Get an instant price estimate

Answer four quick questions about your basement to see a realistic price range — no phone call required.

Your estimated price range

This is a preliminary range based on typical Long Island installs, not a binding quote. Your exact price is confirmed after a free on-site visit, which also lets us check for any hidden factors like utility lines or drainage issues.

See what a legal basement bedroom could add

An egress window lets you legally count basement square footage as livable space. Enter your basement size to see a rough illustration of the added value.

Rough illustrative estimate

This is a simplified illustration only — it applies a typical below-grade valuation discount to your local price per square foot. Actual added value depends on comparable sales, your home's overall condition, and your local market. Talk to a Long Island real estate agent for a precise number.

Find the egress code for your town

Select your Long Island town or village to see which building department handles your permit, and the baseline requirements that apply.

All of Long Island falls under the same state code, but your permit and inspection are handled locally.

Minimum net clear opening5.7 sq ft
Minimum opening width20 in
Minimum opening height24 in
Maximum sill height above floor44 in
Min. window well horizontal projection36 in
Ladder required if well depth exceeds44 in
These figures reflect the Residential Code of New York State, Section R310 — the statewide baseline for both Nassau and Suffolk County. They're a starting point, not a substitute for an official code review; your town's building department has final say.

Selling a home with an unpermitted basement bedroom?

An open permit or a bedroom without a legal egress window can stall — or kill — a closing. We work directly with agents and inspectors to get these resolved fast, often before the home even hits the market.

Ask about our standing referral program: a flat referral credit for every closed job that comes from an agent or inspector partner.

How it works for agents

Send us the listing address and any inspection notes. We'll assess whether the basement bedroom meets code, give you a same-week install timeline if it doesn't, and provide closeout paperwork you can hand straight to the buyer's attorney.
