"Nick and his crew were very prompt and great communicators. We had a deck replaced that had been there for a long time with a new, composite based deck. Nick took his time, offered his suggestions and even pointed out other areas that needed attention while he was going through the rebuild, saving us time, money and hassle further down the road. The Pinzone Group guys were always prompt, did what they said they were going to do, and were very reasonable with their costs. Nick listened and was very flexible when we suggested or requested non-standard items (like different color balusters, railing gate, etc...). Can't wait to do more business with them! Thank you guys!"

Egress Windows questions, answered by experts

Expect excavation below grade, creating a well for access, weatherproofing, and thorough inspections during setup.

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.

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.

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.

There are a range of egress window types available, including:

  • Single-hung: $100–$400

  • Double-hung: $250–$500

  • Horizontal/sliding: $150–$800

  • Casement: $200–$500

  • In-swing: $350–$700

When choosing a type of egress window, consider how you’d like to open it. For example, double-hung egress windows open from top to bottom and let plenty of fresh air in, whereas sliding windows slide open for easy access.
