Egress Windows & Foundation Door Cutouts

We specialize in cutting and installing egress windows and new exterior doors into existing concrete, brick, or block foundation walls. Whether you're adding a legal basement apartment, planning a walkout conversion, or upgrading an unfinished space, we handle the process from start to finish — safely, cleanly, and in full compliance with Ontario Building Code.

What is an Egress Window?

An egress window is a specially sized and positioned window that serves as a legal emergency exit, required for basement bedrooms or any habitable room located below grade. These windows are designed to provide a safe escape route, as well as access for emergency responders.

We ensure all our egress installations are fully code-compliant, with correct dimensions, hardware, drainage, and clearances — and backed by structural framing to support your home.
