ENLARGING WINDOWS

ENLARGING NEW BASEMENT WINDOWS

We also provide side door installation services, which can be used as an additional entrance or exit point for your basement. Our team can help you choose the right type of door based on your specific needs, whether it's a steel door for added security or a glass door to let in more natural light.

Brighten Your Basement Instantly

Basements are often dark and uninviting due to small, builder-grade windows. Enlarging your basement windows is one of the most effective ways to transform the space. Larger windows allow sunlight to flood in, making the area feel larger, warmer, and more welcoming for family activities or tenants.

Legal Requirements & Ventilation

For basement bedrooms or apartments, specific window sizes are required by the Ontario Building Code to serve as emergency exits (egress). Enlarging your windows doesn't just improve aesthetics; it's often a legal necessity for safety. Larger windows also improve air circulation, reducing the "musty" smell common in older basements.

Our Resizing Process

• Structural Support: We install properly sized lintels (headers) to carry the structural load of the brick or wall above the new opening.
• Concrete Cutting: Using wet saws, we precisely cut the foundation wall to fit the new, larger window.
• Window Wells: If the window is below grade, we install galvanized or composite window wells with proper drainage to keep water away.
• Finishing: We install energy-efficient vinyl windows and finish the exterior with caulking and trim for a polished look.
