Wheat Ridge is known for its mid-century homes, many of which were built between the 1950s and 1970s. These homes often have original basement windows that were not designed to meet today’s egress requirements.

Common conditions we see include:

• Small basement windows that do not meet code 
• Older steel window wells showing signs of corrosion 
• Limited natural light in basement spaces 
• Outdated window openings that need to be enlarged

For homeowners finishing basements or adding bedrooms, installing a code-compliant egress window is typically required to meet building standards and improve safety.

Proper drainage plays an important role in long-term performance, especially in older neighborhoods where grading may have changed over time.

Before installation, we evaluate the following:

• existing grading around the home 
• drainage and runoff patterns 
• gutter and downspout placement 
• soil conditions near the foundation

By addressing these factors during installation, we help reduce the risk of water accumulation and improve the durability of the window well system.

We install egress windows throughout Wheat Ridge, including homes near:

• Crown Hill Park 
• Wheat Ridge Greenbelt
