RAC Engineering PC was created to provide home owners and others with an affordable engineering option with down to earth personnel that communicate in every day language so you will understand the complexities of construction projects and to help you understand why building codes are required for your safety

"Avoid this company. Completely unprofessional and unreliable. We hired them to complete an addition on our home. We paid half up front, continually reached out and waited multiple weeks between each communication. When they would finally respond, their drawings did not include the features we asked for, and our feedback was not considered in future drawings. We couldn't even get them to respond when we wanted to terminate the contract. We eventually had to pay the remaining balance to avoid them placing a lien on our home. DO NOT hire this company!"

Egress Windows questions, 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 absolutely need a permit to add a window to your house. Your contractor can likely obtain this permit on your behalf. Ask about this when getting quotes from multiple window contractors.

Yes, you can install a bay window in an existing house. You’ll need to have a structural engineer draw up plans to add the necessary support to your exterior load-bearing walls and a general contractor to make the changes to the framing around the new wall opening. This will cost an average of $3,000. After that work is done, a window installer can set the new bay window in place.

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.

Installing two windows typically takes 2-4 hours, depending on accessibility and preparation.
