[quote=Anonymous]It depends on the current size and above/below ground. There are minimum codes for an egress window. You can dig outside and install one but it would be very costly - at least several thousand plus the window. We just paid someone $700 to enlarge the hole for our basement window but we should have DIY'ed (did a lousy job). If it is above ground, its much easier and just cut down and install new window and framing. Our new windows were about $400 each, plus $200 for framing and other supplies (DIY end of installing and framing). So, for us, its around $2000, so I'd guess $5-8,000 for a full job.[/quote]
