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.
