Egress Windows in McLean, VA

Luxury Basements Still Need the Code Minimums

McLean basements are not afterthoughts — they are home theaters, guest suites, and staff quarters finished to the same standard as the upstairs. But a $100,000 basement with a non-compliant bedroom window has the same code problem as any other basement. The egress window in a McLean home has two jobs: pass inspection like any other, and look like it belongs in a finished space. We do both.

Finish Quality Is the Differentiator

In these homes, the concrete cut is the easy part — the interior finish is where the job is judged. We trim the opening to match the room's existing millwork, protect high-end flooring like it is our own, and contain dust like a surgical suite. The well outside gets the same attention: clean lines, proper grading, and landscaping restored. When we leave, the only evidence is a beautiful window where a small one used to be.

Poured Walls, Deep Wells

McLean's newer homes sit on poured concrete walls — slower to cut, cleaner when done. The lots are generous, so well placement is rarely constrained, but the wells run deep on full basements and always get the code-required ladder and full drainage.
