Egress windows for the Metro East. If you are needing a fire escape in your basement, we can help.

08/25/2026

There’s a big difference between someone who CAN install an egress window and someone who installs egress windows every week.

This isn’t one of the things we do.

It’s the thing we do.

Our crew installs around 100 egress windows a year, and we’ve completed more than 600 installations across the St. Louis Metro and Metro East.

That repetition matters when you’re cutting a giant hole into someone’s foundation.

We’ve seen the tight spaces.
The weird foundations.
The finished basements.
The decks and fences in the way.
The jobs where Plan A isn’t going to work.

After enough installs, you stop figuring things out on the homeowner’s house. You already know what to do.

That’s why we specialize.

We hand dig every well, most standard installations are completed in a single day, and egress windows are all we do.

If you’re considering adding an egress window in Illinois or Missouri, I can usually give you a free quote right over the phone after just a few questions.

One thing. Done right.

One of the first questions I hear on almost every estimate is:

“How big is it actually going to be?”

And honestly… it’s a great question.

An egress window well is hard to picture. Until it’s in the ground, most homeowners have nothing to compare it to. They wonder if it’ll be too close to the patio, the A/C unit, the fence, or just feel too big for the yard.

So instead of asking people to imagine it…

I built a solution.

Before we ever dig, I can place a full-scale egress window well in your yard using augmented reality. Standing exactly where it will be installed.

You can walk around it.
See it from every angle.
Look down into it.
See how it fits with everything already in your yard.

No guessing.
No surprises.
Just confidence before a shovel ever touches the ground.

After more than 600 basement egress window installations since 2009, I’ve learned that making homeowners feel comfortable is just as important as making the installation itself.

As far as I know, this is the first augmented reality visualization built specifically for basement egress windows.

Because egress windows aren’t something we do.

They’re the only thing we do.

If you’re thinking about finishing your basement or adding a legal bedroom in Illinois or Missouri, let’s show you exactly what it will look like before we ever get started.

The difference between a basement and a bedroom could come down to one window.

A finished egress window doesn’t just look good. It provides a code-compliant emergency escape, brings natural light into your basement, and can turn an otherwise unusable space into a legal bedroom.

When people look down into an egress window, they usually see a window well.

I see peace of mind.

At GHR Egress Windows, egress windows are all we do. We’ve completed more than 600 installations across Illinois and Missouri, and every project is built to meet code while treating your home with the same care we’d want for our own.

Thinking about finishing your basement or adding a bedroom? Let’s make sure it’s done the right way from the start.

Who do you trust to cut a hole in your home’s foundation?

This isn’t a project where “good enough” is good enough.

An egress window installation permanently changes the structural wall that holds up your home. Done correctly, it adds safety, value, and a legal basement bedroom. Done poorly, it can lead to water problems, structural issues, failed inspections, and expensive repairs.

At GHR Egress Windows, this isn’t just something we do.

It’s all we do.

With more than 600 egress window installations completed since 2009, we’ve refined our process to deliver clean, code-compliant installations that are built to last. We hand-dig every window well, protect your property, and focus on doing the job right the first time.

When you’re choosing someone to cut into your foundation, don’t just compare prices.

Compare experience.
Compare the process.
Compare the results.

Natural light changes everything.

One egress window can completely transform a basement from a dark storage space into a bright, welcoming room that feels like part of your home. But the biggest benefit isn’t what you see every day.

It’s knowing that if an emergency ever happens, there’s a safe, code-compliant way out.

At GHR Egress Windows, this is all we do. We’ve completed more than 600 egress window installations across Missouri and Illinois, and every window is installed with safety, drainage, and long-term performance in mind.

Not every basement is built the same. Your egress window shouldn’t be either.

Some homes have tight spaces. Others have unique foundation layouts, window heights, decks, utilities, or landscaping that make a standard installation impossible.

That’s where experience matters.

At GHR Egress Windows, we specialize in custom egress window solutions built for your home’s specific situation. Whether it requires a larger opening, a unique window size, or a creative approach to meet code, we’ll design the right solution without cutting corners.

With 600+ egress windows installed across Illinois and Missouri, we’ve seen just about every challenge a home can throw at us.

If you’ve been told an egress window can’t be installed, or your situation is “too difficult,” let us take a look first.
