From Solid Wall to Safe Egress

In Hortonville, WI, this homeowner needed a safe and code-compliant basement exit but didn’t have an existing window large enough to meet egress requirements.

We excavated the area along the foundation, carefully cutting through the concrete wall to create the new opening. After installing the egress window and window well, we finished the project by restoring the yard and seeding the area for new grass. The result is a safe, functional basement escape window that also brings in natural light—while leaving the yard looking clean and refreshed.
