He is awesome!! Believe me you will be happy when he is done"
"The company was prompt to come to Enid to give an estimate and schedule the project. The estimate cost was accurate. The project was started on time. The installation and quality of the work was outstanding. They matched the texturing on the ceiling very well. The paint did not correctly match the ceiling (fault of the paint store?). The sun tunnel had a light kit that did not arrive with the sun tunnel. The company was delayed coming back to repaint and install the light kit. Perhaps it is because they are a young company, have such an excellent product and do an outstanding installation that they are very busy. They did repaint the ceiling and install the light kit. I am very pleased with the completed project. I would use Skylights Unlimited again."
Basements are generally required to have windows for your safety. At a minimum, windows should provide an egress in the event of a fire. But basement windows do more than offer a way out; basement windows also offer natural light and ventilation in an area of your home that is otherwise dark and musty.
Yes, egress windows can significantly add value to a home. By making basement and attic areas safer and more livable, they allow you to market these spaces as finished living areas, which increases your property's value. Many homeowners can recover the full installation cost, with some sources citing a return on investment of around 70%. The exact value added depends on your specific home, location, and adherence to local building codes. Beyond financial value, egress windows enhance functionality by adding natural light and comfort. They are also a crucial safety feature, often mandated by building codes to serve as an emergency exit.
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.
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.
Depending on size, material, and labor, two windows can cost between $600 and $1,600.
