I started Scaldino Basement Solutions in 2010 to provide homeowners in Short Hills, 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 Short Hills, NJ.
Cutting and installing an egress window in a Short Hills, NJ foundation wall requires more than just making an opening. The work involves correctly sizing the opening to meet IRC R310, framing the rough opening in the masonry, installing the window unit, waterproofing the perimeter, installing a properly sized and drained window well, and passing a local building inspection. Scaldino Basement Solutions evaluates each Short Hills, NJ property for wall condition, drainage, and soil type before beginning a project to confirm the correct scope and window unit approach for that specific property.
