Scaldino Basement Solutions has worked across Cortlandt, NY and the surrounding area since 2010. Egress window installation is one of the services we provide to homeowners who need a basement bedroom to meet code for a legal habitable space. We handle every project from permit application through final inspection confirmation, so homeowners in Cortlandt, NY receive a complete documented installation.
An egress window serves two functions in a Cortlandt, NY basement: it provides natural daylight to the below-grade space and gives occupants a code-compliant emergency exit. Without both, the room cannot be classified as a legal bedroom under the New Jersey UCC. IRC R310 sets specific minimum opening dimensions and maximum sill height requirements. Scaldino Basement Solutions evaluates each Cortlandt, NY property for wall thickness, soil conditions, and drainage before determining the correct window well size, depth, and drainage configuration for a fully compliant installation.

The installation scope includes the foundation opening, correct framing, window unit, perimeter waterproofing, window well, cover, and drain.

Scaldino Basement Solutions provides a free assessment for every Cortlandt, NY homeowner before any work begins, covering wall thickness, soil conditions, and window well requirements.
Cutting an egress window opening in a Cortlandt, NY foundation wall requires the correct tools, correct opening dimensions, and correct framing to support the structure above. Scaldino Basement Solutions performs this work correctly on every project: the opening is cut to code dimensions, the rough opening is framed in the masonry, and the window unit is installed with perimeter waterproofing to prevent water intrusion at the opening.
An egress window opening that is not properly waterproofed at the perimeter will allow water to enter the basement through the foundation wall. Scaldino Basement Solutions waterproofs every egress window installation in Cortlandt, NY at the opening perimeter, and the window well drain prevents water from accumulating outside the opening. These measures ensure the installation performs correctly through all seasons in Cortlandt, NY.
Egress window installation requires a building permit in most Cortlandt, NY municipalities. Contact your local building department to confirm requirements before work begins. Scaldino Basement Solutions handles permit coordination on every egress window project.
