Even if egress windows are not required, you should have them installed for the safety of your family.<\/p>\n<p>IRC standards do not specify the design of an egress window, but casement windows usually work best, especially where space is limited. They have hinged sashes that swing out, leaving lots of room to crawl through. <\/p>\n<div class=\"image-style\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/businessfinancenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/How-Much-Does-it-Cost-to-Have-Egress-Windows-Installed.jpg\" alt=\"Average Egress Replacement Prices\"\/><\/div>\n<h4>Cost of Egress Windows <\/h4>\n<p>If you\u2019re simply replacing an existing egress window, budget anywhere from about <strong>$200-$1,200,<\/strong> depending on the material. A vinyl window will fall on the low end of that range, fiberglass will fall somewhere in the middle and wood will fall on the higher end. <\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re adding an egress window where one doesn\u2019t exist &#8211; which means cutting a large hole in the wall &#8211; you\u2019re looking at spending <strong>$2,000 to $5,000<\/strong> for professional installation. Planning to tackle the job yourself? That brings the cost down to about <strong>$500-$1,000<\/strong>, but DIY is not advisable unless you have experience.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re replacing a smaller window with an egress window, keep in mind that it is less expensive to increase the height of an opening than the width because less structural work is required. Ask your contractor to increase only the height, if possible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"author\"><strong>Author:<\/strong> Ashley Smith<\/p>\n<p>                <!--\n\n<h3 class=\"ctalower\">Find Local Window Companies Who Will Compete for Your Business<\/h3>\n\n\n                <iframe class=\"homeadvisor\"  height=\"1500\" border=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homeadvisor.com\/ext\/14857381?gatc=KompareItIframe\" align=\"top\" marginwidth=\"2\" marginheight=\"2\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>--><!--\n\n<div id=\"disqus_thread\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<noscript>Please enable JavaScript to view the comments powered by Disqus.<\/noscript>-->\n              <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Compare Egress Window Price Quotes Egress windows are intended for one purpose: safety.
