Egress Window Pros Toronto installs Ontario Building Code compliant egress windows, window wells, and covers across Toronto and the GTA, with complete egress window installation priced at $4,500–$8,000 and window wells at $800–$2,500. Every project meets OBC 9.9.10.1 exit requirements, and we provide a free on-site evaluation with a written quote within 48 hours.
What's Included in an Egress Window Installation
A full egress window installation from Egress Window Pros Toronto includes:
- Concrete or brick cutting and removal of the existing window opening
- Steel lintel installation to support the structure above
- A new slider egress window sized to meet OBC 9.9.10.1
- A galvanized steel or aluminum window well, sized to clear the required minimum 0.35 m² of unobstructed opening
- Gravel and perforated drainage pipe at the base of the well
- Waterproofing membrane applied to the exposed foundation
- Backfilling, grading, and complete site cleanup
- Sealing and interior trim finishing
We also install window well covers ($300–$900) and can add drainage or waterproofing upgrades to an existing well if your current setup floods.
Pricing: What Toronto Homeowners Pay
Typical project ranges for Toronto and GTA homes, including labour, materials, and disposal:
- Egress window installation: $4,500–$8,000
- Window well installation: $800–$2,500
- Window well covers: $300–$900
- Window well drainage and waterproofing: $500–$3,000
- Basement waterproofing: from $1,200
- Window well replacement and repair: $500–$2,000
The final price depends on soil conditions, foundation type (poured concrete, block, or brick), window well depth, and whether your project needs a permit drawing. We break every cost out in writing before work starts — no surprise charges once the crew arrives.
How the Installation Works
1. Free site evaluation. We inspect the window, well, drainage, and foundation, then measure everything needed to meet OBC exit requirements.
2. Quote within 48 hours. You get a written, line-item price covering the window, well, drainage, labour, and permit drawings, if required.
3. Permitting. We prepare the drawings and submit the application with the City of Toronto. Most permits are approved within a few weeks.
4. Installation. Excavation, window and well installation, drainage, and waterproofing are completed in one to two days.
5. Backfill and cleanup. The well is backfilled and compacted, the area is cleaned up, and we walk you through the finished result.
Because Toronto winters bring freeze-thaw cycles, all of our installations include a drainage layer that moves water away from the foundation before it can freeze and shift the well.
