Egress Windows Before & After Photos

Before:
A homeowner in Green Bay, WI, wanted to install two egress windows in their basement to meet safety code requirements and add more natural light to the space. The existing basement windows were small, outdated, and did not provide a safe emergency exit. With plans to convert the basement into living space, the homeowner wanted a durable, code-compliant solution that would enhance both safety and comfort while improving the home’s overall value.

After:
Sure-Dry’s team excavated two areas outside the foundation and installed dual egress window systems, each featuring a large, code-compliant window, a durable window well, and a clear cover to prevent debris and water intrusion. Drainage stone was placed at the base of each well to ensure proper water flow and long-term protection for the foundation. The new windows significantly increased natural light, improved ventilation, and provided two safe, accessible emergency exits that meet all building code standards.

The homeowner was thrilled with the transformation, noting how much brighter, safer, and more inviting the basement now feels — and with confidence knowing the space is fully compliant for everyday use.

Before: A Finished Basement Missing One Key Element

These Sheboygan homeowners had recently completed a beautiful basement renovation—adding new flooring, lighting, and a functional layout. But one thing was missing: a code-compliant egress window. Without a proper emergency exit, the space couldn’t legally be used as a bedroom or safe living area. The lack of natural light also left the space feeling dim and enclosed.

Wanting to protect their investment and their family, the homeowners contacted Sure-Dry to ensure the basement was not only beautiful—but safe and up to code.

After: A Safe, Bright, and Code-Compliant Basement Upgrade

Our team installed a tan Rockwell Premier Series Egress Window System, known for its sleek appearance, strength, and full IRC compliance. The new system not only met safety requirements—it completely transformed the space with natural light and fresh air.

What We Installed:

• A large, code-compliant egress window with a tan Rockwell stone-look composite well

• Built-in ladder for safe and easy emergency exit

• Polycarbonate cover to prevent water, leaves, and debris from collecting in the well

• Seamless exterior finish that complements the home’s look and landscaping

With the new egress system in place, the finished basement now meets all legal requirements for living space—and feels more open, bright, and welcoming.
