Safe, Comfortable Lower-Level Living Space
Our Basement Egress services provide a blend of enhanced safety, compliance, and aesthetic improvement, transforming your basement into a brighter, safer, and more usable space.
Light & Bright
A dimly lit basement can often feel unwelcoming and underutilized. By installing a well-placed egress window, we bring natural light and fresh air into your space, making it brighter, more open, and inviting. Egress windows not only illuminate your basement with soothing light, but also help create a more comfortable and enjoyable environment. And bulkhead stairwells create convenient backyard walkout access, perfect for turning the space into an everyday living area.
- Emergency Exit: A safe, secondary escape route for your family.
- Exit for All: Accessible to children, for the safety of everyone.
- Emergency Access: First-responder entry for rescue operations.
Safety/Escape
The safety of your family is our top priority. In the event of an emergency, a basement egress window provides a crucial second escape route, potentially saving lives. Our egress windows and stairwells include the safety features to ensure a safe exit path for family members and rescue personnel. This peace of mind, combined with the durability and beauty of our well systems, helps ensure your basement remains a secure, compliant, and welcoming area.
- Natural Light: Reduces the need for artificial lighting during the day.

- Part of the Home: Egress stairs create easy backyard access.

Why Install an Egress Window in Your Basement?
Installing an egress window in your basement boosts safety, adds natural light, and improves ventilation, transforming your space into a more livable and comfortable area. It also increases your home’s value, ensures compliance with building codes, and creates opportunities for extra living or rental space. Whether for safety or to enhance your home’s appeal, an egress window is a smart investment that pays off in functionality and peace of mind.

Increased Home Value: Egress windows add functionality and appeal, making your home more attractive to buyers.
Legal Living Space: Turn your basement into a bedroom, office, or recreation room, officially expanding your usable square footage.
Meets Building Codes: Installing an egress window ensures that your basement meets local safety and building code requirements, especially if you're converting it into a habitable space.
Prevents Fines: Ensuring compliance with egress window regulations help you avoid potential fines for non-compliance, espeically if you decide to sell or rent the space in the future.
Rental Income If you plan to rent out your basement as an independent living space (e.g., a basement apratment or in-law suite), an egress window is often a legal requirement. Installing one opens the possibility of generating rental income, which can be a great way to maximize the return on your property.

Waterproofing & Egress
Pairing your basement waterproofing project with egress installation can save you significant time, money and hassle. It also ensures a more seamless, efficient transformation of your basement all at once.
Safety
Incorporating an egress window into your waterproofing plan not only prepares your basement for future finishing but also helps you meet building codes while providing natural light, better ventilation, and a safer emergency exit.
Drainage
A critical consideration during egress window installation is moisture prevention. Proper drainage systems installed during waterproofing prevent surface water from pooling and leaking into your basement – to maintain a dry, functional, and comfortable living space.
Convenience
With the enhanced protection against moisture, the improved safety and aesthetics that an egress window or basement walkout offers, you’ll create a brighter, more inviting, and better-protected space.
