I started Scaldino Basement Solutions in 2010 to provide homeowners in River Vale, NJ with basement improvements that meet code and hold up over time. Egress window installation is part of that work. We handle the full scope at every property: foundation cut, framing, waterproofing, window well with correct clearance, cover, drain, and inspection. The goal is a legal, safe egress opening built to last in River Vale, NJ.
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 River Vale, 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 River Vale, 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.

The window well is sized and positioned to provide the required clearance at every River Vale, NJ property, and the drain prevents water from accumulating against the foundation wall.

Cutting an egress window opening in a River Vale, NJ 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 River Vale, NJ 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 River Vale, NJ.
