How long does egress window installation take?

A single egress window installation typically takes one to two days. The process involves saw cutting the foundation wall opening, removing the cut concrete section, framing and setting the window unit, installing the exterior well, and backfilling and grading around the well.

Drainage at the well base, if connected to the interior drainage system, may extend the project by a partial day depending on access to the interior drain line.

Permit timing affects the overall schedule. Scaldino Basement Solutions submits permit applications in advance of scheduling installation so that permit approval does not create delays once the crew is on-site. NJ municipal review timelines vary, so starting the process early is recommended.

For multiple windows installed in the same project, work is generally completed within two to three days. Contact Scaldino Basement Solutions to discuss your timeline and schedule your free assessment.
