In 2010, I opened Scaldino Basement Solutions near Tuckerton, NJ, where we have completed basement door installations across properties of all ages and foundation types. Every job we take on gets the same standards: correct framing, waterproofed threshold, proper drainage, and a door that fits and seals correctly from day one. The free assessment we provide before every project is what makes that consistency possible.
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 Tuckerton, 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 Tuckerton, NJ property.
