Scaldino Basement Solutions has worked across Bernardsville, NJ and the surrounding area since 2010. Basement and cellar door installation is one of the services we provide to homeowners who need a door that seals correctly and does not admit water. We bring the full scope to every project, covering the frame, concrete, waterproofing, and drainage, so the installation holds up through every season.
Older cellar door installations in Bernardsville, NJ frequently lack the waterproofed threshold, proper flashing, and drainage that a correct installation requires. That gap between what was installed and what should have been installed is where water enters. Scaldino Basement Solutions evaluates the frame, apron, and drainage at every property before proposing a replacement or new installation approach suited to the specific opening condition and site drainage. The resulting installation addresses every element that allows water to reach the basement below the door opening.
