"Gidawe Drywall was an incredible team! David and his crew did amazing work, finished ahead of schedule, even with the added work I asked them to do. They are reliable and extremely trustworthy. I was a customer that wasn’t able to be onsite with the team while they worked, I granted them access to my home while I was away and had absolutely no issues. They were very caring of our space, diligent to take care of their area and very thorough with clean up. After they completed the project I asked them to look at another possible project while they were there only because they were so professional and did such quality work. You can tell David and his team take pride in what they do, I highly recommend anyone to hire them for any job you need done!"

Egress Windows FAQs, 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.

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.

A good U-factor for windows is 0.30 or lower, but they can range from 0.20 to 1.20. A general rule of thumb when it comes to the U-factor is that the lower, the better.

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

Egress windows require regular maintenance to ensure they function correctly. This includes cleaning the glass, inspecting the frame and well for debris, and making sure the cover or well drains properly. It is also important to check that the window sills and wells are watertight and to inspect and repair any damage to the window frame or seals to prevent leaks and maintain functionality.
