Scaldino Basement Solutions has been serving homeowners in the White Plains, NY area since 2010. Basement door installation and replacement is part of the complete basement improvement work we provide across the region. Our team evaluates each opening before any work begins and installs the full system so the result holds up through years of use. We bring the same standards to every job regardless of the opening size or door unit type.
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 White Plains, NY. 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 White Plains, NY, 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.
