The cost of an egress window varies based on its specifications and other installation variables, but the Bright Idea Egress solution is specifically designed to be more cost effective than traditional solutions, with our complete egress window kits starting at $1495 and install process engineered for additional cost savings. The Bright Idea Egress window kit design requires less excavation than any other solution. The most significant labor component in egress window installation is excavation, which involves not only digging the dirt out but a corresponding effort in backfilling and hauling excess dirt away. The amount of dirt removed not only translates into cost, but also into potential risk to your foundation. Our patented steel Exo-Frame and unique window well design with interior flanges involve significantly less excavation than any competitive solution, thereby resulting in a lower total cost. If you're a capable DIY handyman and complete all the work, including excavation, the foundation cut and using one of our kits, your basic egress window starts at $1495. If you do the dig, but outsource the foundation cut and egress kit installation to a contractor, we typically see a total installation cost using one of our kits starting at $2750. And if you outsource all of the work, including excavation, to a contractor, we typically see a total project cost starting at $3800, including the use of our kit. Please note that these estimates are using our smallest egress window kit, using a 29″ x 47″ European Tilt & Turn, and do not account for construction cost variances across local markets. We are happy to clarify any details of these estimates and answer any questions, please do not hesitate to ask!
