Egress Windows Before & After Photos

Before:
A homeowner in Greenville, WI was preparing to remodel their basement but first needed to bring the space up to current safety and egress requirements. The existing basement window was undersized and did not meet escape or rescue code standards. Limited natural light made the basement feel confined, and ventilation was inadequate for a future living space.
After:
Sure-Dry installed a fully code-compliant egress window system by enlarging the wall opening, installing a properly supported window well, and integrating drainage to prevent water buildup. The upgraded window now provides safe emergency exit capability, more natural light, and improved airflow—essential steps before finishing the basement.
The basement is now safer, brighter, and ready for the homeowner’s remodeling project.

Before: The basement in this Neenah, WI home was dark and lacked natural light. The homeowners were also concerned about the safety of not having an accessible emergency exit from the basement. They wanted to brighten up the space and ensure their family had a safe way out in case of an emergency.

After: Our team installed a stunning RockWell Egress window well, which instantly transformed the look and feel of the basement. The homeowners chose this well not only for its functionality but also for its beautiful stone appearance. The sophisticated cover, designed to hold several hundred pounds, offers peace of mind while adding a sleek touch to the exterior. The built-in steps add both practicality and charm, making this not just an emergency exit but a design feature. The increased sunlight floods the basement, making the space feel open and inviting, while providing a vital escape route if needed.

The homeowners are thrilled with the results—enjoying both the aesthetic upgrade and the added safety.

Before
The homeowners in Shawano, WI wanted to improve the safety and functionality of two basement bedrooms by replacing outdated egress windows that no longer met modern code requirements. While the existing window openings had served the home for years, they did not provide the size or accessibility needed for safe emergency escape. During the inspection, our System Design Specialist evaluated both window openings, confirmed the existing installations were not compliant with current egress standards, and developed a plan to upgrade each location. Replacing the outdated windows would not only improve safety but also allow the basement bedrooms to meet modern egress requirements while bringing more natural light into the finished living space.

After
Our installation team removed the older window systems and completed two professionally installed Egress Windows designed to meet current egress standards for basement bedrooms. Each opening was carefully excavated and prepared before installing the new window systems and window wells to provide safe emergency exit access while allowing significantly more daylight and ventilation into the basement. The completed installation transformed both bedrooms into brighter, safer living spaces while giving the homeowners confidence that their basement now features modern egress window systems designed for both safety and long-term durability.

Before:
A homeowner in Appleton, WI, wanted to install an egress window to transform their dark basement into a bright, livable space that met modern safety codes. The existing basement windows were small, inefficient, and provided no safe means of exit in case of emergency. The homeowner needed a solution that would improve light, ventilation, and safety while maintaining proper drainage and a clean appearance.

After:
Sure-Dry’s team excavated the exterior area and installed a complete egress window system, including a large, code-compliant window, a durable well, and a clear cover to keep out debris and moisture. The crew ensured proper grading and added drainage stone at the base of the well to direct water away from the foundation. The new installation provided abundant natural light and a reliable emergency exit, transforming the basement into a bright, functional space.

The homeowner was thrilled with the improvement, noting how the new window made the basement feel open, comfortable, and fully code-compliant.
