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.

This homeowner wanted to reduce heat loss in his basement.  Single pane glass windows with metal frames let lots of cold air leak into the basement.  They also allow heat to escape by conduction through the cold glass.  Our Team installed our Everlast sliding basement windows with double pane glass.  These windows have a special metallic "Low E" coating on the inside to reduce heat flow through the glass.  The new windows look great and will reduce overall air leakage in the home.

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 Springfield, MA called us hoping to get her bulkhead door replaced. Their bulkhead door was old, wooden, and rotting, and was therefore in need of replacement. 

Luckily, Fogarty's Home Services was able to help this customer. We were able to install a beautiful new bulkhead door. We caulked around the edges and installed flashing behind the door to ensure a tight fit. Now, it looks amazing, and the homeowner is happy! 

This homeowner in Longmeadow, MA called us hoping that we would be able to help him with his home. It was having a consistent water problem that was not being helped by their current mitigation system. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he noted that the biggest issue they were having with actual water in the home was because it was coming in through their open window wells. Open metal window wells let leaves and debris collect in them, blocking light to the basement. Rain gets in, and water from over flooding gutters cascades into the window wells. Weeds grow in the window wells since they have no bottom, and mud splashes up against the window glass. And let’s face it - they are ugly! Results - Constant maintenance, far less natural light to the basement, and they are ugly!

We had the perfect solution for this customer -- the SunHouse™ Basement Window Enclosure! The window enclosure is a bright color and has a bottom to reflect much more light into the basement. The bottom prevents weeds from growing and mud doesn’t splash against the windows. SunHouses™ have a sturdy matching clear cover to keep rain and leaves out, and it keeps the wind from blowing against the windows.
