Most of our jobs start with a basement window no one could climb through. We enlarge the opening, set a code-sized window, build the well outside and trim the window inside.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. On February 16, 2026, I requested a bid from Denver Egress Window for the installation of an egress window in my basement. Just two days later, Sunny visited my home to provide an estimate. I was immediately impressed with Sunny’s knowledge of the products offered by Denver Egress Window. During her visit, she answered all of my questions thoroughly and demonstrated both expertise and professionalism. In addition, Sunny provided a detailed bid that clearly described the products included as well as the associated costs for the window installation. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the bid from Denver Egress Window was significantly lower than the other estimates I had received. Before signing a contract, and because of my work schedule, I needed to know the exact date the window would be installed. Gina was extremely helpful with scheduling and provided a clear and reasonable timeline for the project. Several days before the installation, Gina also called to provide additional details about the job. On the first day of the installation, a hole was dug in preparation for the window. The following day, a team of workers arrived promptly at the scheduled time and completed the installation. Every employee I interacted with was friendly, professional, and respectful. I am extremely happy with the finished product. The installers left my yard looking just as it did when they began their work. The employees at Denver Egress Window are clearly experts at what they do, and they approach their work as if they were working on their own home. Kudos to the organization for hiring such competent and skilled individuals.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Denver Egress Window highly enough. From my initial call to the final installation of our new egress window in our finished basement, the process took only three days—an astonishingly fast turnaround that was seamless and stress-free. The service was terrific, the quality of work is outstanding, and the price was lower than expected. They quickly transformed our basement, making it safer and brighter. If you need an egress window installed, these are the experts to call!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We just had our existing window well replaced with one that met code and used faux tan rock.  It turned out great!  The team at Denver Egress was thoughtful and diligent - really alleviated any concerns that I had.  I would definitely use them again!  Tku Karla, Carlos, and crew; and Gina and Sunny!
