Since 2010, Scaldino Basement Solutions has installed basement and cellar doors for homeowners in Highlands, NY and across the region. We handle every project as a complete installation, including the concrete apron, threshold waterproofing, flashing, and drainage that determine whether the door performs correctly over the long term. Contact us to schedule a free assessment at your Highlands, NY property.
Older cellar door installations in Highlands, NY 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.
