Many homes throughout Lakewood, Colorado were built between the 1960s and early 2000s and still have original basement windows that do not meet modern safety codes. We frequently work with homeowners throughout Lakewood, including neighborhoods near Belmar, Green Mountain, and areas surrounding St. Anthony Hospital. Installing an egress window can:

• Provide a safe emergency exit
• Make a basement bedroom legal and code compliant
• Add natural light and ventilation
• Increase home value

We handle the entire process from start to finish including necessary permits, excavation, window well installation, drainage correction, and finishing trim work.

Many homes in Lakewood have older basement windows and window wells, which makes proper drainage evaluation especially important before installation. This is particularly important throughout Jefferson County, where varying elevations and neighborhood layouts can influence how water drains around foundations.

Before installing an egress window or replacing a window well, we carefully evaluate the surrounding foundation, grading, and drainage conditions. With the increased rainfall the Denver metro area has experienced in the past few years, proper drainage around basement windows has become especially important.

By identifying potential water concerns before installation, we can address grading and site conditions that help ensure water flows away from the window well and foundation. Our process also includes evaluating attachment points, surrounding soil conditions, and potential corrosion issues to help ensure the longevity of the egress window installation.

Our foundation & drainage services include:

• Foundation inspection

• Drainage evaluation (including gutter systems)
• Sump pump inspection (if applicable)
• Landscaping evaluation
• Grading inspection and correction when necessary
• Proper window well attachment and corrosion prevention

Our team regularly installs egress windows for homeowners throughout Lakewood, particularly in neighborhoods with older basement windows or aging steel window wells. Many of our recent projects have involved replacing deteriorated window wells and installing code-compliant egress windows for homeowners finishing basements or adding legal bedrooms.

We frequently work in Lakewood neighborhoods including:

• Green Mountain
• Applewood
• Belmar
• Lakewood Estates

In many of these homes, installing a properly sized egress window not only improves basement safety but also brings more natural light and ventilation into basement living spaces.
