New Egress Basement Windows in Colchester, Vermont | Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems
Challenge
The homeowner in Colchester, Vermont, wanted to improve the basement with a larger, more functional window system. The existing basement window was small, low to the ground, and did not bring much natural light into the space. The area outside the window also needed to be opened up and properly prepared for a full egress window installation.
After inspecting the existing window location and the exterior area around the foundation, our team determined that an egress window and window well would be the best solution. The project required excavation, removal of the old window setup, and installation of a new window well system designed to provide a cleaner and more usable opening.
Solution
Our crew excavated the exterior area around the existing basement window and prepared the foundation opening for the new egress window. Once the area was ready, the new egress window and window well were installed to create a larger, more functional basement window system. After the installation was complete, the exterior area was backfilled, graded, and finished with straw to help restore the yard around the work area. The finished result gave the home a clean exterior appearance while greatly improving the basement window setup.
