About the service
I offer installation of polycarbonate covers on basement window wells — a simple solution that will save you from annual cleanup of leaves, branches, and dirt from the well and protect the window from rainwater and melted snow. This is not an emergency (evacuation) window installation or foundation waterproofing — I do not dig drainage or replace the window itself. My task is to cover the well from above with a strong transparent lid so that debris and water simply do not enter it.
Before installation, I always visit the site and take measurements of each well in place, because the shape and depth are different for everyone. I cut or order the cover to exact dimensions from polycarbonate of the required thickness, install it on fasteners designed for outdoor conditions so that wind gusts do not tear it off. I can make the cover hinged if the well is used as an emergency exit, or fixed permanently if it is purely a ventilation or light window — I will clarify with you in advance which option you need. After installation, I clean up all debris and check that the cover sits tightly and without gaps.
What is included in the service:
— Site visit and measurement of the well in place
— Fabrication or selection of a polycarbonate cover to size
— Fasteners designed for outdoor use
— Hinged or fixed installation option to choose from
— Well cleanup before cover installation
