"It went great. Other merchants couldn't locate the wheels to replace the broken ones on our shutters. But Chad Goldstein did so. His service was great. He arrived on time, finished all work diligently and efficiently, and the final bill was lower than any of the other vendors I contacted for estimates. All shutters now work perfectly! Chad worked to complete our job, even though it was raining. Very polite, friendly. I will use him for all my future shutter repair and cleaning. He really stands out!!"

Egress Windows questions, answered by experts

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.

Because egress windows are meant for emergency exiting and entering, they need to be an accessible size. The smallest an egress window is allowed to be is 15 inches in width and height, with an opening of around 4 square feet.

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.

DIY is possible for experienced individuals. Professional installation ensures compliance with building codes and proper sealing.

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.
