Why Side Entrances and Egress Windows Matter?
Legal requirements usually call for both a separate entry and an egress window whether you are renovating a basement or turning it into a supplementary suite. These additions, however, have great advantages even if you intend not to let others use the space:
Code Compliance:
Match Ontario Building Code and City of Barrie legal basement unit standards. Egress windows provide a safe departure point should a fire or other disaster strike.
Enhanced Privacy:
A separate side entry lets visitors or tenants come and leave without upsetting the rest of the house.
Higher Property Value:
Homes with legal basement access appeal more to investors and buyers.


Rent Income Ready:
Legal and market-ready your basement unit.
Our specialty at Yam Home Renovation is designing appealing, safe, smooth entry points that fit very nicely with the outside and interior style of your house.
