Code-Compliant Egress Window Installation in Greater Boston
A finished basement only counts as living space when people can get out of it safely. Egress windows bring light, air, and a code-required emergency exit to Massachusetts basements — and they are the key to making a basement bedroom legal.
Coen Construction installs basement egress windows across Greater Boston as one coordinated project: we saw-cut the foundation opening, set the structural lintel, install the window and insulated well, and finish the interior so it looks like the house was built that way. Massachusetts building code requires a compliant emergency escape and rescue opening for any basement sleeping room, and inspectors check the clear opening, sill height, and well dimensions closely.
Because we are a licensed general contractor — not just a window installer — the concrete cutting, drainage, waterproofing, framing, and trim are all handled by one accountable team. Window wells get proper gravel drainage and covers, cut edges get sealed against water, and the permit and inspection path is managed for you from application to sign-off.
Homeowners add egress windows to legalize a basement bedroom, brighten a family room, raise resale value, or satisfy an appraiser or insurer. Whatever is driving the project, the result is the same: a safer basement that finally counts as real living space.
