"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.

"I would get water in my basement after heavy rains. I interviewed 4 companies for the installation of a sump pump. I chose Basements Love Us because I was impressed with their sales person, who was informative and educational. He was also willing to answer every question I asked down to smallest detail. The crew that came to my home were polite and professional. They were on time, and very organized. The job was done in a timely manner and my home was left clean as if they had never been here. I would recommend Basements Love Us to anyone. They should be commended on their work and work ethics!"

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.

The entire window replacement process, from the initial consultation to the final installation, typically takes between four and 15 weeks. This timeline accounts for measuring appointments, ordering, and manufacturing. On the day of the job, the physical installation takes about 30 minutes to two hours per window. A full-house replacement can take one to three days to complete. Factors that can extend this timeline include the total number of windows, custom sizes, complex window types, second-story installations, and any necessary repairs to existing window frames or openings.

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’t require structural changes.

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.

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.
