Services
Cellar Door Replacement
We replace worn or damaged cellar doors with durable Bilco and Gordon models. Our installations ensure proper sealing against weather elements while maintaining structural integrity. Each replacement includes foundation assessment and customization options like powder coating to match home aesthetics. Our team addresses common issues like water intrusion and inadequate clearance, providing long-lasting solutions that enhance home safety and value.
Concrete Repair
Our concrete repair services address cracked foundations, crumbling stone, and water-damaged structures. We implement solutions ranging from leveling and sealing to complete cap installation. By raising foundation height with 3-4 inch caps, we prevent water accumulation while ensuring proper drainage. Each repair preserves structural integrity and extends the lifespan of your home's foundation through professional techniques and quality materials.
Basement Windows
We install National Vinyl basement windows that improve energy efficiency and safety. Our custom-fitted windows create secure, weather-tight seals while enhancing natural light in below-grade spaces. The installation process includes proper insulation and finishing touches that integrate seamlessly with existing foundation structures. These windows provide lasting durability against Connecticut's climate conditions while maintaining aesthetic appeal.
Foundation Plates
We install steel foundation plates to create stable mounting surfaces for cellar doors. These plates address uneven or deteriorated foundations while improving structural stability. Our installation ensures proper door alignment and weatherproofing, preventing premature wear. This service combines functional reinforcement with aesthetic improvements, offering both practical benefits and enhanced curb appeal for home exteriors.
Concrete Caps
Our concrete cap installations raise foundation height by 3-4 inches to prevent water intrusion. We use reinforced concrete mixtures to create durable, crack-resistant surfaces that direct water away from basement openings. This service addresses grade level issues caused by settling or landscaping changes, providing a permanent solution that maintains structural integrity while protecting against moisture damage over time.

Dennis at Gibson Cellar Door and Window framed and installed an exterior door in my basement. I called for a quote on a replacement bunker style exterior metal door but Dennis found it to be in good condition and quoted instead an exterior door at the base of the stairs. The install was completed at the quoted time and price. John and Mark did good work and additionally modified and repaired the stairs leaving the site in good condition.
