Scaldino Basement Solutions has worked across Montclair, 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.
Leaking water around the threshold, rust-through on the frame, and a door that binds or sags are the most common signs that a basement door has reached the end of its service life in Montclair, NJ. Older cellar doors often lack proper flashing and drainage, which allows water to pool against the frame and work through the concrete surrounding the opening. Scaldino Basement Solutions evaluates the full opening condition during every site visit in Montclair, NJ, checking the frame, threshold, apron, drainage slope, and concrete integrity before recommending replacement or new installation. The free assessment covers whether the existing concrete can be retained or must be repoured as part of the project scope.
