Egress Windows That Suit Greenwood Village Homes
An egress window is a safety feature first. It gives anyone sleeping or spending time in a basement a way to climb out, and it gives firefighters a way in. It is also one of the simplest ways to change how a lower level feels. A larger opening and a well with some depth to it bring in daylight and views that make a basement suite feel connected to the rest of the house.
We cut the concrete, install the window and well, handle drainage and clean the site before we leave.
Since the well is visible from the yard, appearance matters. Boman Kemp stacked-stone wells, Rockwell and Denali stone-look wells and timber terrace wells give a finished look, while steel and Block-Tex wells keep things simple. Custom grates or covers keep leaves and snow out.
Local know-how
From Rural Roots to a Mixed Village
Greenwood Village incorporated in 1950, when residents wanted their own zoning to keep disruptive development out and protect the rural atmosphere they valued. The City now describes itself as a blend of urban and residential areas, and it includes part of the Denver Technological Center. Even with that business presence, it remains a small residential city, with 15,691 residents in the 2020 Census, 31 parks and 47 miles of trails and paths.
Whether the goal is a guest suite, a home office or a bedroom for a returning college student, a basement finish in Greenwood Village requires a building permit, and the City lists window replacement among the residential projects that need one too. For residential work, it asks for structural plans stamped by a Colorado-licensed engineer where required. We do not wait to be asked. Every egress opening we cut is engineered, inspected and documented.

Working With Greenwood Village Community Development
In Greenwood Village, building permits and inspections run through the Community Development department, which takes applications through its Online Access Portal. The City’s permit FAQ also says structural changes to a home require a building permit, and cutting a foundation for an egress window is exactly that kind of change. We pull the permit for you. On every job we also provide a third-party structural engineering detail, arrange an inspection by a certified structural engineering firm and hand you an approval letter, even in cases where engineering is not required. That paperwork stays with the house.

Egress windows in Greenwood Village: FAQ
Do I need a permit for an egress window in Greenwood Village?
Yes, plan on it. The City requires permits for structural changes, basement finishes and window replacement, and cutting or enlarging an opening in a foundation wall checks more than one of those boxes. We prepare the submittal, pull the permit and coordinate inspections, so you are not left sorting through requirements on your own.
Will the window well look out of place in my yard?
It does not have to. Stacked-stone and stone-look wells from Boman Kemp, Rockwell and Denali, along with timber terrace wells, blend with landscaping better than plain metal. A terrace well steps the soil back, which can open up the view from inside. A custom grate or cover keeps debris out without hiding the well.
What is the typical cost?
Pricing depends on the foundation wall, window type, well style, how easily we can reach the spot and local requirements. Financing at 0% is available on approved credit.
Can I get an estimate without someone coming to the house?
Yes. Call (720) 626-4221 to set one up. Once you decide to move ahead, most projects are scheduled three to six weeks out, and the installation itself takes a day or two.

Reviews from people we’ve worked with
“We had a window put into our shop/laundry area. It is 30" wide and 5' deep. We love it! Lots of light now to do projects and we have a clear view now of the backyard and the hummingbird feeder. We chose to put in timbers instead of the metal surround , so now we even have a planter to harvest herbs from.The crew is hardworking and courteous. I can't recommend them more highly.”

“Easy 5 star rating for Denver Egress Windows! Excellent job, great communication, and lower end of the bids we received cost-wise. I'd highly recommend this company. Gina ensured we understood the entire process. Max and his crew kept us updated with everything they were doing, the job quality was excellent, and everything cleaned up when they left.”
Matt Rollins
