Why Mountainland Covers
Mountainland offers a commitment to a truly custom cover
Do I really need custom-fit window well covers?
Most people assume that window wells are all standard sizes and therefore buying a custom-fit window well cover is overkill. We understand. We thought the same thing 15 years ago when we started building covers. Unfortunately, once you anchor a window well to a house and backfill the yard for landscaping, the window well will naturally bow and bend under the resulting pressure. This process changes the shape of every window well so that in reality no two wells are alike.
True Custom
Some competitors call their covers ‘custom-fit’ when in reality are not. A true custom-fit cover will fit snugly on the inside lip of the window well. Admittedly, this true custom inner fit is difficult to consistently accomplish so we understand why our competitors don’t even try.
Getting a cover to fit properly on the inside lip of a window well is a painstaking process. First, precise measurements are needed to create a template of the window well. It then takes a repeatable and consistent manufacturing process with very little tolerance to re-create a cover to perfectly match the template.
The Competition
On the other hand, it is much easier to build a cover to approximate the window well while allowing it to hang several inches over the edge. Only rudimentary measurements are needed for this style of cover since the cover doesn’t really have to fit. Our competitors choose this less arduous route to build their ‘custom’ covers. Their pseudo-custom covers sort of fit and look ok. However, we don’t think their finished product compares to our true custom-fit cover that fits on the inside of the well.

Great product, amazing service and the BEST PRICE I could find on the internet! Would highly recommend! I needed something simple to cover my 3 window wells and found a standard size of the steel mesh model that was perfect for 2 of them. The other one didn’t quite fit because the shape was different. I was bummed because the price was so good and the quality clearly so great! But I called and for $100 they came to take measurements for a custom cover, they took away the one that didn’t fit and came back and installed the new one. Chef’s kiss! Such great quality and I didn’t have to drive to Denver again (no shipping cost was a huge help!). The customer service was top notch. Someone always answered the phone and was courteous, professional and TOTALLY on top of everything.
So could you spend less, sure .. but you get what you pay for. I got great service, communication, and a great looking product that fits perfectly because it was custom measured and made at the factory to fit my personal window wells. My wells were just an inch shy of being “Over size”, due to the custom concrete make. There was no up-charge. Pay one price and get it all and new lift a finger. Ok, maybe a few to make the order online. Do it! You won’t be disappointed.
