What are the requirements for an egress window to be considered code-compliant?

To meet modern building codes and ensure firefighter access, your egress window must have a 5.7 square foot daylight opening. We focus on delivering these precise, code-ready solutions to keep your family safe and your property value protected.

What areas do you serve for egress window installations?

We proudly serve homeowners across Southeast Idaho and parts of Wyoming, including Pocatello, Idaho Falls, Blackfoot, American Falls, Chubbuck, Lava Hot Springs, McCammon, and Jackson, WY.

Do you handle the excavation and digging for the new window well?

No, the homeowner is responsible for the excavation and digging of the window well hole. We do not perform or arrange any earth-moving services, nor do we repair old or rusted window wells. However, our team does handle the window and standard metal well installation to ensure everything is code-ready.

What kind of materials and windows do you use for your installations?

We use only premium, high-quality products like Pella and Coeur d’Alene windows, which are available in vinyl, fiberglass, or wood-clad styles to suit the local climate. As a Pella Certified Contractor, we also prioritize indoor air quality and health by using Quad Max non-toxic caulking for our installations.

What does the installation process look like, and is there a warranty?

The process begins with a free, in-person project consultation to assess your basement and determine the ideal window location. From there, we mark the concrete for precise cutting, schedule trusted local subcontractors for the concrete work, and complete the seamless installation of the window and well. We also back every egress window installation with a clear 1-year labor warranty to protect your investment.
