Window Well Covers Designed for Grand Rapids Homes

In a city that sees heavy snowfall, rapid spring melts, and sudden summer storms, Grand Rapids homeowners can’t afford to leave their basement window wells unprotected. Whether you live near the Medical Mile or out by Cascade Township, our custom window well covers offer the protection your home needs — with clean, low-profile designs built to fit your exact well dimensions and built to endure the weather patterns unique to West Michigan.

A City of Changing Weather and Classic Homes

Grand Rapids homes span every style — from century-old colonials in Heritage Hill to new builds in Forest Hills. But one thing many of them share is a vulnerable point: open basement window wells.

Without a protective cover, these wells can fill quickly with leaves, snow, rainwater, and even pests. And over time, that exposure leads to rust, rot, and costly water intrusion. That’s why more and more homeowners in this region are turning to professionally built covers that are made to match the architecture and climate of their home.

Local Knowledge, Local Installs

We’ve worked with homeowners throughout Kent County and know the neighborhoods that make up the Grand Rapids metro area. That includes:

  • Eastown and Fulton Heights
  • Alger Heights and Garfield Park
  • Creston and Belknap Lookout
  • Kentwood, Wyoming, and Ada
  • East Grand Rapids and Cascade

We understand the construction quirks and foundation types that come with each part of the city — and we tailor our work accordingly.

Built for Your Home — Not the Hardware Store
No two properties in Grand Rapids are alike. That’s why our process starts with a visit to your home, where we take precise measurements of your wells — whether they’re shallow and narrow or deep egress-style with ladder access.

We then fabricate a custom cover that fits snugly and blends into the home’s exterior. It won’t warp, rattle, or discolor, and it’s strong enough to support hundreds of pounds — perfect for homes with kids or pets. The design keeps out debris and water while still allowing sunlight into the lower level.

Weather Tough, Year-Round
Grand Rapids averages over 70 inches of snow per year — and that snow doesn’t just fall, it melts, refreezes, and piles up again. Add in April rainstorms and humid July weather, and you’ve got a tough climate for basements.

Our window well covers are made from high-impact, UV-resistant polycarbonate and powder-coated aluminum components. They won’t crack in sub-zero temps or buckle under lake-effect snow. Homes near the Grand River or in lower-lying areas benefit especially from the added protection these covers provide.

Window Well Covers FAQs:

Yes — our covers are engineered for heavy snow loads common in West Michigan. Whether you live near East Grand Rapids or out by Walker, you can count on your cover to stay in place and resist cracking, even in harsh freeze-thaw cycles.

Absolutely. We specialize in retrofitting covers to older, non-standard wells. If your home has stone, concrete, or rusted metal surrounds — common in historic neighborhoods — we’ll measure and fabricate a solution that fits securely without damaging the existing structure.

Yes. By keeping water, debris, and snow out of your wells, our covers reduce the chance of moisture creeping into your foundation. This is especially helpful in low-lying areas near the Grand River or homes with clay-heavy soil that retains water.

Most installations take under an hour. Once we’ve taken measurements and built your custom cover, we schedule a convenient time to return and complete the install. We service all of Kent County, including Wyoming, Ada, and Kentwood.

Yes — for egress wells, we offer options with easy lift-off or hinged escape access that meet code requirements. If you’re in a newer development near Forest Hills or Cascade, we’ll make sure your cover provides safety without blocking emergency exits.
