This Baltimore, MD homeowner was consistently battling moisture issues that derailed their plans to finish their basement. Frustrated with temporary fixes and recurring damage, they contacted Quality 1st for a long-term solution. Our team performed a detailed inspection to identify the source of the problem and designed a custom repair plan to permanently protect the space and make it ready for finishing.

This Millersville, MD customer reached out to our company in need of an Egress upgrade and partial basement finishing. The window currently in the basement was your small standard size window with a metal well. Wanting to finish the basement, the customer asked to upgrade this window to an Egress to not only allow a quick and safe exit from the basement, but this would also allow a lot of natural sunlight to enter the basement.

Our company came out and installed a 48x48 Slider Egress window with a Rockwell, Rockwell cover and a WellDuct. Once the Egress was in place we got to the finishing portion of the project. Customer was only looking for a partial finishing and this included a ceiling install, a wall system, access door panels and then an interior door. Material we used to complete this portion of the project was our Prestige, textured,Non-Organic Ceiling Tiles and our Maintenance free TBF Everlast Wall System. 

In this basement in Millersville, MD, the kitchen window was starting to leak and was in need of replacement. We removed and hauled away the original window to install our EverLast Basement Window, which is double-pane glass, which won't rot or rust and helps prevent heat loss during those cold months. We use special techniques to eliminate air leaks through the gaps around the window ledges, which will make a great impact on electric bills.
