Window Wells and Egress Windows

Old basement windows leak, let in cold air, and create entry points for pests. Deteriorated metal window wells fill with leaves and water, increasing the risk of basement flooding. DBS installs the EverLast™ Basement Window, SunHouse™ Window Well System, and Egress Windows to create a safer, waterproof, energy-efficient basement. Our window wells and egress windows improve drainage, increase natural light, provide emergency escape access, and require little to no maintenance.

EverLast™ Windows and SunHouse™ Wells: Window Wells and Egress Windows Solutions

A Complete Basement Window System

Most basement windows are small, single-pane units that were installed decades ago. The frames corrode, the seals fail, and the glass fogs. Window Wells and Egress Windows can prevent water from entering around deteriorated frame seals. Cold air drafts through every gap. The windows contribute to heating costs and basement humidity.

The combination of EverLast windows and SunHouse window wells addresses all of these problems in one installation. The window provides a waterproof, thermally efficient replacement. The well provides drainage, light, and a clean exterior appearance that complements the landscaping.

EverLast windows — waterproof, energy efficient, airtight
SunHouse wells — polycarbonate lid lets in light, keeps out water
Both products made from inorganic materials — will never rust or rot
Gravel bed in SunHouse well provides drainage at the base
Compatible with basement waterproofing and drainage systems
Available in multiple sizes and finishes

EverLast™ Basement Windows:

Waterproof, Efficient, Maintenance-Free

Window wells and egress windows, standard basement windows, use painted wood or metal frames that corrode and eventually allow water and cold air to enter around the perimeter. EverLast windows use inorganic frames that will not rust, rot, or require paint ever.

The combination of EverLast windows and SunHouse window wells addresses all of these problems in one installation. The window provides a waterproof, thermally efficient replacement. The well provides drainage, light, and a clean exterior appearance that complements the landscaping.

Frame material Inorganic — will not rust, rot, or need paint
Seal Airtight and waterproof at wall interface
Maintenance None required after installation
Available sizes Multiple sizes to fit standard openings
Glass options Standard and energy-efficient available

Egress Window Installation:

Meeting Code and Improving Safety

Building codes require egress windows in basement bedrooms and finished living areas — a large enough opening for occupants to escape and for emergency personnel to enter. Many older homes do not have compliant egress windows in basement sleeping areas.

DBS Repair installs egress windows and the oversized SunHouse window wells required to accommodate them. The installation brings the basement into code compliance, adds natural light, and is typically required if the basement is to be used as a legal bedroom or habitable space.

Meets building code requirements for basement sleeping areas
Adds significant natural light to previously dim basement spaces
Required for legal basement bedroom or habitable space designation
SunHouse wells sized for egress opening requirements
Increases usable and legally permitted basement square footage

Trevor and Corbin worked non stop on both sides of our duplex. Eventho mold removal was not on my original work order, they got that taken cars of too. Kept me up to date on everything. And then the final walk through was so educational. I didn’t know how much DBS can do with a basement to make the foundation so much more stable. I am so satisfied with their work, and I’m a nick picker. Thank you guys for all your hard work and making our place a safer place to live.

Despite not having the funds on have to get the work done right away, Myke was honest, upfront, and knowledgeable about the solutions needed to address my weeping basement walls. He provided a thorough and truthful assessment of my basement’s condition without applying any sales pressure. Instead, he focused on explaining practical options to solve the problem and help mitigate the current issues. This alone earned my trust and desire to work with DBS.

The job was done quickly but well. The installers were courteous and went to great lengths in explaining the work that was done and how to monitor it in the future. I would highly recommend DBS for any basement work.

I had Luke take care of my Basement SaniDry dehumidifier which I originally had installed in 2018. It really works wonderfully but showed needing refrigerant about every 10 months. This means sending it in and after the 5 year warranty the hassle and cost seemed unreasonable. DBS did well by me and I feel confident recommending this service.. Luke is very knowledgeable and able to provide the information I needed in lay person terms which I really appreciated.

Thank you DBS, Jake was very professional and explained everything that they would do to stop water coming into the main building at Northwood Children Services . Jake explained that all work done was a lifetime warranty. I was expecting a very high quote but the quote was very reasonable . A decision was made right away to schedule DBS to do the work. I would highly recommend DBS for any repairs you may need done to stop water leaks in basements or a commercial buildings. Michael Smith Northwood Children Services!

DBS provided a complete solution to our wet basement problem and continue to respond to our maintenance requirements. A recent visit to replace the main sump pump was completed quickly and the technician answered all our questions and explained the operation of the entire system in detail. We have complete confidence in the installation and maintenance process. We now can relax knowing our home is safe.

RockWell Egress Windows: A Safer, Brighter Basement
