In 2010, I opened Scaldino Basement Solutions near Closter, NJ, where we have completed egress window installations across properties of all ages and foundation types. Every job includes the full scope: foundation cut, framing, window unit, perimeter waterproofing, window well, cover, and drain. The installation passes local inspection before we close the project. Free assessments are available for all Closter, NJ homeowners.
A finished basement bedroom without a code-compliant egress window is not a legal bedroom under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code or IRC R310. In Closter, NJ, homeowners discover this problem when applying for a certificate of occupancy, during a home sale inspection, or after an insurance review. The window opening must meet minimum net clear area, minimum opening height and width, and maximum sill height requirements. Scaldino Basement Solutions evaluates the foundation wall, soil conditions, and drainage at each Closter, NJ property before proposing the correct egress window size, location, and window well configuration. The free assessment covers every variable that affects installation scope and cost.
