Expert Egress Window Installation in Greater Spokane And Coeur D'Alene, ID
Egress window installation is one of the most practical upgrades a Coeur d'Alene homeowner can make to a basement. Whether you are finishing a lower-level bedroom or bringing an older home up to current code, a properly sized egress window creates a safe exit point for occupants and an entry point for emergency responders. The City of Coeur d'Alene follows IRC standards that require a minimum net clear opening of 5.7 square feet, with the sill no higher than 44 inches from the finished floor. Many homes in the area were built before these standards were enforced, so retrofits are common. Our process covers concrete cutting, framing, window well installation with drainage, and weatherproofing. We handle the structural work carefully to protect your foundation and keep moisture out. If your basement has a bedroom or living space without a code-compliant window, call Copper Mountain General Contracting to schedule an on-site assessment.

The window must have a net clear opening of at least 5.7 square feet, with a minimum height of 24 inches and minimum width of 20 inches. The sill height cannot exceed 44 inches above the finished floor.
Yes, concrete cutting is part of our egress window installation process in Coeur d'Alene. We also handle framing, waterproofing, and window well installation as part of the same scope of work.
Yes, the City of Coeur d'Alene requires contractor registration for this type of work. Copper Mountain General Contracting meets that requirement so your project stays fully compliant.
Yes, egress windows are regularly retrofitted into finished Coeur d'Alene basements. We assess the existing wall, foundation depth, and exterior grade before starting any work.
