"We used Thayer Construction for a complete renovation of our offices/restrooms at our distribution warehouse. It was a large project (5 offices and 4 restrooms) that required a lot of planning and communication. They were very responsive, honest and polite throughout the entire process. I would not hesitate to recommend them for any projects - big or small!"

"Mark and his team were great! This was a very small job (less than $500), that others were not interested in doing. He came and met with me about the job and made recommendations for materials. Once they came in, he picked them up, and had the job completed in 1 day within a week of the arrival of the cabinets. He cared about the details, making sure everything was level and secure. He and his crew were personable and professional, and they cleaned up afterwards. I am hoping to hire him for another larger job. Great quality, great experience! Thanks Mark!"

Egress Windows questions, answered by experts

Finding a reputable contractor for an egress window installation involves researching and vetting potential candidates. Start by searching for local professionals, reading customer reviews, and checking their websites for a portfolio of their work.

Once you have a shortlist, ask the following questions to ensure they are qualified:

• Are you licensed and insured?

• What experience do you have installing egress windows?

• Can you provide references from previous customers?

• Do you perform the work yourself or use subcontractors?

• What is the estimated project timeline and your current schedule?

• How do you handle payment?

You install a window well 8 to 12 inches deeper than the base of the window sill. After filling the well with drainage rock, the well should sit 3 inches below the bottom of the window. The top of the window well should also be at least 3 inches higher than the surface-grade ground. The window well should be about 6 inches wider than the window opening.

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.

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.

The cost of window installation depends on several factors, including the window type, size, and frame material. Labor rates, the need for custom sizing, and any required structural modifications will also influence the final price.
