Basement Window Replacement: What to Know Before You Hire
Basement window replacement deals with a different set of problems than the rest of the house: smaller openings, higher moisture exposure, and — if you're adding a bedroom downstairs — Ontario's egress requirements for a window large enough to escape through in an emergency.
Professionals typically replace basement windows with units rated for below-grade moisture exposure, and if your basement renovation includes a bedroom, they size the opening to meet egress code, not just to fit what was there before.
What This Work Typically Includes
- Below-grade, moisture-rated window units
- Egress-code sizing for basement bedrooms
- Window well drainage checked and corrected
- Proper sealing against basement humidity
