple-pane: $300–$800

Additional features like window wells or covers will also increase the total project cost. It is advisable to obtain multiple quotes from professionals to get a comprehensive understanding of the expenses for your specific project.

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.

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.

To find and hire a reputable contractor for an egress window installation, you should first research local professionals and then vet your top candidates. Start by searching for local contractors who specialize in this type of work, read their customer reviews, and examine their website and portfolio. Once you have a shortlist, contact them to ask key questions: Are you licensed and insured? What is your specific experience installing egress windows? Can you provide references from previous customers? Do you perform the work yourself or use subcontractors? What is the estimated project timeline and your current schedule? How do you handle payment?
