Get matched with top egress window pros in Benoit, MS

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.

Here are a few questions to ask a egress window contractor you’re considering hiring to install a new window:

• Are you licensed and insured?

• What experience do you have installing egress windows?

• How long will the project take?

• How do you handle payment?

• Do you do the work yourself or do you hire subcontractors?

• Can I talk to some of your previous customers?

• Do you have references and a portfolio of your work?

• What is your schedule for getting the job done?

There are more than five window types, but five of the most popular types include casement windows, sliding windows, double-hung windows, picture windows, and awning windows. Each style offers something different. Some are great for ventilation, others for letting in light, and some can do a bit of both. For kitchens, specifically, it helps to think about how often you’ll open the window, how easy it is to clean, and whether it fits well in the space you have.

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