Related questions
Can an egress window make a basement bedroom legal?
It is usually required, but ceiling height, smoke/CO alarms, electrical, and local code also matter. Confirm with the local building department.
Is this foundation repair or remodeling?
It touches both. The contractor must handle excavation, wall cutting, waterproofing, and code-compliant window details.
