Window well covers shield the window between your basement and the outside world. Installing your own Window well covers may seem simple, but they are not good candidates for DIY projects. Here are some reasons why window well covers are never a good idea.
They may be more complicated than you realize.
Window well covers have more to them than meets the eye. If you think of them just as covers for window wells, you may miss important nuances, such as how dirt and debris are likely to build up, which materials are best in your climate as well as with the materials of your home, and which shape might be most attractive from the inside and outside. Also, if not properly fitted and installed, they can end up posing risk to your family.
While a professional provider and installer may know the ins and outs of the best covers for your home design, local wind and rain patterns, and year-round climate, you might only scratch the surface when you begin doing your research.
They can be more expensive than professional window well covers.
It hardly seems fair to pay more for anything DIY compared to professional, but it can happen with DIY window well covers. You may be saving on the upfront costs by getting your own materials and providing your own labor, but what if something goes wrong? You may need to hire experts to fix any problems that come up, and there may be additional expenses if you need to purchase replacement materials if you break or damage part of the well cover or your home.
So, is it really worth your time and the value of your mental health, which can take a hit when you struggle with DIY projects? Leave the installation of window well covers to the experts and gain peace of mind knowing that they are properly installed.
