Columbus, Ohio’s Solution for Egress Windows

Is your basement dark and unwelcoming? Do you want to expand the living space in your home? An egress window could be the perfect solution. Egress windows are windows installed in the basement of your home that are large enough for a person to climb out of in case of an emergency. Most egress windows are casement or sliding style, and they have to adhere to strict building codes so it is important to work with a contractor that you can trust. At HEGG Windows & Doors, we work closely with homeowners so they can find the perfect egress solution for their Columbus, Ohio homes.

Why Add an Egress Window?

Now that you know what an egress window is, does it make sense for your home? There are a variety of reasons why you should have an egress window in your home including:

Safety

If you regularly use your basement or have people sleeping downstairs, it is imperative to have an egress window for exit in case of a fire or other emergency. An egress window allows an individual to escape through the opening into a small well that he/she can then climb out of.

Additional Light

A full-sized window in your basement can add a tremendous amount of natural light to an otherwise dark space. An egress window can make a basement feel more like a welcoming, usable living space.

Increased Home Value

Adding an egress window to your basement allows you to count the space in your basement as livable, which not only adds square footage but also adds value to your home. As long as everything is code-compliant, an egress window can add a bedroom to your home, which is a big selling point when putting your home on the market.

Adding an egress window can completely change the look and feel of your basement, and it can positively impact the overall value of your home and pique the interest of potential future buyers. But an egress window is not a quick fix, so it is important to choose a contractor who can help you find the perfect solution for your home all while ensuring that everything is installed correctly and up to code. For Columbus, Ohio homeowners, HEGG Windows & Doors is the perfect partner for your window project. Whether you are looking to replace the window in an existing egress opening or you are looking to add an entirely new egress window, HEGG Windows & Doors can help.

At HEGG Windows & Doors, we strive to provide the best customer service in the industry. But don’t just take our word for it, check out some of our amazing customer reviews below.

I'm a big fan of HEGG Windows because of their customer service, attention to detail, and amazing communication. I had got several quotes before deciding on HEGG and what helped with my decision was that they are a local company, sales was not pushy, professional, price was reasonable, and communication/follow-ups were so nice. The installers were great and the quality inspection afterwards was helpful - they already found something to fix (hardware replacement) and are on it! I feel really taken care of. Thank you HEGG! Will definitely look for you for more windows in the future.

Probably the best company I’ve ever dealt with for home improvement. We just had a small, one door project and I felt like they treated us like we had a huge whole house window install. Communication was excellent from the company at every step. Final product was high quality, and they even did a follow up inspection to make sure we were satisfied. I will definitely use this company again when the need arises.

Highly recommend Hegg Windows and Doors! Knowledgeable, professional, communicative, great selection, and low pressure sales approach! Recently had sliding doors, 3 season room windows, entry doors replaced. Very happy with end result. The walk-through after installation addressed any questions or adjustments needed. They even caulked and touched up paint inside and out! A rare company built on customer satisfaction.

Laurie D.

The whole team was great to work with. They are skilled in what they do and very professional. We had a small job of replacing just two windows and they did an excellent job. We appreciated the follow up inspection and lessons on how to care for our new windows. Kudos to Josh, Virginia, and the whole team.

Excellent communication from the beginning of the process to the final QA walkthrough after the installation. This is the type of company you WANT to do business with rather than a company you have to work with. Excellent organization!
