Safe exits, clear communication, tidy job sites

Egress Window Installation in Rockford and Nearby Communities

An egress window adds a safe exit, natural light, and resale value to a basement. Our team handles everything—permit assistance, layout, concrete or block cutting, structural framing, excavation, window well, drainage, ladder/cover, and interior finishing—to meet local code. We explain options in plain language, share photo updates, protect landscaping, and leave the space clean when we’re done.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon can you assess my basement for an egress window?

We aim to visit within two business days. If you include a couple photos and rough measurements with your request, we can triage even faster.

Do you handle permits and code compliance?

Yes. We follow the locally adopted IRC and municipality requirements, help with permits, and size the window/well to meet clear-opening and sill-height rules.

How long does installation take and how disruptive is it?

Most projects finish in 1–2 days once permits are issued. Cutting is controlled with dust collection, work areas are contained, and we haul away debris.

What about water management around the well?

We install graded base, drain stone, and a drain line to daylight or sump when needed, then backfill and regrade so water sheds away from the wall.You receive the manufacturer’s warranty on the window/well components plus our written workmanship warranty; we review both at your walkthrough.

Which window styles are egress-rated?

Casement is the most common because it provides a large clear opening; sliders can work when sized correctly. We’ll recommend what fits your wall and code.

What warranties are available?

You receive the manufacturer’s warranty on the window/well components plus our written workmanship warranty; we review both at your walkthrough.
