Kansas City’s Foundation Repair Experts Recommend Egress Windows 

Egress windows add value to a house going on the market. An egress window is a window installed in the basement of your foundation, bringing in more natural light, better ventilation, and fresh air. These windows also add necessary escape routes for this area of the home. According to building code, if you want to claim added living space in the basement of your home, basement bedrooms and other living areas require egress windows. 

Additionally, egress windows can add curb-appeal because an attractive window well can be installed around the foundation where the egress window is built. PierMagic can have egress windows installed in a day, ensuring that you get the added value out of the basement of your home right away, as well as the necessary safety features.

Homeowners will be interested in egress windows for the following reasons:

• They brighten the interior of your basement living spaces.
• If your basement isn’t finished, egress windows will help potential homebuyers to imagine the possibilities for living space in the basement.
• If the basement is finished, or if you are going to finish it, egress windows are a necessary requirement for claiming square footage and living space when you advertise your property with a real estate agent.
• They let potential homebuyers know that the basement has safe alternative exits, as safety is always at the top of the list for buyers.

PIerMagic, experts in everything from concrete foundation repair, post and pier foundation work, and polyjacking, are also the leading company for egress window installation. Find more information and images of our excellent work on our website.
