INSTALLATION PROCESS
When you hire Egress Solutions, you will deal directly with Mark and Drew Shafer on all aspects of your basement egress project. After contacting us for your free estimate and answering all your questions, we will set up a convenient time to come out to your house for a site evaluation. Once you pick your products, sign the proposal and we receive your deposit, you will be added to our installation calendar. We will then apply for the permit, call Miss Dig and provide all the materials needed. Each window installation usually takes just one day to complete.
