Egress Windows in Aurora, Ohio
Egress window installation for Aurora, OH. We handle Aurora's city permit process, not just Summit County — full-service installation from permit to inspection.
Aurora occupies a unique position in Northeast Ohio's suburban landscape — a Portage County community with a semi-rural character, larger lot sizes, and a mix of older farmhouse properties and newer planned developments near Aurora Farms and along SR 43. That diversity means we encounter a wider range of foundation types in Aurora than in most communities we serve.
Importantly, Aurora uses its own city building department — not Portage County's — for residential permits. Homeowners and contractors who aren't familiar with this distinction sometimes submit to the wrong office and experience delays. We know Aurora's permit process and handle every application correctly from the start.

Aurora Egress Window FAQ
Who issues egress window permits in Aurora, OH?
Aurora is in Portage County and has its own City of Aurora Building Department. Residential permits — including egress windows — are issued through Aurora's city office, not the Portage County building department. We handle this permit application, plans submission, and inspection scheduling as part of every Aurora installation.
Does Aurora, Ohio have egress window requirements?
Yes. Aurora follows Ohio's IRC Section R310 requirements, consistent statewide. Any basement bedroom requires at least one code-compliant egress window meeting the 5.7 sq ft minimum clear opening, 20-inch width, and 24-inch height. We design every installation to meet or exceed these minimums.
Aurora has larger lots — are there any differences in egress installation?
Lot size doesn't significantly affect egress installation — the work is focused on the foundation wall and immediate exterior. Older Aurora farmhouse properties may have stone or rubble foundations requiring custom lintel work. We assess foundation type during the estimate at no charge.
How much does an egress window cost in Aurora, OH?
A complete egress window installation in Aurora — including excavation, foundation cutting, window, well, drainage, waterproofing, interior finish, and Aurora city permit — typically runs $2,500 to $4,500 for standard poured concrete foundations. Stone or rubble foundations may be higher due to custom lintel requirements. All-inclusive written quotes provided before any work begins.
