Need A Basement Window? Hire A Basement Company

So, you want to install a window in your basement.

Maybe you're turning your basement into a bedroom for a surly teenager and you've discovered that lovely part of the building code that indicates bedrooms must have a window. Maybe you want to add some light to a newly finished basement rec room. Maybe you already have a window but it's the stuff of nightmares. Maybe you're just tired of doing laundry in the dim, flickering lights reminiscent of a horror movie.

No matter the reason, you have decided you want to install a window in your basement. You should call one of those window companies you've seen on TV, right?

Wrong.

In the phrase "basement window," the most important aspect of that is "basement." Because installing a window involves cutting out part of a wall and, when that wall is the basement, part of the cutting will be underground.

Just sit for a second and imagine an inexperienced company cutting a hole in your basement window and the dirt just pouring in.

Windows - even those above ground - are notorious for the troubles they cause, the supposedly unavoidable gaps letting in drafts and upsetting your home's climate (and adding to your energy bills). This is the kind of problem you can't afford to have in your basement, where you're not only risking drafts, but also potential flooding from groundwater and uneven pressure from the surrounding soil compromising your walls' integrity.

Our EverLast Basement Windows are energy-efficient and framed with vinyl rather than metal or wood, which means they won't rot, rust, or need the usual upkeep that comes with windows. This is especially important when dealing with an area that will assuredly be hit with rain (and snow, and...you get the picture).

Working below grade takes a specific set of skills and knowledge, and plenty of experience - all of which we have in spades. By hiring a "basement company" instead of a "window company" to install your basement window, not only can you be assured that we'll install the right window, but we'll install it correctly.
