"Alex was excellent. He responded immediately, always answered the phone when I called, went out of his way to see me after hours on my schedule to get me an estimate, gave me a price well below the competitors. His team worked very quickly and efficiently, and we're working literally every moment they were on the property; lunch breaks were staggered so work was always happening. They did great work, cleaned up well, and solved my problem. They were 100% "can do" and I would recommend them again. I even offered to be a reference. Alex is a great project manager!"

"Professional! Timely! They were the only contractor, whose estimator got out his ladder, got to the specific areas of concern, took pictures to show me and actually found a couple of small issues to add to the list. Plus upon signing the contract, I received a call the same day for them to come and complete the work. Would recommend them highly!!"

"Great experience working with Frank and his crew at Basement Waterproofing, Etc.  Frank installed an egress window along with a crock and sump pump.  It was not an easy install to say the least due to the root system of a 10 ft shrub that needed to be removed.  Frank and his team were relentless and made it happen.  All quality materials used (Zoeller pump and Wellcraft egress system).   To quote the building inspector, "The contractor did a good job and did all the right things."  Great light coming in and safe basement for the kids.  Thank you!

Egress Windows questions, answered by experts

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’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’t take more than three days.

Yes, egress windows must meet local building codes for size and accessibility. Professional installers ensure compliance.

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.

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, 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.
