Egress Window Installation Services in Orlando, Florida
Egress windows are required safety features in Florida bedrooms and finished basements, providing emergency escape routes during fires or emergencies. Bill Morgan inc installs egress windows that meet all Florida Building Code and ICC standards, ensuring your Orlando, Winter Park, or Altamonte Springs home passes inspections. Our installations include proper window wells, drainage systems, and accessibility compliance-critical for homes near Downtown Orlando, Lake Eustis, or in newer subdivisions like Dr. Phillips and Windermere.
Our egress window installation process begins with a site inspection to assess your basement or bedroom layout, wall thickness, and soil conditions around Winter Park, Oviedo, or Sanford. We then measure and order egress windows sized to code specifications, typically 5.7 square feet minimum for emergency escape. Installation includes cutting the opening, installing the window frame, installing the exterior well with proper drainage, and sealing all gaps-completed within 2-3 days per opening.

Our Egress Window Installation Process
Initial Consultation and Code Review
We assess your Orlando, Winter Park, or Oviedo home to determine egress window placement, size requirements (minimum 5.7 sq ft), and well depth per Florida Building Code. This consultation takes 30-45 minutes and identifies any obstacles like utilities or soil conditions.
Excavation and Well Installation
Our crew excavates the exterior area, installs a prefabricated or custom-built egress well with proper slope and drainage systems. This step typically takes 4-6 hours and requires proper grading to prevent water pooling near Altamonte Springs, Longwood, or Sanford properties.
Window Frame Installation and Sealing
We install the egress window unit into the opening, secure the frame, apply weatherproof caulking and sealant, and install interior trim. Installation is completed within 1-2 hours per window.
Well Cover and Final Inspection
We install the exterior well grating or polycarbonate cover, ensuring proper clearance for emergency access. Final inspection confirms compliance with Florida code before project completion, typically within 2-3 days total.
