Homeowners in Billings know the drill: Montana code requires an egress window in every basement bedroom for safe emergency exit. But not all window wells are created equal. At Lockwood Precast, we build 5000 psi rebar-reinforced precast concrete egress wells that outperform metal, plastic, or block alternatives—delivering durability, safety, and curb appeal that lasts a Montana lifetime.
Built Like a Fortress—Because They Are
5000 psi concrete + rebar reinforcement: Crushes the competition (literally). Metal wells rust and dent after a few seasons of snowplow spray and lawnmower nicks. Plastic cracks under UV and freeze-thaw cycles. Our precast units shrug off Montana’s extremes.
6' wide standard (custom heights available): Gives firefighters full shoulder room and meets IRC egress codes with zero compromises.
Integrated escape ladder: Installed right into the wall—no loose steps, no installation headaches.
Exposed Aggregate Finish: Rugged Looks That Age Gracefully
Our signature exposed aggregate isn’t just tough—it’s handsome. The textured aggregate rock face blends with any siding, boosts curb appeal, and hides dirt better than painted metal or raw block. Choose natural gray or upgrade to colored concrete for a custom look.
