Window Well Covers
Our custom window well covers provide permanent safety solutions using G.E. Lexan materials rated for 800-pound loads. Each installation includes support bars and clips, with optional internal locks for enhanced security. The covers allow over 98% light transmission while preventing debris and animal intrusion, combining functional safety with aesthetic appeal.
Egress Window Wells
IRC-compliant egress solutions include ladder-integrated covers for basement windows deeper than 44 inches. Available in 4-foot, 5-foot, and 6-foot sizes with step configurations matching local building codes, ensuring safe emergency evacuation while maintaining weather protection and security features.
Custom Installations
We create tailored solutions through direct on-site construction using portable fabrication equipment. This approach ensures perfect fitment for irregular window shapes while maintaining material integrity, with installations completed within 1-2 hours depending on project complexity and location.
Replacement Covers
Our replacement service addresses deteriorated existing wells with height extension solutions and modern material upgrades. Technicians assess current installations to recommend improvements that prevent water seepage, enhance structural integrity, and meet current safety standards.
Energy Efficient Covers
These covers combine safety features with Energy Star-rated window systems featuring low-E glass and argon fill options. The thermal efficiency design reduces energy costs while maintaining structural requirements, with integrated tie-slot mounting systems for secure installation.

I was excited to get an appointment within a reasonable timeframe but then that's when it went downhill. I received a call that they could make it sooner. I waited and noticed a van pull up. I began getting ready to answer the door but no one rang the bell and off the van left. A card was left in my door and I called the number immediately. The person indicated he would find out why they left but insisted they would have rang the bell. Well, they didn't!
He also indicated maybe I had covers so they saw them and left because they don't remove those. Ok I wasn't told that when I made appointment but even so, one didn't have a cover and the other had a non connected plastic top my 10 year old can remove. No call back was ever made to me. No follow through speaks volumes.

Great job, have reasonable prices, high quality covers that fit perfectly, and they cleaned up around the wells too! They came early then the scheduled time, which we didn't mind at all! Overall really impressed with this company!

Moved into my house a couple of months ago. Can't believe that in the 25 years that the house has existed no one bothered to put window well covers on. Saw Well Covered Window Wells, Inc in the clipper magazine. I emailed them a request for an estimate and had the estimate within a couple of hours. Was scheduled for Monday, October 7. Yesterday I got an email asking if they could come today. That was great. Oscar showed up and immediately went to work.
After he installed the covers he cleaned everything up. I am very happy with the work and they look great. They are far better than those flimsy plastic things they sell at the big box stores. If you are looking for window well covers, give this company a call. You can't go wrong.

Called and spoke to someone last week and the job was completed within seven days. The company came out the day they promised and cleaned out the window well and left the bags and old window well for us to dispose of. Really happy with the company, would buy from again. (Service from 2014, window we'll cover still looks great!)

We used Well Covered Window Wells this past summer based on a recommendation from a neighbor on Next Door and have been very happy with them. They came out to complete the work in a timely manner, measured everything to make sure it was the right fit, explained everything to us and were professional in installation. Our covers are on wells that are in a patio so it was important that strength and safety be addressed since it is possible that children would run over/across them rather than going around.
We also wanted them well-secured with latches to prevent them from lifting them. We are pleased to report that we have stood on them, walked over them and had the kids outside playing without any issue. The pricing was reasonable based on other quotes and overall, we had a great experience.

Professional, efficient and trustworthy. I quoted this job to several companies and Well Covered Window Wells had the best price with the best quality. Cleaned out the wells and installed new high quality covers within minutes. Highly recommended!
