Protecting Detroit Basements — One Window Well at a Time
Detroit homeowners know how unpredictable Michigan weather can be — heavy lake-effect snow in winter, sudden downpours in spring, and long stretches of summer heat. In neighborhoods from Rosedale Park to East English Village, uncovered window wells can quickly become a problem, allowing water, leaves, and even animals to enter. Our custom-built window well covers offer long-term protection, made specifically for the wide range of home styles and foundations found across the Motor City.
A City Full of Character (and Basements That Need Protection)
From stately brick colonials in Sherwood Forest to the craftsman bungalows near Corktown, Detroit homes were built to last. But many of those homes include basement-level windows surrounded by old metal or concrete wells — and without proper coverage, those wells invite problems. Falling debris, standing water, pests, and snow buildup can all lead to basement moisture issues and structural damage.
Whether your house was built in 1925 or 2020, a window well is only as good as its cover. That’s where we come in.
Custom Covers for the Motor City
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Every window well cover we install is designed specifically for your home’s shape, materials, and placement. After a quick visit for measurements, we fabricate a durable, low-profile cover that blends seamlessly into the exterior — whether that’s red brick in Boston-Edison or stone veneer in Midtown.
Covers are clear, strong, and made to handle the weight of snow, pets, and foot traffic. Plus, they allow natural light into your lower level without letting in anything else.
Designed for Detroit’s Four Seasons
This city sees extremes. Ice and snow can build up quickly, especially in the neighborhoods near the Rouge River or along Jefferson Avenue. Then there’s the spring thaw, which brings standing water and potential flooding. Our covers are built for all of it — resisting cracking in cold temperatures, shedding water efficiently during storms, and locking out leaves during the fall.
If you’ve ever had to shovel snow out of your window wells after a blizzard or dry them out after a July storm, you already know how valuable a sealed cover can be.
What to Expect from Our Process
It all starts with a visit — no obligation, just honest insight. We’ll take measurements, answer questions, and provide a detailed quote. Once approved, your custom cover is fabricated locally and installed cleanly, often in under an hour. No mess. No hassle. Just long-lasting protection for your home’s most vulnerable points.
You don’t have to deal with hardware store kits or products that almost fit — our covers are exact, attractive, and made for Detroit basements.
Neighborhood Expertise Built In
Our team has worked all over the Detroit area — and we understand how different each neighborhood’s homes really are. That’s why we tailor each cover to match the property, the well type, and even the age of construction.
We frequently serve areas like:
- Palmer Woods
- Indian Village
- University District
- Grandmont-Rosedale
- Bagley
- Woodbridge
- The Avenue of Fashion and its surrounding residential zones
And of course, we also work with clients in the surrounding suburbs — Ferndale, Dearborn, Grosse Pointe, and beyond.
