Benefit 1: Safety

Nothing is more important than your family’s safety. 

With Brighter Basements’ egress windows you can rest assured that your loved ones can escape from your basement living areas in the event of a fire or other emergency.

International Building Codes now require that all finished living spaces be equipped with a secure basement window. Whether you use your basement for a home office, a rental apartment, or a spare bedroom for your parents or grandchildren, an egress window well installed by Brighter Basements will comply with building codes and help keep your family safe.

Benefit 2: More Space to Live

Is your family bursting at the seams of your home? Are you welcoming an aging parent or visiting grandchildren into your home? Perhaps you’d like to add a rental unit in your basement. Or create an office space to work from home. A basement renovation gives you the additional living space you need.

Transforming your basement into living space becomes a viable option when you install Brighter Basements egress windows. When you comply with international building codes you can use the space of your basement for living not just storage.

Benefit 3: Increased Home Value

Thinking of selling your home? Imagine increasing the value of your home by adding a legal bedroom without the expense of building an addition. That’s the power of converting dark, damp basement space into bright, comfortable living space with egress window installation by Brighter Basements. In our initial consultation, we’ll recommend that you contact a trusted real estate agent to estimate how much resale value an egress window installation could add to your home.

Or if you’re not selling your home, consider the added income you could enjoy by converting your basement into a rental apartment unit. Brighter Basement egress windows make it possible.

Step 4: Comfort

Ask most home-buyers what they’re looking for in a home, and they’ll tell you “bright rooms with lots of natural light.” Hardly a description most of us would use to describe our basement.

With Brighter Basements egress wells, you bring lots of natural light and fresh air into your basement so you can be as comfortable downstairs as on the upper levels of your home. No more dark shadows and damp corners. Let the beautiful Colorado sun shine in through your new basement egress windows.
