Cost
We read the pages basement window installers publish, keep only what we can tie to a specific job, and show you where every number came from. No averages, no sponsored order, and no estimate of your particular basement.
The window, bought direct
Manufacturer list price across 5 models, 3 of them code-compliant for egress.
The job, done by a contractor
24 prices published by 9 installers across 7 states, each one named and dated.
Two questions, two pages
The gap between them is most of the bill. One cuts concrete, the other drops a unit into an opening that already exists.
What the collection actually holds
We would rather show you two dozen prices you can click through to than a national average nobody can check. Here is the whole of it, today.
Each one read off a page the company publishes itself, and dated.
Named on the page, linked, and never paid to appear.
CO, IA, IN, MN, OH, PA, RI. Prices move with the market, so this matters.
How we get these numbers
Every amount goes through three independent checks before it is allowed on the site, and we throw out far more than we keep. We also separate the price of a window from the price of a job: mixing the two produces a range that describes nothing.
Companies that never answer us stay listed with whatever they publish publicly, and giving us prices does not move anyone up a page.
