Egress Windows & Emergency Exits in St. Thomas, ON

St. Thomas homeowners are increasingly turning to legal basement apartments as a way to offset mortgage costs and provide affordable housing in the community. As the Railway City continues to grow with new industrial development, rental demand is rising steadily. Our team brings the same quality and attention to detail to every St. Thomas project, handling permits, design, and construction from start to finish.

Ontario Building Code requires every basement bedroom to have an egress window — a window large enough for a person to escape through in an emergency. Egress windows are also one of the best upgrades you can make to any basement space because they flood the room with natural light and make the space feel open and above-grade. Our installation process includes cutting through the foundation wall, excavating a window well, installing a properly sized window unit, waterproofing the opening, and building a code-compliant window well with a cover and ladder if the well depth requires it. The result is a brighter, safer, and more valuable basement.
