Check out this recent project where the Halco team installed a brand-new Bilco door to provide direct basement access. This home had no existing entry, so our excavation crew and basement finishing team worked hand-in-hand to make it happen. From digging out the area to framing and finishing, every step was handled with precision and care. The result: clean, secure, and convenient access that adds both function and value to the home. Great teamwork from start to finish!
