 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Frank and his team have been super communicative and efficient through the whole process of adding an egress window and revamping the sump drainage. The work was done well and looks great! The soil settled pretty heavily around the window after completion and they are coming back to refill this week. Very happy with the whole process.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot say enough good things about Frank and his team. The work is outstanding, the personnel respect all aspects of the project, including any effected neighboring properties, and Frank communicated every step of the project as clearly as I needed. I would recommend this company to anyone and everyone.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had an egress window installed. Alta Bella was very professional, efficient and very high quality. Communication throughout the process was great and the task was done as they explained and we ended up with a great window with very little disruption or damage to the outside. Very highly recommended.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an egress window installed in my 1960s built home. Frank and Rob did an awesome job and the process was streamlined and easy from the first call with them. It is so refreshing to work with a company that has systems in place and is highly organized and professional. Their price was significantly below their competitor who also specializes in egress windows because the other company was requiring extensive work to run the drain to my sump pit. The competitor's egress window alone was 20% more. I highly recommend JustEgress.

No. The groundwater already exists around your foundation. A professionally installed egress system gives that water a controlled path away from your basement. Every JustEgress installation includes drainage integration tied directly into the foundation drainage system — this is not an optional upgrade. Improperly drained wells are one of the most common reasons homeowners experience pooling water, freeze-thaw damage, foundation deterioration, and leaks around basement windows.

Under New York State Residential Building Code, habitable space includes finished areas where people live, sleep, work, or regularly spend time. This may include:

Basement bedrooms
Home offices
Playrooms
Teen hangout spaces
In-law suites
Finished recreational spaces

Laundry rooms, utility rooms, and storage spaces are generally not considered habitable space.

New York State Residential Building Code Section R310 states: “Basements, habitable attics, and every sleeping room shall have not less than one operable emergency escape and rescue opening.” Basement bedrooms require their own code-compliant egress opening. Requirements generally include:

Minimum 5.7 square feet clear opening
Minimum 20-inch net clear width
Window sill no higher than 44 inches from finished floor
Operable without tools
In-law suites
Properly drained window well system

Specific requirements may vary by municipality.

Yes. Under New York State Residential Building Code Section R310, every sleeping room requires its own operable emergency escape and rescue opening.

Most unfinished basement installations are completed in a single day. Finished basement projects generally follow a four-day process:

Day 1 — Interior containment and wall exposure
Day 2 — Excavation, cutting, drainage, and installation
Day 3 — Framing, insulation, and drywall work
Day 4 — Finish trim, drywall finishing, and final cleanup

Yes. JustEgress handles permit coordination and inspection scheduling as part of the installation process.

Yes. We regularly install egress systems in:

Poured concrete foundations
Block foundations
Superior Walls
Field stone and rubble foundations
ICF foundations

Western New York has some of the most challenging foundation and soil conditions in the country, and we have been working in those conditions since 2008.

We use professional Alturna Mats and precision-sized excavation equipment to minimize impact to lawns and landscaping. We do not use plywood sheets as ground protection. Complete cleanup is part of every project.

Yes. Many homeowners begin with a guided photo estimate or secure LiveSwitch virtual consultation. Every proposal includes a personalized Loom video review where Frank walks through the site conditions, installation plan, and recommended system.
