Windows & Doors Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Chicopee, MA called us when he realized that he needed better basement windows. Unfortunately, some of the windows in his home were missing or inefficient, meaning there was a lot of conditioned air being loss and even more outside air getting in.

Luckily for this homeowner, we were able to remedy this problem. We replaced his old and inefficient windows with our Everlast™ basement windows. These windows feature double pane glass that is treated to reduce heat flow in or out of the glass. They also have vinyl frames and sashes -- meaning they will not rust, rot, or need paint. They are aesthetically pleasing as well! This homeowner now will have less air leakage and a more temperature controlled basement.

Steps from your basement to the outdoors are convenient, but the (metal) hatch doors that cover them are completely uninsulated and leak lots of air. Cold winter air gets sucked into your home continually in winter. In summer, warm humid hair enters the basement and causes condensation on cool floors, walls, and ducts. Results - Cold basement, cold floors on the first floor, drafts higher heating/fuel costs, condensation in summer, higher electric costs for A/C. Proper framing is installed and a new insulated exterior door with weather-stripping  and locking knob is installed. Now, "inside" the house is inside the door, and "outside" is outside the door, so it doesn't matter that the hatch door is uninsulated and leaks air. Results - Warmer basement and floors over the basement, drier basement in the summer, lower fuel and electric costs, less drafts, house is easier to heat, more security.

This homeowner in South Hadley, MA called us when she wanted to get her basement insulated. When our Home Comfort Specialist arrived, he noted that there was not a door at the bottom of the basement stairs. These stairs led up to a bulkhead door, and therefore to the outside. This was an issue, as this means that there is no insulation between the stairway and the outside air -- making the entire basement considered "outside" rather than "inside", no matter how much insulation we put in the rest of the basement.

We helped this customer by installing a new door in their home. We built custom framing to fit the dimensions of the doorway in place. Then, we installed a insulated exterior door with weather stripping. Now, the entire basement is "inside" the door instead of outside. No more uncomfortable, cold basement. 

This homeowner in Somers, CT called us hoping that we would be able to fix some of the issues his home was having with cold rooms. When our Home Comfort Specialist arrived in the home, they realized that one of the issues they were having was that their windows were inefficient and thin. There was a lot of conditioned air being loss and even more outside air getting in.

Luckily for this homeowner, we were able to help them out with this. We replaced the old and inefficient windows with our Everlast™ basement windows. These windows feature double pane glass that is treated to reduce heat flow in or out of the glass. They also have vinyl frames and sashes -- meaning they will not rust, rot, or need paint. This homeowner now will have less air leakage in and out of their home as well as a more temperature controlled basement. Plus, it no longer has a rusty, old appearance. 

This homeowner in Somers, CT called us hoping we would be able to replace their old, unattractive bulkhead door. They were not interested in having their old one anymore as it did not look the best and was showing its age. 

Luckily, Fogarty's Home Services was able to help this homeowner. We were able to install a beautiful new bulkhead door in their home. We caulked around the edges and installed flashing behind the door to ensure a tight fit.  Combining this with our other solutions ensures that this homeowner will have a safe, warm, and dry basement for years to come!
