"All I have say is EGRESS PROS is the best of the best. If you need an egress window, look no further..Egress Pros are the champions! Their Sales Team is top notch, patient, and knowledgeable. Ryan and Ron came to the house on multiple occasions to answer all my questions, give me Ideas and recommendations for the project and put my mind at ease with the concerns I had, all with no pressure to sign with them. When I finally pulled the trigger on the project, Egress Pros sent, what I consider their best... Carlos! CARLOS IS THE MAN! Carlos arrived exactly on time with the crew. He walked around and explained what he was planning on doing to knock out the job. Carlos literally built a self-enclosed workspace for himself inside the house. When he told me the job was done i couldn't believe my eyes. The installation quality was unbelievable, and Carlos didn't leave a spec of dirt inside and out. One of the big concerns I had was how the finish on the inside would look, but Carlos is a real pro and built such a nice pocket and framed out the window perfectly. It looks like the house came with that window. He is that good. I hope the bosses at Egress Pros take care of him in the same way he took care of me. i wish i could give more than 5 Stars!"

Egress Windows questions, answered by experts

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.

Most modern egress windows installed in basements open outward into a window well, although some older homes have in-swing windows. Egress windows, like casement windows used in other parts of the home, such as bedrooms and bathrooms, may open inward, and these windows are often larger than outward-opening windows.

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.

The proper way to install a window well is to measure the window, dig a hole deeper and wider than the window, place a drainage tube and cap, anchor the well to the foundation, caulk the seam, and backfill the hole. The job requires tools such as a hammer drill and auger and some heavy digging. Proper placement and window well installation are critical to preventing water from leaking into the window.

Yes, egress windows are grandfathered. However, this comes with some specifications. If you are remodeling a basement or adding a sleeping area, you’ll need to update the egress windows to be up to proper code. But, if you’re leaving your home as is, you do not have to adhere to these requirements.
