"Alex was very quick to come all the way up from Delaware on a Sat morning to give us a quote. He really knows his stuff and did an excellent job. 3 catch basins, regrading, topsoil,seeding, french drain. Corrected some previous work we had done by someone else a couple years ago.He had some great advice and ideas for us. Lawn has never been drier! We had a pond in the backyard every time it rained. What a relief!"

"Worthington Basement Health Systems did an extremely professional and high quality job on the egress window and EZ-Breathe Ventilation System. The quality of their work is impressive and the window makes my basement bright and safe. The ventilation system has taken the musty smell away and I actually want to spend time in my basement. I highly recommend them for your basement needs."

"We have a pretty old house that hasn't had much work done to the basement. He gave me an honest assessment of what was going on, and the level of work needed, but it was pretty obvious to me that he didn't want the job, either. I got a little education out of it, but he never sent me an estimate and never contacted me again after leaving.

Egress Windows questions, answered by experts

The cost to install a bow window can range from $1,500 to $15,000, with a national average of $3,900. The total price includes materials, which can cost between $1,200 and over $14,000, and labor, which typically adds $300 to $1,900. Several factors influence the final cost, including the window's size and frame material. For example, vinyl frames are the most budget-friendly option, while wood frames are more expensive. Custom features or energy-efficient upgrades will also increase the price. For comparison, a bay window installation typically costs between $1,000 and $7,000.

Egress windows are typically required for basements with habitable space or living quarters. Not all basements or lower levels require egress windows. However, egress windows are required in homes with living spaces such as bedrooms and living rooms in a basement. The International Residential Code and International Building Code require sleeping rooms to have a specific size egress window. Check your local building codes to confirm the requirements in your area.

Yes, egress windows can significantly add value to a home. By making basement and attic areas safer and more livable, they allow you to market these spaces as finished living areas, which increases your property's value. Many homeowners can recover the full installation cost, with some sources citing a return on investment of around 70%. The exact value added depends on your specific home, location, and adherence to local building codes. Beyond financial value, egress windows enhance functionality by adding natural light and comfort. They are also a crucial safety feature, often mandated by building codes to serve as an emergency exit.

If improperly installed, an egress window can compromise your foundation’s structural integrity, so it’s important to work with a pro to ensure your foundation remains in good shape. Any money you may save on a DIY egress window installation may cost you in the long run if your foundation is damaged in the process.

Basements are generally required to have windows for your safety. At a minimum, windows should provide an egress in the event of a fire. But basement windows do more than offer a way out; basement windows also offer natural light and ventilation in an area of your home that is otherwise dark and musty.
