A Safer, Brighter Basement in Broomfield
If you are finishing a basement in Broomfield, adding a bedroom down there, or simply want a real way out in an emergency, an egress window is usually the piece that makes the plan work. Building code calls for an escape opening in basements and in every sleeping room, and a properly sized window is the most common way to meet it. It also brings in daylight and fresh air that a basement rarely gets on its own.
We handle the whole job: cutting the concrete opening, setting the window, installing the well, sorting out drainage and pulling the permit. Choose a slider, a casement or a European Tilt & Turn window, which costs the same as the others when it is used for egress.
The price is the same whether you already have a small window there or we start from solid wall.
Local know-how
Broomfield Homes, From the 1950s to Today
Broomfield took shape in the 1950s, when developers set out to build what the city’s own history calls the state’s first dream community, shortly after work began on the Boulder Turnpike in 1950. Neighborhoods have kept growing ever since, so one Broomfield egress job might involve a mid-century foundation and the next a much newer basement a few miles away. We look at the wall, the yard and the grade before we recommend a window and well.
Broomfield is also unusual because it is a consolidated city and county, a status that took effect on November 15, 2001. One local government handles your building permit, inspections and zoning. Its Building Division sits within Community Development, accepts permit applications by email and lists plan review at about one to two weeks. Inspections are scheduled between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m., and we plan your install around those times.

Permits and Engineering in Broomfield
Cutting a new opening in a foundation wall is structural work, and Broomfield’s Building Division requires a permit and inspections for structural alterations like it. We pull that permit ourselves. Broomfield has also been moving residential projects to the 2024 code package, and we design each opening to the code in force when we apply. Every job gets a third-party structural engineering detail, an inspection by a certified structural engineering firm and an approval letter, even where the city would not ask for engineering. If your project adds a bedroom, plan on smoke alarms inside it, outside it and on each level of the home.

Egress windows in Broomfield: FAQ
Do I need a permit for an egress window in Broomfield?
Yes. Cutting or enlarging an opening in a foundation wall is a structural alteration, and the City and County of Broomfield requires a building permit and inspections for that kind of work. We pull the permit for you as part of every job, schedule the inspections and keep the engineering paperwork with the file, so you are not left sorting out forms.
How much does an egress window cost in Broomfield?
Where your job lands depends on the foundation wall, the window you pick, the type of well, how easy the spot is to reach and the permit requirements. The price is the same whether a window exists there today or not, and a Tilt & Turn window costs the same as a slider or casement.
How soon can you install in Broomfield?
We work year-round, so a winter start is fine. Permit timing matters too: Broomfield lists plan review at about one to two weeks, and we fold that into the schedule when we book your job.
Can I add a bedroom in my Broomfield basement?
Usually, as long as the room gets a code-compliant escape opening. That generally means a net clear opening of at least 5.7 square feet, at least 24 inches high and 20 inches wide, with the sill no more than 44 inches off the floor. A below-grade window also needs a well of at least 9 square feet, plus a ladder if the well is deeper than 44 inches.

Notes from happy homeowners
“Denver Egress Window has been exceptional, from the first appointment with Sharine for the estimate to the finished product. All the workers were polite and professional, kept everything tidy, even with heavy rains between the outside work day and the inside work day. No dust, no dirt. Ready for fire drills. Highly recommend.”

“We were very pleased with the service we received from Steven and his crew. He sent his men to alleviate some problems we had with water filling our window well. They came while it was raining during our recent rainy spell to fix a long-standing problem we were having. Steven also came to check that the job was done right. We would definitely recommend Denver Egress Windows because they fulfilled their promise to fix our problem.”

“We recently used Denver Egress Window to replace a non-conforming window in our basement bedroom. Gina and the rest of the company was great to work with! They were very responsive as we got everything set up for the installation. The actual work was done quickly and efficiently, and the workmanship was wonderful. I am amazed at the transformation of the room! This company is a great choice from a customer service, construction quality, and pricing standpoint.”
