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.

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.

Egress windows can significantly add value to your home. Adding an egress window allows you to market your basement as a living space, increasing your home’s value. In most cases, the increase in value will allow you to fully recover the installation cost, if not more, when it comes time to sell.

Options include double-hung, casement, and sliding windows. Materials include wood, vinyl, and aluminum.
