What About Egress Windows

THE BDry® SYSTEM

What does it cost for a basement egress window installation?

The cost to install an egress window varies depending on several factors. These factors include the type and size of the window, the type and size of the egress well, the obstacles that must be overcome to properly install the window, and the amount of finishing work that is desired after installation. Our typical budget basement egress window installation is typically around $5000. Our premium egress window installation and custom window installations are higher. We do offer a no cost, no pressure quote so feel free to contact us and we will provide you a firm quote based on your particular situation.

Will adding an egress window increase the value of my home?

No one can give you a definitive answer to this question other than a buyer, but typical sellers have found the addition of a bedroom, which requires two points of egress (door and window) and a closet to meet code for a bedroom, often adds $10,000 to $18,000 dollars to the value of a home. We recommend asking your real estate agent to estimate the increase in value of your home by adding an additional bedroom and the additional square footage of living space created by the egress window.

Can B-Dry install an egress window above grade?

Yes, we have installed numerous above grade egress windows. There have also been several instances where we were able to lower the grade at an egress window installation so that an egress well was not required.

What Are the benefits?

An egress window is an entry or exit point for your basement. When installed correctly, it serves as a safe escape route in case of a fire when other exits may be blocked. The window must be large enough for an adult to pass through. Many basements have only one egress option—the stairs leading to the first floor—posing a serious safety hazard for anyone inside during a fire. A well-installed egress window offers an additional escape route for basement occupants. In addition to enhancing your family’s safety, adding an egress window to your basement offers several other benefits, including increasing your home’s value. A basement room without an egress window cannot be classified as a bedroom when selling your home. By installing an egress window, you can legally designate the basement as a finished bedroom. 

A closed, four-panel window with frosted glass featuring a geometric pattern, set in a yellow wall with a white and stone frame—this window installation adds both privacy and style to your space.
