Trusted Egress Window Installation for Madison Homes
Steele Home Remodeling has handled egress window installation in Madison, WI since 2011, whether you’re finishing a basement bedroom or just want more natural light below grade. We cut the foundation opening, size and install a code-compliant window, and build the window well and drainage — work that’s frequently the first step of a larger basement remodel. What sets us apart is that this structural work is handled by the same experienced crew doing the rest of your basement project, not passed off to a separate sub.
Our Egress Window Installation Process, Start to Finish
Every project follows the same straightforward process, so you know what to expect before work begins and while it’s underway.

Free In-Home Estimate
We assess your basement and foundation, confirm code requirements, and provide an honest, itemized estimate before any commitment.

Planning & Permitting
We determine window size and placement to meet Dane County egress code and handle permitting where required.

Foundation Cutting
We cut the foundation opening and excavate the window well with attention to structural integrity.

Window & Well Installation
We install the egress window, window well, and drainage, then finish the interior opening.

Final Walkthrough
We walk the finished installation with you and confirm it's sealed, draining properly, and code-compliant.
Egress Windows Built for Wisconsin's Freeze-Thaw Cycle
An egress window well that isn’t drained and insulated correctly for Wisconsin’s freeze-thaw cycle can crack, heave, or flood during spring melt. We build drainage and insulation into every window well installation with that cycle in mind, not just the summer installation conditions.

Freeze-Thaw Rated Drainage
Window wells are drained and insulated to handle Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycle without cracking or flooding.

Dane County Egress Code
Every installation is sized and placed to meet Dane County code requirements for a legal basement bedroom.

Structural Care
Foundation cutting is handled carefully to protect the structural integrity of your home.

What Madison Homeowners Say
EXCELLENT Based on 16 reviews Posted on Google Steven PTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Phill and Luke just finished a kitchen refresh for us, and it was a pleasure working with them both. Steele construction is knowledgeable, friendly, clean, highly skilled with impressive attention to the finer details of a project. While ours was a smaller project for them, they were able to blend in our new pieces with the original and create a seamless look that appears to all be original. As with any remodeling project, some things do not go as planned and Phill and Luke were able to explain multiple options and help determine the best path forward. We are very happy with the finished product. We will definitely be using them in them in the future.Posted on Google Kyla SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was a pleasure to work with Phill and Luke. They were responsive, clean, friendly and receptive to all my last minute ideas and questions. I knew I was, at times, an indecisive client - but that didn’t phase them in the least. They were patient and offered great advice when we were deciding what to do. They took our dilapidated screen porch and deck stairs and turned it into the three season room of our dreams. We will absolutely be having them back for jobs in the future and I’ve already recommended them to friends.Posted on Google karen hinesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Contracting with Steele was the best decision we’ve ever made with a remodel. Their expertise was above and beyond our expectations making sure everything was completed to our satisfaction. We appreciated attention to detail and effort to complete it to perfection. It’s satisfying to know there are professional workers who care to do a job well done. THANK YOU!!Posted on Google Andrew YanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Steele Home Repair recently repaired a sagging ceiling and replaced a couple of storm and exterior doors. We were very happy with the experience--Phill gave us a number of options to select from at varying cost levels and we never felt pressured to select a particular option. The quality of work was great and reasonably priced. We would definitely consider Steele Home Repair for any future projects. Edit: We had Phill and Luke over to do a kitchen and bathroom remodel a couple years later. They did great work! Never felt pressured to do anything; Phill consistently gave use the pros/cons of the any options we had. Our family loves the finished product.Posted on Google Rhonda OBrienTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was such a pleasure to work with Phil and Luke on our bathroom remodel, in our not so ‘square nor plum’ 100+ year old home.

They were skillful, efficient, respectful and creative in their work. We couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome!Posted on Google John CervenyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Phil and Luke are excellent at listening, problem solving and creating beautiful outcomes. They were clear communicators, their work was quality and they answered all our myriad questions patiently.

We highly recommend them, and will use them again in the future. Raquel and John CervenyPosted on Google Rebecca BremTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
