Who installs custom window well covers in Minnesota?
For Minnesota homes, CoverUp Window Wells measures each well and makes a custom cover on site, with service in Minneapolis and other communities across the state. The Lexan and aluminum covers support as much as 800 lbs and come with a lifetime warranty. Call (612) 493-4317 to confirm availability where you live.
Long Minnesota winters are tough on basement window wells. By midwinter an open well can be packed with snow, and when it melts the water has nowhere to go except toward the window. CoverUp Window Wells makes custom covers for Minnesota homeowners that keep snow, rain and debris out while letting daylight through. Reach us at (612) 493-4317 to schedule a measurement.
Snow, Ice and Meltwater: The Minnesota Problem
Snow season here runs long, and the freeze and thaw cycle repeats again and again before spring arrives. Each melt sends water into low spots, and a window well is one of the lowest spots around a house. Ice that forms in the well can also make it harder to open an egress window when you need it. Later in the year, spring rain and falling leaves keep filling the well.
A cover sized to your well stops most of that from reaching the bottom. It also removes a fall hazard in the yard, which matters for anyone with kids, dogs or a lawn service crossing the property.
Covers, Grates and More
We make several products, each one cut to fit the wells at your address:
- Custom polycarbonate covers made of Lexan sheets resting on an aluminum frame of cross supports plus a doubled main support. They are strong enough to hold up to 800 lbs.
- Grates in powder-coated finishes, with mesh or bar designs, for wells where you want steel protection.
- Overlays that go on top of a grate you already have and keep the weather out.
- Window well picture scenes that give a basement room a nicer view than a dirt wall.
If a well itself is cracked, rusted or too small, we offer new window well installation and window well replacement. For a cover that has been damaged, ask about cover repair. All covers come with a lifetime, edge to edge warranty.
Built in Our Truck, Fitted the Same Visit
Your installer shows up with a work truck that carries the tools and materials to fabricate covers on the spot. After measuring each well, he builds the cover in the truck and brings it back to fit. Covers mount to the well, never to the house. Most use stainless steel clips, and egress wells can get an interior lock that releases from inside.
Nobody has to be home during the appointment. All we ask is that the gate is unlocked and an exterior outlet works. For questions about escape openings, read our egress code overview.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do the covers fog up or turn cloudy?
Our covers are made from clear Lexan polycarbonate, chosen because it is tough and lets natural light into the basement window.
What happens to the snow that lands on the cover?
It stays on top. With a load rating of 800 lbs, the cover lets you leave snow in place or brush it off when convenient, and the well underneath stays clear.
Is there a covers price list for Minnesota?
Each cover is custom, so we quote after measuring. Our article on window well cover cost explains what affects the price.
