Basement Egress Window

What This Service Involves

Any basement bedroom or legal living space in Washington requires an egress window for safe exit. We excavate the window well, cut the foundation opening, and install a properly sized window and drainage. The well is built to shed water and prevent pooling in our rainy climate. Beyond safety, the added daylight transforms the feel of the space.
