    Code Compliant

    Every install meets New York State Residential Code for emergency egress.

    Full Excavation

    We handle the dig, the well, and proper backfill — no separate excavator to hire.

    Waterproof Sealed

    Flashed openings, sloped wells, and gravel drains keep the basement bone-dry.

    Permit Handled

    We pull the permit and coordinate the inspection so the install is signed off.

    FAQ

    Egress Windows FAQs

    Yes — we pull the permit and coordinate the inspection so the install is fully compliant.

    Most egress installs are completed in 2–4 days from excavation to interior finish, weather permitting. Larger or harder-soil sites may take a day longer.

    No — every well includes a properly sloped gravel drain bed tied into a drainage system, the rough opening is fully flashed and waterproofed, and the well caps shed snow and rain. Done right, an egress well stays dry.

    Yes. New York State code requires a compliant emergency escape opening in every below-grade bedroom. Without one, the room legally can't be advertised as a bedroom and won't pass inspection at resale.
