Timber Window Wells – Custom, Rustic Solutions for Denver Homes

Unlike factory-made wells from brands like Boman Kemp or Rockwell, timber window wells are constructed entirely on-site by our experienced team using high-quality pressure-treated lumber (typically 6×6 or 4×6 timbers). This allows complete customization to your exact needs:

• Hand-Built Construction — Assembled with sturdy, interlocking timbers anchored securely to the foundation and ground for exceptional stability and collapse resistance.
• Integrated Steps — Built-in corner or side steps (often 3 to 5 risers) for safe, easy emergency egress, no separate ladder required in most designs, meeting IRC requirements for wells deeper than 44 inches.
• Planter and Landscaping Borders — Extended top edges or integrated planters to incorporate flowers, shrubs, or decorative gravel, turning the well into an attractive yard feature.
• Natural Wood Aesthetic — Real wood tones (stained or natural) that provide a rustic, organic look, far warmer than metal and customizable to match siding, decks, or fencing.
• Gravel Base and Drainage — Sloped gravel bottom with perforated drain options to direct water away, preventing pooling and reducing moisture risks around the egress window.

These elements create IRC code compliant egress windows with proper clear openings, projections, and emergency access tailored to your Denver property.

Denver homeowners choose timber window wells for:

• Custom Fit and Flexibility — Perfect for irregular foundations, sloped yards, or unique landscaping, tailored dimensions ensure seamless integration without gaps or awkward fits.
• Rustic Curb Appeal — Warm wood tones and planter options enhance outdoor beauty, blending naturally with Colorado’s varied landscapes from suburban gardens to mountain-adjacent homes.
• Affordable Customization — Often more budget-friendly than premium composites for fully bespoke designs, with durable pressure-treated lumber resisting rot and insects when properly maintained.
• Enhanced Safety and Functionality — Built-in steps provide quick, family-friendly egress; excellent soil retention holds back backfill while allowing ventilation and light into the basement.
• Minimal Disruption — On-site building means precise work with little heavy equipment, ideal for tight spaces or established yards.

While timber requires occasional sealing or staining for longevity (unlike rust-proof metal), it offers unmatched character and personalization that many Denver residents prefer for a one-of-a-kind look.
