Egress Windows & Emergency Exits in Woodstock, ON

Woodstock’s Friendly City charm extends below grade too. With its mix of older character homes and newer subdivisions, Woodstock presents great opportunities for basement renovations and legal second suites. Many older homes in the downtown core have deep foundations perfect for finishing, while newer builds often have walkout basements ideal for separate entrances. We handle underpinning, waterproofing, and full suite conversions throughout Oxford County.

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.
