The Hill Changes the Math
Federal Hill's rowhouses climb the slope below the park, and that slope is actually good news for egress work. On the downhill side, the grade sits higher against the house — which can mean a shallower well and less digging. On the uphill side, the basement sits deeper and the well goes further down. We read the grade on every Federal Hill visit and put the window where the slope works for you, not against you.
Rear Additions and Tight Lots
Many Federal Hill rowhouses have rear additions — kitchens and family rooms bumped out over the years. That complicates the rear wall: the addition's foundation may differ from the original, and the well has to fit the new footprint. We map both during the free visit and plan the opening around the actual structure, not the assumed one.
Rentals Near the Park
Federal Hill has a heavy rental mix — young professionals in converted rowhouses, basement units included. If you rent a basement bedroom, the egress window is the safety baseline your tenants deserve and your rental inspection expects. We have brought plenty of Federal Hill basement units into compliance.
