Egress Window Installation in Kitchener & Waterloo

Turn a basement room into a legal bedroom

Ontario's building code requires an egress window in every basement bedroom, and it is the one detail that decides whether a finished basement, in-law suite or additional residential unit passes inspection. We handle the whole job in-house — permit, excavation, cutting the concrete foundation, new header and framing, the window and well, drainage, backfill and the interior finishing — so the room is safe, bright and legal when we leave. After 16 years in Kitchener-Waterloo you get honest pricing, a tidy site and a 5 year written warranty on our workmanship.
