Why Install an Egress Window in Edison?

Many Edison homes have basements that could become bedrooms or living space, but lack a proper egress window. Without one, the room doesn't meet code for sleeping areas. We install windows that meet IRC requirements—minimum 5.7 sq ft opening, no more than 44 inches from the floor. We also dig the window well and add drainage to keep water out.

What We Do for Your Egress Window

  • Cut concrete foundation wall and install a steel lintel for support
  • Install a casement or sliding window that meets egress size requirements
  • Excavate and install a window well with gravel base and drain pipe
  • Seal all penetrations and backfill with proper compaction

Why Work with Home Concepts Construction

FAQ

Basement Egress Window in Edison - common questions

How much does an egress window cost in Edison?

Cost depends on foundation type, window size, and soil conditions. We give a detailed quote after an in-home consultation.

How long does installation take?

Most installations take 2 to 3 days. Concrete cutting and window well excavation are done on day one, window and finishing on day two.

Will I need a permit?

Yes. Edison requires a building permit for egress window installation. We handle the permit process and schedule inspections.

Can I live in the house during installation?

Yes. The work is contained to the basement exterior wall. There will be noise from concrete cutting and excavation, but the rest of the house is unaffected.
