For the past couple of years I have wanted to put a window in the stairway leading down to the basement. It’s really dark and you have to use the light day or night, to be able to see your way down the stairs. So a couple of years ago we got 2 or 3 companies to come out and tell us if that was even possible, and if it was to give us a quote. The quotes we got back then ranged from $2800-$3500, and we were told that most of that was for labor.
A couple of months ago we had another window guy come out to give us a quote on getting our two broken windows replaced (they had been broken for WAY too long and we just wanted to get it done and over with), and while he was here Kyle asked if he would give us a separate quote for putting a window in the basement stairway. Well the quote this guy gave us was nearly HALF what the other companies had said a couple of years ago, and that INCLUDED getting the other two windows replaced, so we decided to go for it.
They came out yesterday to do our windows and now instead of seeing this every time I go downstairs:
I now see this:
Oh I love it! It lights up the stairway SO MUCH. And I am so happy that we were able to save up and have it put in!
Looks great! I love it!
Now we just need to finish your basement! 🙂
Looks great! I got a little tear in my eye when I saw our old house through your new window!! 🙁
Amazing! It’s like a different place, entirely! … And yes, I agree with Liesl on getting the basement finished … SOMEDAY you can move ALL the kids down there and have space upstairs for SANITY … Ahh, what will that be like, eh? 😉
