Basement egress,
thought through.
Compare the opening, the operating window, and the exterior route together. Start with the solution your home needs.
The Egress Pros difference
The sash opens inward.
The well stays clear.
Our window approach opens into the home, keeping the sash out of the exterior well. Inside, your room plan should preserve space to approach and operate the window.
A useful assessment connects the foundation, window, well, cover, access features, and water-management plan. The written estimate defines the installation and the restoration you expect.

Let’s talk egress.
What is an egress window?
An operable opening intended for emergency escape and rescue access. A below-grade installation usually combines the window with a well and access features. The full route needs to work together.
Why do your windows open inward?
The inward-opening approach keeps the sash from occupying the exterior well. Leave enough room inside for full operation and a clear approach. Ask to operate the selected model before finalizing the room layout.
Do I need a New Jersey permit?
Discuss new or enlarged foundation openings and the complete alteration scope with the relevant construction office before work begins. Agree application and inspection responsibilities in the written scope.
Does the window make my basement a legal bedroom?
The opening is one component. The full intended use, overall room plan, building type, and applicable approval requirements also need review. Installation alone does not authorize a bedroom or apartment.
Is a ladder included?
Confirm the access components needed for the proposed well and applicable requirements. The written estimate should identify ladders or steps, handholds, cover or grate, and their operating sequence.
