Morrison, Colorado
Window Well Replacement in Morrison, CO
Morrison is a small town of about 396 people, set against red sandstone and the Dakota Hogback about 20 miles southwest of Denver. Window well replacement in Morrison means fitting the right well to each home, whether that's Boman Kemp steel, Rockwell stone-look or custom timber.
Why Morrison Window Wells Need Attention
Morrison is home to the Morrison Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. Older homes may have basement windows that don't match today's standard sizes, and older wells can rust, crack or settle out of place. Window well replacement in Morrison is often about a careful custom fit as much as it is about a new product.
Morrison sits at the foot of the Dakota Hogback, and runoff from higher ground has to go somewhere. Jefferson County was among the counties hit by the September 2013 floods. Add expansive clay, which the Colorado Geological Survey calls the state's most significant geologic hazard, plus snowmelt and freeze-thaw, and wells take a beating.
Crumbling well walls
Older wells can flake, crack or break apart, letting gravel and soil spill down against the window.
Water after a storm
If rain or snowmelt pools in the well and stays there, the drain underneath is likely blocked or gone.
Odd-size openings
A standard well may not fit an older basement window, leaving gaps that a custom well would close properly.
Window hard to reach
A narrow well with no ladder can make a basement window nearly impossible to climb out of.
Window Well Replacement Options in Morrison
Homes in a town like Morrison rarely come in one size, so we measure each window and suggest the well that fits it best.
Boman Kemp Window Wells
Boman Kemp steel wells are a durable, code-ready option when a Morrison basement window is a standard size and just needs a reliable upgrade.

Rockwell Window Wells
Rockwell's stone-look composite echoes natural rock, a fitting choice for Morrison homes set among red sandstone and the Dakota Hogback.

Timber Window Wells
Custom timber wells are built to size, which helps with the irregular basement windows that older Morrison homes sometimes have.

Window Well Sump Pumps
When runoff and snowmelt collect in a Morrison window well, a sump pump or better drainage keeps water away from the glass and the foundation.

Window well coversHistoric District and Permit Notes for Morrison
The Town of Morrison uses SAFEbuilt for building permits and inspections, and the town has adopted the 2015 International Building Code. Egress windows usually involve changing an opening in the foundation, so we handle the planning and permits for that work and install the window and well to code.
The Morrison Historic District has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1976. If your home is in or near the district, we'll look into whether any extra review applies to exterior changes before work begins, so your project stays on track.
Every estimate is free, and confirming the rules for your Morrison address is part of it. You'll know what the project involves, including any permits we would handle for you, before you make a decision. If your home needs a custom well or an egress window, we'll explain how the rules affect that choice too.
Town Character
Small Town, Big Geology
Morrison's red sandstone and the Dakota Hogback give the town its look, and they also shape how water moves after a storm. A window well on the uphill side of a house can catch runoff that would otherwise flow past, so drainage and a good cover matter here. Gravel, a working drain and, where needed, a window well sump pump keep that water away from the basement.
With only about 396 residents, Morrison is a place where homes and yards are part of the town's character. A Rockwell or custom timber well can blend with the surroundings far better than a bare steel ring, while still meeting code. Add a fitted cover and the well stays clean, safe and easy to live with through every season.

Common Questions from Morrison Homeowners
Is my Morrison home in a historic district?
The Morrison Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. If you aren't sure whether your home is part of it, we'll look into it during the estimate and check whether any review applies.
Can you fit a window well to an older, odd-sized basement window?
Yes. Custom timber wells are built to size, and we measure each opening so the new well seals against the foundation the way it should.
How do I stop water from collecting in my window well?
Start with drainage: clean gravel and a working drain under the well. If water still sits, a window well sump pump moves it away, and a cover keeps snow and debris out.
Do you come out to Morrison for estimates?
Yes. Morrison is about 20 miles southwest of Denver and part of our service area. Estimates are free, and financing is available on approved credit.
