"This was the biggest home project that I have ever hired contractors for.  I'm a do-it-yourselfer but with 3 kids and running my own business I just didn't have the time to take on this project.  For years we had wanted this room done but had put it off mainly because of our reluctance to work with contractors after having heard so many horror stories. 

I must say that I'm happy to report that this entire project went very smooth and in the end the room looked even better than I had hope for.  The company owner, John, was very easy to work with and listened to all of my ideas, questions, and concerns.  His workers were friendly, quiet, and cleaned up after themselves.  Since the room posed a bit of a challenge because of the brick surface and the unorthodox windows that were already in place they included me in several brainstorming discussions throughout the project to make sure that I agreed with the approach that they were taking.  They didn't just assume that they knew what I wanted. 

In the end there were no surprises and I was very pleased.  I went into this process very apprehensive about working with contractors but after working with Home Solutions all I can think of is what do I want them to work on next.  I recommend them highly."

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, 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.

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?

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

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.
