Egress window replacements involve removing the existing window and installing a new, code-compliant unit designed for emergency escape. The process includes excavation, opening the foundation wall, framing, installing the window, and finishing with appropriate sealing and trim. The entire replacement typically takes between one and three days, depending on the complexity and scope of the project.
Hiring a professional ensures the window is correctly installed to meet safety standards and building codes. Proper installation guarantees the window's structural integrity, waterproofing, and ease of use during emergencies. Professionals also handle permits and inspections, which are often required for code compliance. This reduces the risk of future issues and ensures the safety of all basement occupants.
