Tight, dry replacement windows for basements, with vinyl or secure options and proper sealing against moisture.
Basement windows live in a hard place. They sit near the ground, collect splashes and leaves and often leak air and water. Old steel and wood basement windows rust and rot, and glass block can be cold and hard to ventilate. We replace basement windows with units made for the job, sealed against moisture and secure against intruders. Homeowners in Nashville replace them to make the basement drier, warmer and brighter.
We look at the foundation opening, the sill and the surrounding grade. We recommend a window type, such as a vinyl slider, hopper or fixed unit, with glass that suits the use of the space. We remove the old window, repair the opening, install the new unit with sealant and flashing and trim the inside. We also talk about grading, gutters and window wells, since water outside decides whether the window stays dry.
Vinyl and composite frames do not rust or rot, and the right sealant and flashing keep water out of the opening.
Hopper and slider units open for air and lock for security, and we can discuss privacy or tempered glass.
A window that sits below grade needs a well or good grading, or water will find it.
We can replace old glass block with operable windows for light and air.
