What we build

Five jobs, each one starts at the wall

Every job begins with the way out. The rest of the room is built around it.

  • Egress windows

    Cut or enlarge the opening, set the window, trim inside.

    Egress windows
  • Window wells

    Wells with a drain, a ladder if the depth asks for one, and a cover.

    Window wells
  • Basement bedrooms

    A room that counts as a bedroom: way out, ceiling, alarms, heat.

    Basement bedrooms
  • Basement baths

    Rough-in at the right depth, a drain or pump, a bath you can wash.

    Basement baths
  • Walk-out stairwells

    A door where the wall meets the yard, with steps and a drain.

    Walk-out stairwells

Which opening

Three ways to get a way out

Which one fits depends on the wall, the ground outside and the room.
