A properly installed basement door serves as the primary exterior access point to your below-grade space while acting as a critical barrier against water, pests, and cold air. Aging cellar doors are one of the most common sources of basement water problems in older NJ and NY homes. Rusted hinges, cracked concrete curbs, and failed weatherstripping allow rainwater to pour directly onto basement stairs and floors. Scaldino Basement Solutions eliminates these problems by installing primed steel doors on properly constructed masonry curbs with integrated drainage channels. We replace the full assembly including the frame, hardware, gas struts or springs, and locking mechanism. Every installation includes concrete curb repair or reconstruction when needed, ensuring the door seats flush and sheds water away from the opening. The result is a secure, watertight entryway built for the freeze-thaw cycles and heavy precipitation common across our service area.
