Finishing a basement offers opportunities to expand your home’s number of bedrooms, when done correctly. But, adding a bedroom to a basement finishing project can increase its overall complexity in unexpected ways. According to the State of Wisconsin building code 21.03(5)(b), subterranean sleeping quarters require two legal exits, which often means egress windows must be added. J&J is familiar with these requirements and has experience building out legal basement bedrooms to comply with local and state building codes.
Windows leading to subterranean bedrooms offer more comfort through added light and ventilation, but they also provide an additional exit, which is required by WI law. Our team has plenty of experience incorporating egress windows into basement finishing plans, allowing homeowners to add to their bedroom count in safety and style.
