How it works

1. You call or send a request

   Tell us your town and what you need: a new egress window for a basement bedroom, a bigger opening in an existing window, a new well, a cover, or help after an inspector or appraiser flagged the basement.

2. We connect you with a local company

   Calls and requests go to an independent egress window or foundation cutting company that serves La Crosse County and nearby Minnesota.

3. The company handles the job

   They quote, schedule and do the work. Pricing, warranties and terms come from them directly.

What we are and aren't

La Crosse Egress Windows is a referral service, not a contractor. We don't send crews or employ technicians, and we don't set prices. Using the site is free for homeowners.

In Wisconsin, a contractor needs a Dwelling Contractor certification and a certified Dwelling Contractor Qualifier to pull a building permit on a one- or two-family home, and the City of La Crosse requires a permit even for window replacement. In La Crescent and the rest of Minnesota, a company that contracts with you for work in more than one skill area, such as excavation, concrete and carpentry, generally needs a residential building contractor or remodeler license from the Department of Labor and Industry. Ask for the credential, who pulls the permit, how the opening will be supported, and a written contract that lists the window, the well and the warranty.
