Basement Egress Window · Montclair, NJ
Add a legal bedroom or safe exit with a properly installed egress window. We handle the full process from cut to finish.
Montclair homes often have basements that could become livable space with the right egress window. A code-compliant egress window provides a secondary exit in an emergency and allows natural light into the basement. Whether you're finishing the basement or adding a bedroom, an egress window is a practical upgrade that adds value and safety.
