Basement Finishing Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Otis, MA needed a new window in order to ensure that he would have a secondary way to get out of his basement in case of emergency. Unfortunately, there was not a pre-existing window in the basement, as is often the case. Additionally, there was not a straightforward spot to put the window due to the terrain around the home.

Luckily, Fogarty's was able to identify a spot that the window would be able to go into. We then marked off where the mini-excavator should remove dirt, rocks, and other material from around the space. We then measured out and marked where the window would ideally go. We found that putting the window in the closet would be the best spot, and marked that part of the drywall and tore it out.  On the outside, we prepped and cut the foundation so that it would fit the egress window. We then framed the window and installed it. Once we finished that, we were able to install the window well around it. The homeowner and his family loved the window, and their basement will stay safe and comfortable for years to come! 

This homeowner in Plymouth, CT contacted us with concerns about leaky windows. Badly installed, old, or just plain leaky windows with poor insulation let air you pay to heat seep OUT in the winter as well as the intense heat of the sun come IN during the summer. 

Our Sunrise Windows coupled with injected foam keep drafts out for good. We remove the old window and install our new ones! We then finish with wood or decorative plastic wainscoting to keep the home beautiful inside and out!

To help provide the homeowners with a nice finished look in their basement we created a cover for the sump pump. 

This homeowner in Pittsfield, MA had old, leaky basement windows. Single pane glass windows with metal frames let lots of cold air leak into your home.

We removed those old windows and replaced them with our high efficiency double pane glass windows which let in light while still blocking most of the heat flow.

Thanks to Dr Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this homeowner now has beautiful basement windows to keep the home comfortable whether it's hot or cold.
