Broomfield, Colorado
Window Well Replacement in Broomfield, CO
Broomfield has been its own city and county since 2001, but its housing story starts in the 1950s. Whether you live in Broomfield Heights or a newer neighborhood, window well replacement in Broomfield gets you a stronger well, better drainage and a safer way out of the basement.
Why Older Broomfield Window Wells Fail
Broomfield's growth took off in the 1950s, with neighborhoods like Broomfield Heights. If your home dates from that period, its window wells may have been in the ground for decades, and that time takes a toll. Soil pressure, water and corrosion crack wells, rust them through or tip them away from the foundation. Window well replacement in Broomfield swaps that worn-out well for one built to last.
Broomfield was among the areas hit by the September 2013 floods, a reminder that heavy rain can overwhelm a well's drain. The ground works against wells too. The Colorado Geological Survey calls expansive soil Colorado's most significant geologic hazard, with some clays swelling up to 20% when wet, which pushes on well walls season after season.
Original, decades-old wells
If nobody remembers the wells ever being replaced, check them closely for thinning metal and rust.
Soil spilling in
Dirt washing into the well through gaps or holes means the walls no longer hold the soil back.
Buried or missing drain
Leaves, silt and debris at the bottom can hide a drain that stopped working long ago.
Damp basement corners
A musty smell or damp spot near a basement window can mean water is collecting just outside it.

If your Broomfield basement finish includes a bedroom, we install the egress window and well to code and take care of planning and permits.

Covers, Grates and Locks
Covers, grates and locks keep kids, pets and debris out of the well, and ladders make deeper egress wells easy to climb out of.
Window well coversBroomfield's Codes and Homeowner Guides
The City and County of Broomfield adopted the 2024 ICC codes, effective April 15, 2026. Egress windows, basement bedrooms and enlarged openings are planned around those rules, and we take care of planning and permits when a project changes an opening.
Broomfield publishes separate homeowner guides for basement finishes and for windows and doors. They're worth reading if you're remodeling, and we keep them in mind when we plan egress windows and new openings. If you're adding a bedroom downstairs, it's smart to plan the egress window early so the room layout works around it.
Requirements depend on your address and the work involved, so we confirm what applies to your home during your free estimate and handle any permits the project needs. You'll know what's required before work begins, with no guesswork on your end.
Local Notes
Broomfield: Mid-Century Roots, City-County Rules
Broomfield became a combined city and county in 2001, so its building rules come from Broomfield itself. Its housing ranges from 1950s neighborhoods like Broomfield Heights to newer areas, and the window wells vary just as much. We size each replacement to the opening and the yard around it, so you get a well that fits instead of a one-size-fits-all part.

Broomfield Window Well Replacement: Your Questions Answered
Which building codes apply in Broomfield?
Broomfield adopted the 2024 ICC codes, effective April 15, 2026. We design egress windows and wells to meet them and handle permits when the work changes an opening.
Does Broomfield have guidance for finishing a basement?
Yes. The City and County publishes a Basement Finish guide and a separate Window/Door guide. If your basement project includes a bedroom, we can install the egress window and well as part of it.
Is my original window well worth saving?
A well that has been in the ground for decades has usually done its job. If it's rusting, bowing or pulling away from the house, replacement is the safer move. We'll inspect it and tell you what we see.
Do you install covers and ladders?
Yes. We install covers, grates, locks and ladders, either with a new well or on their own.
