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: What are the 5 types of windows?

• <div><p>There are more than five window types, but five of the most popular types include casement windows, sliding windows, double-hung windows, picture windows, and awning windows. Each style offers something different. Some are great for ventilation, others for letting in light, and some can do a bit of both. For kitchens, specifically, it helps to think about how often you&rsquo;ll open the window, how easy it is to clean, and whether it fits well in the space you have.</p></div>

Q: How deep do you install a window well?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Can you make an existing window bigger?

• <div><p>Yes, you can always make an existing window bigger, but the job complexity varies widely depending on the location of the window and the framing around it. Exterior walls are always load-bearing, so making windows wider will require structural changes that make for a more complex but doable project. Making windows taller often won&rsquo;t require structural changes.</p></div>

Q: Can you add a bay window to an existing house?

• <div><p>Yes, you can install a bay window in an existing house. You&rsquo;ll need to have a structural engineer draw up plans to add the necessary support to your exterior load-bearing walls and a general contractor to make the changes to the framing around the new wall opening. This will cost an average of $3,000. After that work is done, a window installer can set the new bay window in place. </p></div>

We had all of our windows replaced and are thrilled with the results. The installation team was professional and tidy, and the new windows look beautiful. We can already feel the difference inside the house.
