Window Installation
At some point of time in a windows life-cycle a replacement window becomes a viable and less expensive alternative to retaining the old one. Installing replacement windows or a new window installation is easy if you know the rough size of the window. You can get this from the manufacturer and the size is usually a few inches more than the size of the old window itself. But this does not apply if you’re planning to install a new window installation and the window is an egress window.
Egress windows allow you to exit your home in the case of an emergency like a fire. It needs to be big enough for firemen to come in and get out, and you need to adhere to building codes when you install an egress window. For instance, if you’re planning to turn your basement into a bedroom, you will need to replace the old window with a much larger egress window. Having to widen or heighten your basement window space to install the new egress window can be an added expense when it involves the safety of your family; but, it’s wiser not to scrimp.
Your basement window installation could cost you anywhere between 2000-3000 dollars if you seek the help of a Chicago, IL area professional. You can make a substantial cost saving if you do it on your own, but a basement window installation on your own can be tough work.
