Egress Windows FAQs, answered by experts

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.

An egress window is similar to a regular window. However, this type of window opens fully to allow people to escape the home or rescue personnel to enter the home if an emergency occurs. Egress windows are required in all finished basements before they can be considered a living space.

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

Expect excavation below grade, creating a well for access, weatherproofing, and thorough inspections during setup.

New window installation costs range from $300 to $1,500 per window, depending on size, material, and energy efficiency features.
