Egress Windows in Clarkson Valley, Missouri

Clarkson Valley homes and this kind of project

Because Clarkson Valley is made up of large traditional homes from the 1970s and 1980s, the first thing we check for an egress window here is the outside of the wall for gas, electric, AC lines and downspout drains, and the framing load above.

The housing stock here: large 1970s and 1980s traditional homes on lots of about an acre.

Poured eight-inch walls from these decades cut cleanly with a wet saw.

Foundations and basements in Clarkson Valley

Large basements, often with a dated finish including a wet bar and paneling. They rebuild into excellent modern lower levels.

Homes built in Clarkson Valley between the late 1970s and the 2000s nearly all have full poured basements, and a large share were finished once already by an owner or handyman, often without permits. We open a few walls before quoting, because what is behind them decides whether this is a refresh or a rebuild.

What is included

On Clarkson Valley jobs we restore the yard as we go: sod or seed and straw over disturbed areas, and spoils hauled off rather than left in a pile behind the garage.

We take on egress window work across Clarkson Valley, from Kehrs Mill Road estates to neighborhoods around Forest Hills Country Club.

What we watch for

Heavy clay around Clarkson Valley foundations means a well with no drain will fill like a bucket. We will not install one without a path for the water.

Working on lots of about an acre, as we do in Clarkson Valley, we plan access for an excavator, a concrete cutter and carpenters before the first delivery arrives.

Clarkson Valley is I-64 to Clarkson Road, about thirty-five minutes from our Wentzville base. We plan crew days and deliveries around that drive so you get full working days on site.

What moves the price in Clarkson Valley

We price egress windows in Clarkson Valley from a site visit, not a square-foot figure. These are the items that change the number.

• Well type: galvanized steel, composite stepped wells that look like stone, or site-built timber or block.
• Drain connection method.
