Egress windows aren’t just a home upgrade—they’re a lifeline.
If your basement includes a bedroom or living space, building codes require a properly sized egress window. Not just for legality—but for something far more important: a safe way out in an emergency, and a way in for rescue.
In the event of a fire, egress windows are specifically designed so firefighters—fully equipped with gear—can quickly access your home, reach your family, and get everyone out safely… including pets.
Without a properly installed egress window, that access can be delayed or impossible—turning a dangerous situation into a devastating one.
And here’s the problem:
Not all egress windows are installed correctly.
Improper sizing, poorly built window wells, or missed code requirements don’t just risk failed inspections—they compromise the very reason these windows exist in the first place.
That’s where we come in.
At The Egress Window Company, we don’t cut corners or guess our way through installs. Every project is completed to meet all local and state building codes—ensuring your home is not only compliant, but truly safe when it matters most.
Because when seconds count,
your home needs an exit—and a way in.
Why Egress Windows Matter
Our Story
The Egress Window Company was built on hard work, real-life experience, and a determination to do things the right way. Troy began in remodeling in 1991, learning early that families needed craftsmanship they could trust and solutions they could afford. Mary joined the business in 2004, and together they became a licensed contractor team in 2007 — combining design, sales, project management, and expert installation.
When the recession slowed large remodels, they recognized that homeowners still needed safe, legal living space, and Troy began specializing in egress windows. What started with a shovel and relentless work ethic has grown into a trusted, family-owned company backed by decades of hands-on building knowledge.
HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
2009 — We started at a time when there were minimal egress window installation companies available. Troy saw an opportunity in the market to bring his building expertise to the egress window installation trade.
BOLD GROWTH
2011 — As demand grew, so did the industry. New companies came in, but we never lost sight of what mattered—being easy to work with, doing high-quality work, keeping pricing fair, and showing up like a family business should: honest, reliable, and accountable.
LEGACY-DRIVEN FUTURE
2015 — Owned by Mary and Troy and built alongside their sons, this is a family business through and through. Every project carries our name—which means your home is treated with care, and quality is never optional.
