Scaldino Basement Solutions was founded in 2010 and has served homeowners in Cliffside Park, NJ with basement door installation and replacement since the beginning. Our work covers the full opening scope: frame condition, concrete apron, threshold waterproofing, and drainage. We build installations that hold up through all seasons without requiring repeated repairs. Free assessments are available for all Cliffside Park, NJ homeowners.
Bilco and custom cellar doors that were installed without a properly waterproofed threshold or adequate drainage around the apron will eventually allow water to migrate into the basement. This is a common problem across Cliffside Park, NJ properties that were built before modern installation standards. Scaldino Basement Solutions inspects the full door opening, frame, concrete apron, and drainage during every free assessment to determine the scope of work required for a lasting installation. The evaluation identifies every contributing factor before a replacement or new installation is proposed for your Cliffside Park, NJ property.
