Egress Windows
Code-compliant emergency exit windows that flood basements with natural light.
Every basement bedroom needs a safe way out — and egress windows deliver that peace of mind while flooding your lower level with natural light. Required by the IRC for any sleeping room, a properly installed egress window transforms a dark, non-conforming basement room into a legally counted bedroom that adds real value to your home. BaseScape handles the full scope — structural cutting, engineered window wells, waterproof flashing, and all permits and inspections — so you get code compliance, safety, and a brighter home in as little as two days.
Your Questions, Answered
Structural Safety
Engineered window wells and reinforced headers maintain foundation integrity. Every installation includes a structural assessment.
Code Compliance
IRC 2021 compliant: minimum 5.7 sq ft opening, 44-inch max sill height, 20-inch minimum width. We handle permits and inspections.
Drainage & Moisture
Window well drains, covers, and waterproof flashing prevent water intrusion. Proper drainage is built into every installation.
Dust & Disruption
Egress window installations typically complete in 2-3 days. Our containment system minimizes dust and disruption to your home.
Cost & Affordability
Egress windows typically cost $3,000-$8,000 per window including the well. A fraction of the cost of a walkout with significant safety and value benefits.
Aesthetics
Modern egress windows with premium wells add curb appeal and flood basements with natural light, making rooms feel open and inviting.
Timeline
Most egress window installations complete in 2-3 days per window. Multi-window projects typically finish within a week.
