Ernie Pinner

Co-Owner

As a second-generation contractor, I’ve spent over 20 years in the industry, with deep roots in masonry work. For the past 15 years, I’ve specialized in installing egress systems, witnessing firsthand the growing demand for safer, smarter, and more functional basements.

Recognizing this demand, my partner, Mike Rizzotti, and I made the decision to focus exclusively on egress solutions—leading to the creation of The Egress Experts. Over the last six years, we’ve installed thousands of egress windows and walkouts, helping homeowners enhance both the safety and livability of their spaces.

Our mission is simple: to make basements safer, smarter, and brighter

than ever before. The greatest reward? Seeing the look of satisfaction and excitement on our customers’ faces when they experience the transformation.

Co-Owner

I've always loved working with my hands and building things—even from a young age. Once I realized I could turn that passion into a career, I never looked back. What I love most about construction is the transformation—the before and after. Seeing the impact of our work and knowing we’ve made a difference is what drives me.

In business, I’ve learned that success isn’t just about the product—it’s about the customer’s happiness. At the end of the day, they’re the ones living with the results, and their satisfaction is what matters most. That’s what led me to the world of egress windows—where craftsmanship, customer satisfaction, and rewarding transformations all come together.

My partner Ernie and I are committed to delivering the best possible product. Egress windows don’t just improve a home—they make basements safer and bring peace of mind. More than that, we strive to give our customers an experience with a contractor that exceeds expectations. We set ourselves apart by being owner-operators who are honest, reliable, and highly skilled in our trade.

Our goal? To make the entire process as seamless and personal as possible—giving every customer a result they can trust and a home they feel safer in.
