I started Scaldino Basement Solutions in 2010 to provide homeowners in Totowa, 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 Totowa, 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 Totowa, 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 Totowa, 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.
