Egress Windows Before & After Photos

Before:
A homeowner in Appleton, WI, wanted to transform their dark basement into a bright, livable space that met all safety code requirements. The existing windows were small and outdated, providing minimal natural light and no safe way to exit in an emergency. The homeowner wanted a clean, professional installation that would improve both the look and safety of their basement while maintaining proper drainage around the foundation.

After:
Sure-Dry’s team excavated the area outside the foundation and installed a complete egress window system, featuring a large, code-compliant window, a strong window well, and a clear cover to prevent water and debris buildup. The crew added drainage stone at the base of the well to ensure proper water management and long-term durability. The finished installation flooded the basement with natural light, improved airflow, and provided a safe, accessible emergency exit.

The homeowner was thrilled with the transformation, noting how much brighter and more comfortable their basement feels now that it’s code-compliant and ready for everyday use.

The basement of this home in Menominee, MI was dark, outdated, and not up to code for use as a living space. With an undersized, rusted window and no safe emergency exit, the homeowners couldn’t use the space for a bedroom or family area—and little natural light made it feel cold and uninviting.

To make their basement safer and more functional, Sure-Dry installed a Rockwell Egress Window System.

This high-performance egress solution features a beautiful stone-look window well made from durable, UV-stable composite material. A built-in ladder provides a safe escape route in case of emergency, while the polycarbonate well cover protects against water and debris.

By allowing natural light to pour in, this egress window transforms a previously unusable basement into a bright, code-compliant living space.

Designed for safety, style, and durability, the Rockwell system is a smart investment that adds long-term value to the home. With its resistance to frost, rust, and rot, it delivers peace of mind in all seasons.

Before:
A homeowner in Menominee, MI, wanted to make their basement safer and more inviting by installing an egress window. Their existing basement windows were small and outdated, offering little light and no emergency exit. The homeowner planned to use the basement as additional living space and needed a solution that would meet code requirements while improving comfort and appearance.

After:
Sure-Dry’s team excavated the area outside the foundation and installed a new egress window system, including a large, code-compliant window, a durable well, and a clear cover designed to prevent debris and moisture buildup. Drainage stone was placed at the bottom of the well to promote proper water flow away from the foundation. The new window provided ample natural light, increased ventilation, and a secure emergency exit that meets modern building standards.
