Before & After Photos

In Wrightstown, WI, these homeowners had a goal: turn their dark, underused basement into a safe, livable space—and increase their home's property value in the process. The challenge? Their basement didn’t meet building code requirements due to the lack of a proper egress window.

That’s where Sure-Dry came in.

To solve both the safety and resale concerns, our team installed a Rockwell Premier Series Egress Window System, known for its durability, aesthetic appeal, and code-compliance.

Why This Wrightstown Home Needed an Egress Window

Before installation, the basement had:

• A small, outdated window that didn’t allow for safe escape

• Minimal natural light

• No potential for use as a legal bedroom or finished living area

After installation, the space gained:

• A code-compliant emergency exit with a built-in ladder

• A durable, stone-look composite window well

• A clear cover to protect from moisture, debris, and pests

• A flood of natural light that transformed the look and feel of the space

The Result: A Basement That Adds Value

Installing a basement egress window in Wrightstown, WI not only brought this home up to code, but also increased its usable square footage and long-term market appeal. Homes with finished, legal basement bedrooms or family rooms are more attractive to buyers—and this project gave the homeowners the flexibility to use the space however they wanted.
