Adding a basement egress window doesn’t have to be complicated. We’ve simplified the process into two straightforward parts: initial permitting, and construction. 

• Part 1: Permitting (Typical Timeline: 2-4 Weeks)
  • In-Home Consultation: We start with an in-person visit to thoroughly understand your needs and assess the proposed work area.
  • Information Gathering: We’ll collect essential details, including photos of the project site and precise measurements.
  • Permit Drawings & Documentation: Our team will expertly draft all necessary construction drawings and prepare the required documents for your permit application.
  • Permit Submission: We manage the entire permit submission process with your local municipality.
  • Utility Marking: We schedule a professional utility locating service (“Julie”) to clearly mark any underground lines on your property, ensuring safety and preventing disruptions.
  • Construction Authorization: Once the permit is officially assigned, we’re ready to move on to the construction phase.
• Part 2: Construction (Typical Timeline: 2-3 Days)
  • Worksite Preparation: We begin by carefully preparing the work area, including any necessary demolition and implementing protective measures to minimize dust and debris.
  • Excavation: We’ll excavate the area to expose the foundation where the egress window will be installed.
  • Foundation Cut: Using precise measurements, we’ll cut the opening in your foundation.
  • Installation: We expertly install a new window frame, a durable window well, and your chosen new window.
  • Drainage Connection: We ensure proper drainage by connecting the new window well drain to your existing drain tile system.
  • Backfilling: We backfill the excavated area, leaving your yard tidy and ready.
