Not every basement window project is the same.

This one was especially challenging.

We installed two egress windows in load-bearing foundation walls. Both openings required engineering approval and structural reinforcement.

One window was reinforced using a steel angle lintel. The second window was installed higher than usual, with part of the opening extending into the wood framing. Because of that, a standard steel angle wasn't an option. Instead, we built a custom wood header reinforcement designed specifically for this project and approved by the engineer.

This project also features PlyGem Comfort Line windows. I've only recently started installing this series. While they cost more than the Base Line, they come with triple-pane glass, improved insulation, and a much stronger frame, making them a great choice for energy efficiency and long-term performance.

Here's a behind-the-scenes look at the project—from the original windows to the finished result.

What do you think of the transformation?

Another basement transformed. 💪

This project included: ✔️ 2 basement window cutouts ✔️ 1 window replacement ✔️ Walkway concrete cutting ✔️ Steel angle (metal lintel) support installation ✔️ Professional interior finishing

Every basement is different, but our goal is always the same—safe, code-compliant, and clean installations built to last.

Another brighter basement. Another happy homeowner.

Another basement transformed! 🏡

This project included the installation of a new 35" × 30" casement basement window with complete interior finishing.

For structural support, we installed a primed steel lintel above the opening. A new window well was installed and finished with washed drainage rock.

Before any excavation began, we requested utility locates to ensure there were no underground gas, electrical, or communication lines in the work area. Safety always comes first.

The installation is complete, the site is fully cleaned up, and another homeowner now has a brighter, safer, and more functional basement.
