Emergency Line
Lincoln Egress Windows installs and repairs egress windows and window wells for homeowners, remodelers, and property managers across Lincoln and southeast Nebraska. Whether you're finishing a basement bedroom, replacing a leaking window well, or fixing a unit that's failed inspection, we handle the cut-in, the window, and the drainage as one job.
We keep pricing straight with a clear cost breakdown and a free written estimate before we dig, and we're licensed and insured on every job we take on. If you just need an old window well fixed or a standard basement window swapped, we do window well work and basement window replacement too, not just full egress cut-ins.
We cut in new egress windows for basement bedrooms, additions, and finishing projects, sized to Lincoln's current code. Every install includes the window well, drainage, and a final walkthrough so you know exactly what you're getting.
Learn More →Old, undersized, or rotted-out egress windows get swapped for a new frame and glass without tearing up your whole foundation wall. Most replacements are done in a day, and we haul away the old unit.
Learn More →A window well that doesn't drain will eventually flood your basement, so we grade, gravel, and pipe every well we set to move water away from the house. We also fit new wells to existing egress windows that were installed without one.
Learn More →Not every basement window needs to become an egress window, and we'll tell you straight if a simple like-for-like replacement is the better call. We handle standard basement window swaps with the same one-day crew and cleanup.

We show up with the crew and equipment to cut, frame, and set your egress window and well in a single visit, weather permitting.

We size and place every egress window to current IRC and Lincoln-Lancaster County requirements so your basement bedroom actually counts as legal.

Most Repairs
We walk your basement wall and yard, measure for code compliance, and give you a written price before any work is scheduled.
Our crew cuts the foundation opening, sets the window and well, and grades drainage away from the house, usually all in one day.
We haul away debris, walk you through the finished window and well, and make sure everything is ready to pass inspection.
Most jobs fall between $2,500 and $5,500, depending on your foundation thickness, the window size required, and the window well material you choose. We give you a firm written estimate after a site visit, so there's no guessing.
Yes, cutting a new egress opening or enlarging one for a basement bedroom requires a permit through Lincoln-Lancaster County. We handle the permit paperwork and make sure the finished install meets code before we close out the job.
Most single-window cut-ins are done in one day, from opening the foundation to setting the window well and grading drainage. Larger jobs, unusual foundation walls, or multiple windows can take longer, and we'll walk you through the timeline at your estimate.
Yes, we install egress windows year-round, though frozen or heavily saturated ground can add time to the excavation. We'll tell you upfront if winter conditions are likely to affect your specific site.
We keep a 24/7 line open for closing deadlines, failed inspections, and flooded window wells. Rush and after-hours work typically adds $150 to $400 to the job depending on timing and scope, and we'll confirm that cost before we start.
An egress window is one requirement for a legal basement bedroom, but sizing, sill height, and well dimensions all have to meet code together. We size every install to current requirements so the room can pass inspection as a legal bedroom.
Most egress window installations in Lincoln run in the $2,500 to $5,500 range depending on foundation type and window well style, and we'll give you an exact number in writing before work starts. Call (509) 224-3484 or email info@lincolnegresswindows.com for a free estimate.
