Before & After Photos

The basement of this home in Menominee, MI was dark, outdated, and not up to code for use as a living space. With an undersized, rusted window and no safe emergency exit, the homeowners couldn’t use the space for a bedroom or family area—and little natural light made it feel cold and uninviting.

To make their basement safer and more functional, Sure-Dry installed a Rockwell Egress Window System.

This high-performance egress solution features a beautiful stone-look window well made from durable, UV-stable composite material. A built-in ladder provides a safe escape route in case of emergency, while the polycarbonate well cover protects against water and debris.

By allowing natural light to pour in, this egress window transforms a previously unusable basement into a bright, code-compliant living space.

Designed for safety, style, and durability, the Rockwell system is a smart investment that adds long-term value to the home. With its resistance to frost, rust, and rot, it delivers peace of mind in all seasons.

Before

The homeowner in Menominee, MI wanted to improve both the safety and functionality of their basement by adding an egress window. The existing basement lacked a code-compliant emergency escape route, limiting the usable living space and reducing natural light and ventilation. After evaluating the foundation and determining the best installation location, our Design Specialist recommended installing a RockWell Egress Window to provide a safe, attractive, and durable solution.

After

Our team carefully excavated the area outside the foundation, cut the foundation wall opening, and professionally installed a RockWell Egress Window complete with a durable window well and proper drainage. The new egress window provides a safe emergency exit while bringing significantly more natural light and fresh air into the basement. The homeowner can now enjoy a brighter, more functional lower level with the added confidence of a code-compliant escape route.

Before

Although this newer home in Menominee, MI already had a beautifully finished basement, the homeowner wanted to improve safety and increase the versatility of the space by adding a code-compliant basement egress window. Without a proper emergency escape and rescue opening, the finished basement had limited options for future use as a legal bedroom or additional living space. After evaluating the foundation wall and selecting the optimal installation location, our Design Specialist recommended installing a RockWell Egress Window to provide both safety and added functionality.

After

Our production team carefully protected the finished basement before precisely cutting the foundation wall and installing a RockWell Egress Window with a durable window well and proper drainage. Special attention was given to minimizing disruption to the finished interior while ensuring the installation met emergency egress code requirements. The new window brings abundant natural light and fresh air into the basement while providing a safe emergency exit and increasing the home's long-term value and flexibility.

Before

The homeowner in Menominee, MI began noticing uneven floors, sagging areas, and signs that the home's crawl space support system was no longer adequately supporting the structure above. Over time, weakened support posts and shifting soils had allowed the floor system to settle, a common issue in homes throughout the region due to seasonal moisture changes and freeze-thaw cycles. During our inspection, we measured the floor deflection and found failing structural supports beneath the home. To permanently stabilize the floor system, we recommended installing the SmartJack Structural Support System.

After

Our production team installed the SmartJack Structural Support System beneath the affected floor joists, transferring the home's weight onto engineered galvanized steel supports designed for long-term performance. Each SmartJack was carefully adjusted to provide immediate stabilization while helping restore portions of the sagging floor toward its original position. The homeowner now has a stronger, more stable floor system and the confidence that their home's structural support has been professionally reinforced for years to come.
