Egress windows are designed for safety more than anything else. These types of windows provide an escape route when an emergency such as a fire, for example, prevents you from exiting through a door. Egress windows are typically installed in the basement of your home. Some counties require you to install an egress window in your home for safety laws. An egress window may require an area to be excavated in order to install properly, so egress window installation costs can range from $1,000 to $5,000 depending on your home.
