Factors Affecting Egress Window Installation Cost

The exact basement egress window cost will vary depending on a number of factors. Here are some of the factors affecting egress window installation cost:

Window Cost: Egress window installation cost depends on several factors. One such important factor is the cost of the window. Egress windows come in different styles like casement, sliding, double-hung windows, etc. Each window has its own unique features and functionality. Based on their features and functionality, the window costs vary. For example, a casement window can cost from $300 to $700. On the other hand, a sliding window can cost from $400 to $800.
Materials: The type of material used in the windows also matters. An egress window comes in different materials like vinyl, wood, aluminum, and fiberglass. Among these materials, vinyl is the most budget-friendly while wood and fiberglass tend to be more expensive.
Window Size: Window size affects the overall cost of egress window installation as well. If you need a large-sized window, the cost of materials and labor increases. This will increase the overall cost of the window installation. On the other hand, if you require a small-sized egress window, the overall cost of the window installation may decrease.
Labor Costs: Egress window installation requires professional labor. The labor costs depend on the complexity of the installation and any additional services required for proper installation. For example, if you are looking to install an egress window below ground level, the area around the window has to be excavated. The excavation requires more labor and material, which will add to the overall cost of the egress window installation. The cost of excavating could be anywhere from $1,500 to $3,000.
Permits: Permits also play a vital role in determining the overall cost of window installation. The egress window has to meet certain requirements mandated by the local authorities. If they are met, the authorities will issue the permits to install the window. To get the permits, you have to pay somewhere around $50 to $200.
Additional Features: Egress windows sometimes require additional features such as window wells and window covers. The window wells and covers can cost $300 and $50 to $150 respectively.

Putting all this together, the total cost of egress window installation can be anywhere between $2,000 to $5,000.

Dale and the guys did a fantastic job. We had a significant wall lean, and they made the repair look easy. They walked us through the permit and inspection processes. Their work is quality, and they are easy to work with. Highly recommended.

My experience with Cornerstone was a few years ago. I had a sump pump completely replaced, an entire basement wall braced and an outside (garage) wall piered. I have not had a problem since the work was done. The workers and the owner, Dale, were at my home when they said they would be. I am pleased with the work that was done and found Dale to be a man of his word. I would not hesitate to recommend Cornerstone.

We were getting ready to close on our house and 1 week before closing a heavy rain came and we had water in our laundry room in the basement. Dale and his crew came out the next day and got started on fixing the issue. They were fantastic and very detailed in explaining what they were going to do. Had it done in their time frame and cleaned everything up. Very professional and excellent service.

Quality work from quality folks. I called on a Friday afternoon to get a quote for poly jacking our sidewalk. They came out on a Saturday morning to take a look and got us on their schedule. Quite happy with how the fix looks as well!

After the huge flood, we had July 26, 2022. I finally decided I’d had enough with the flooding issue and contracted Cornerstone Structural Repair & Waterproofing to knock out my sliding glass door in my basement and cement the opening to form a solid concrete barrier. I am very satisfied with the end results!! Dale and his workers did a great job, very respectful of the property, very friendly and professional, and cleaned up after the work was completed. It has already come in handy after 27 years of dealing with flooding in my basement and replacing numerous appliances. I can be at peace now not having to worry every time we have a torrential downpour. Please see attached photos of the 2022 flood and the flood event this year in April. Kudos to Dale and his team!!!! 😁
