Good question! The cost to do this back on 10/5/2023 was exactly $4840.00 without tax, and was 5227.20 with tax. I bet it would be slightly higher today with inflation. I got several bids to do this project ranging from $10,000 to as low as $3000. I went with the middle option as cost was not the only factor in my decision.

@@MillennialRick do you pay taxes on labor in your state? I assume a majority of that cost was for the labor and only a small portion of it was for purchasing an actual good.

Straight forward footage! Nice job! Thank you for sharing! But you could have done the entire thing by yourself using a grinder with a 5” masonry blade!!!

how much was for labor and how much was for the actual casement window? how much did you save by excavating yourself?
@MillennialRick

I saved $1500 on digging it out myself. The cost of the window was not disclosed as it went through a privet suppler. Most contractors will not disclose cost of materials unless you buy them yourself, you can get around this by buying all of the martials that will be used. However they may not provide warranty on any of the work they do claiming "you bought the parts so if the parts fail its not on me." Good rule of thumb, the cost of hiring anything is usually double the cost of the materials used on the project.

Window flashing is so overrated, especially for windows below grade that will rarely if ever see any sort of moisture.

Right! The installer did you a disservice by not installing head flashing, and sill flashing prior to window installation. Then he didn't use flashing over the nailing flange prior to installing trim. Guess he thought Big Stretch was all the was needed.

@@matthewpotratz2653 Yes I did I put a thick pice of pexi glass on it and cut it to fit. The window is also able to move it out of the way when you open it. There is also a company called the "window bubble" however there custom well covers are expensive.

I did an egress window myself, the digging was the hardest work. I have concrete block and it was easy to cut with just a masonry blade on a cheap circular saw (doing cuts on both sides). Lots of dust so I used plastic to try to seal in the space and a fan blowing out, but with a respirator it wasn't bad. My costs were just some pressured treated lumber, a couple masonry blades, the new egress window well, some decorative gravel, and the window...a few hundred dollars total.

"Installing a Egress Window" is not correct English. The title to this video should read "Installing an Egress Window".
