Before & After Photos

A new homeowner in East Lansing, MI, wanted to enhance their recently purchased property by installing an egress window. Before the installation, the basement felt cramped and lacked natural light, making it less inviting. More importantly, the absence of an egress window posed safety concerns in the event of a fire, limiting escape routes.

We installed an egress window to address these issues, transforming the basement into a more functional and brighter space. This upgrade provides an emergency escape plan and adds valuable living space to the home. The homeowners can now enjoy a safer, more welcoming basement that enhances their new property's overall value and comfort.

Greg has a secondary cabin in Paradise, MI that was built 25 years ago. He uses the cabin for fishing and enjoying nature. Unfortunately, he couldn't use the kitchen due to sloping floors and was concerned about moisture in the crawl space causing the problem. Our team installed Smart Jacks and a supplemental beam under the kitchen area to safely address the issues in the short crawl space. Additionally, we encapsulated the crawl space and kept the smart jacks and supplemental beams in place to stabilize the floor. 

Josh and Laura, who have two young children and are expecting twins, decided to finish their basement and add a bedroom downstairs to accommodate their oldest son and the new additions to their family. They needed to install an egress window to make the bedroom in the basement compliant and safe for their son. They also addressed water problems by installing a full-perimeter waterproofing system in the basement. With these changes, Josh and Laura can now confidently put their son in the basement, feel assured about his safety, and make room for the new additions to the family.

A Sandusky, MI home was experiencing crumbling basement walls and moisture problems. Ayers was able to help create peace of mind for the customer by installing our full-perimeter waterproofing system and strengthening the walls with our GeoLock wall anchors. These steps helped protect the basement from future damage and improve its overall condition.
