An egress window provides a life-saving emergency exit from your basement while dramatically improving natural light and ventilation. Building codes in New Jersey and New York require every habitable basement room and sleeping area to have at least one egress window with a minimum opening of 5.7 square feet, a sill height no greater than 44 inches from the finished floor, and a window well that allows unobstructed access to grade level. Scaldino Basement Solutions installs egress systems that satisfy these requirements with precision. We cut the foundation wall cleanly, install corrosion-resistant window wells with integrated drainage tied to your sump system, and set commercial-grade vinyl or fiberglass windows rated for below-grade performance. The result is a basement that is safer, brighter, and legally ready for finished use as bedrooms, offices, or recreation areas.
