Before
The damage
The basement window glass was broken, leaving the residential opening exposed.
Project details
The opening had to be protected before the new glass was installed.
A broken basement window sits close to ground level and can leave the lower level exposed to weather and access. The first priority was to close and secure the opening.
Board-Up
The board-up
A plywood board-up was installed to close the opening and protect the home.
After
The final repair
After the emergency protection, new glass was installed in the existing window frame. The basement window was restored and the lower-level opening was no longer exposed.
