"Denny recommended coating the walls with epoxy to seal the blocks and also an E•Z Breathe® Air Ventilation System. He and his coworker did a fine job, even going out of the way to coat the wall behind the oil tank. Due to the new ventilation system, we've already seen an improvement in the air quality in our home and notice that the basement smells fresh now. And we no longer have to run a dehumidifier! We'll certainly call them again if any further work is needed."

"The gentleman I hired is working independently of the firm. However, they are aware of the job and recommended he take it. The man is professional, thorough, does excellent work, and made recommendations to me as well as offering his professional advice. He has many years experience and related to me the type of work he has done. I was contacted the same day I reached out, and the next day, most of the work was done."

Egress Windows questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Because egress windows are meant for emergency exiting and entering, they need to be an accessible size. The smallest an egress window is allowed to be is 15 inches in width and height, with an opening of around 4 square feet.
