Before the Project Began
The home had no exterior basement access. Our team assessed the site and developed a custom plan for a new Bilco door installation.
Excavation Underway
Our excavation crew got to work, carefully digging out the area where the new access point would be created.
Excavation Underway
Precision was key to avoid damage to existing structures.
Access Opening in Progress
Once the area was dug out, we marked and cut through the block foundation to form the new basement entry.
Cement Slab
Fresh cement was poured.
Laying the Base Block
We installed a solid block base to support the Bilco unit.
Laying and Sealing the Base
This base ensures the door system sits level, drains properly, and stays structurally sound for years to come.
Backfilling the Perimeter
After the foundation work was completed, our crew backfilled the area.
Staircase Installation
The staircase has been built into the new foundation.
The Bilco Door Installed
After the staircase was built, the bilco door was installed.

Finished Installation
The final product: a fully installed Bilco door that offers easy, secure access to the basement. Clean, functional, and built to last-another job well done by the Halco team!
