Family-run and Toronto-based, Egress Window Pros Toronto has spent the last 12 years focused exclusively on below-grade work: egress windows, window wells, and basement waterproofing. With more than 400 egress windows and window wells installed across the GTA, every project is engineered to meet the Ontario Building Code's exit requirements (OBC 9.9.10.1), installed year-round, and backed by a 10-year workmanship warranty. We're licensed, insured, and WSIB-covered.
Who We Are
Egress Window Pros Toronto started as a small basement waterproofing crew and grew into one of the GTA's most focused egress specialists. We don't do kitchen renovations. We don't do roofing. We do below-grade access, light, and drainage — nothing else. That focus means we've seen every foundation type, every soil condition, and every window-well failure mode our freeze-thaw climate can produce.
What We Do, and What It Costs
We handle the full scope of egress and window-well work. Here's what each service includes and the typical price range for Toronto homes:
- Egress Window Installation ($4,500–$8,000): Cutting the foundation opening, installing a code-compliant window, digging the well, adding drainage, and finishing both interior and exterior.
- Window Well Installation ($800–$2,500): Galvanized steel or aluminum wells, sized to meet egress depth requirements, with a stone or pea gravel base.
- Window Well Covers ($300–$900): Clear, impact-rated covers that keep out leaves, snow, and critters while still letting light through.
- Window Well Drainage & Waterproofing ($500–$3,000): Weeping tile, gravel sump, and exterior membrane work to stop wells from turning into bathtubs during spring rains.
- Basement Waterproofing (From $1,200): Interior and exterior waterproofing for below-grade walls, targeting the source of the leak rather than just sealing the symptom.
- Window Well Replacement & Repair ($500–$2,000): Replacing rusted-out wells, re-anchoring wells that have shifted due to frost heave, and fixing drainage that has collapsed.
Our Process
Every job starts with a free site evaluation. We measure the window opening, check the foundation wall thickness, assess drainage and soil conditions, and confirm access for excavation — a step many contractors skip but one that determines whether a well will hold up over time. You get a written quote within 48 hours. No pressure, no "sign today" discounts.
If you approve, we schedule the install. Because we design drainage for the freeze-thaw cycle — gravel, weeping tile, and proper grading — we install year-round. A January install is only a problem if the contractor doesn't plan for the frost line. We do. Most egress window installations take two to three days. When we're done, we leave the site clean and hand over the paperwork: the building permit, inspection sign-off, and the 10-year workmanship warranty.
