Basement Transformations Made Easy with I Cut It Foundation Solutions For homeowners looking to expand their living space, add value to their property, or meet legal safety requirements for basement bedrooms, I Cut It Foundation Solutions Inc. offers expert egress window installations. Owner Jerry Silcox started specializing in egress windows in January 2022, after years in the renovation industry, recognizing a growing demand for safe and legal basement bedrooms. “Adding an egress window provides a second escape route from the basement beyond the stairs,” says Jerry. “For homeowners renting out their basement, it’s a necessary step to ensure safety and compliance. Plus, it increases property value by allowing more bedrooms in the home.” I Cut It Foundation Solutions transforms existing basement windows into larger, code-compliant egress windows or even doors. They handle the entire process, including obtaining permits and working with BCIN-certified designers. In most cases, they can add a window or door wherever a homeowner wants one, making previously dark and enclosed basements feel more open and functional. “We’re known for our expertise in egress window installations,” Jerry explains. “Unlike many window companies, we take care of the entire process ourselves, which means homeowners don’t have to deal with delays caused by subcontractors.” A typical egress window installation takes just one to three days. The team manages everything from excavation to finishing work, including:
• Excavating and installing the window well • Installing drainage tile • Cutting and removing concrete • Framing openings and installing windows or doors • Handling structural framing when needed • Completing interior demolition, drywall, painting, and finishing touches • Using licensed contractors for HVAC, electrical, and plumbing as required
Jerry sees basement renovations as a growing necessity, especially as hous- ing prices continue to rise. “Many young adults are staying in their parents’ homes longer, or people are moving back in with family after struggling with un- affordable mortgages. Creating safe, legal basement bedrooms is a practi- cal solution.” He takes pride in making installations
seamless and non-intrusive, ensuring minimal disruption to homeowners. “We use wet saws to control dust and water, and we even hang a bladder on the inside of the foundation wall to catch debris. We’ve completed installations in finished basements with carpeted floors and pool tables right next to our workspace.” Jerry’s goal is to make every new window or door look like it was part of the original house design. “I love my job because every home is different. It keeps things interesting, and at the end of the day, I know we’re helping homeowners maximize their space and investment.”
