An egress window is a window large enough to provide emergency escape and access, typically required in finished basements with bedrooms. It’s a safety feature that also brings in natural light and adds value to your home.

If you’re planning to use your basement as a bedroom or living space, most local building codes—including in Edwardsville—require at least one egress window for safety and code compliance.

Most installations are completed in just 2 to 3 days, depending on soil conditions, foundation type, and weather.
