Egress Windows in Burke, VA

The Rec Room Becomes a Bedroom

Burke's subdivisions are full of 1970s and 80s colonials and split-levels with finished basement rec rooms — and sooner or later, the rec room becomes a teenager's bedroom or a guest room. That is the moment the egress rule kicks in. The room was fine as a rec room; as a bedroom, it needs the code-sized window, the well, and the ladder. We do this conversion constantly in Burke, usually in a day or two.

Split-Levels and Their Shallow Walls

Burke has a lot of split-levels, where the lower level is only partly below grade. That can actually help: a window on the daylight side may sit close enough to grade to qualify for the 5.0-square-foot opening instead of 5.7, with a shallower well. We measure the grade at each candidate wall and use whichever side gives you the simplest compliant install.
