Egress Window Installation
Code-compliant egress windows for Calgary basements. Make your basement bedroom legal, safe, and bright — installed by our own crew with a 25-year warranty.
A Legal Requirement for Basement Bedrooms
An egress window is a window large enough to serve as an emergency exit in the event of a fire or other emergency. In Alberta, building codes require egress windows in all basement bedrooms and sleeping areas.
If you're finishing your basement, converting a room to a bedroom, or creating a legal basement suite, an egress window is not optional — it's required by law and essential for the safety of your family or tenants.
Go-Green Windows & Doors provides professional egress window installation in Calgary, Chestermere, Airdrie, Cochrane, and surrounding areas. We handle the full process — from enlarging the opening to installing the window well and the new egress window unit.
Benefits of Egress Window Installation
Building Code Compliance
Alberta building codes require egress windows in all basement bedrooms and sleeping areas. We ensure your installation meets all local requirements and is inspection-ready.
Fire Safety & Emergency Exit
Egress windows provide a critical emergency exit in the event of a fire. Protect your family or tenants with a properly sized, code-compliant egress window.
Legal Basement Suite
A legal basement bedroom with a proper egress window can significantly increase your home's value and make your basement suite legally rentable in Calgary.
More Natural Light
Larger egress windows bring significantly more natural light into your basement, making the space more comfortable, livable, and appealing to future buyers.
Egress Window Requirements in Calgary
Alberta's building code sets specific minimum requirements for egress windows. Our team is familiar with all local requirements and ensures every installation is fully compliant and inspection-ready.
Not Sure If Your Window Qualifies?
Most older basement windows are too small to meet egress requirements. During your free in-home assessment, we'll measure your existing window and tell you exactly what's needed to bring it up to code.

We handle the entire project from the first measurement to the final inspection. No hidden costs, no subcontractors, no surprises.
Why No Subcontractors Matters
Egress window installation involves concrete cutting, excavation, waterproofing, and window installation — all in one job. When you hire a company that subcontracts, accountability gets split. With Go-Green, one crew handles everything, and one company stands behind the warranty.
Egress Window Installation Cost in Calgary
Every job is different — foundation type, soil conditions, and window well depth all affect the final price. These ranges give you a realistic starting point before your free in-home quote.
| Installation Type | Typical Range (Installed) |
|---|---|
| Basic Egress (existing opening, minor enlargement) | $2,500 – $3,500 |
| Standard Egress (concrete cut + window well) | $3,500 – $5,000 |
| Full Egress + Large Window Well + Finishing | $5,000 – $7,000+ |
Flexible Financing May Be Available
Financing options — including potential access to the Canada Greener Homes Loan (CEIP) — may be available for qualifying homeowners. Eligibility depends on your home and upgrade type. We'll walk you through your options at your free assessment.
We Never Overcut the Concrete
Many companies cut the concrete opening larger than necessary to make the job easier — leaving gaps that require excessive patching and can compromise your foundation’s integrity. Go-Green cuts precisely to size, every time. Our crew takes the extra care to match the opening exactly to the window unit, resulting in a cleaner finish, better insulation, and a stronger, more professional installation.
