Basement Remodeling & Finishing for Brewster homes
Brewster is known as the sea captains' town, and a town-wide inventory surveyed more than 300 houses that are a century old or more. Work on these homes is about restraint: matching shingle exposure and trim profiles, keeping original details where they can be saved and making new work hard to tell from old.
Away from Route 6A, many Brewster homes sit in deep shade on wooded lots around the ponds. Shade and moisture shorten the life of roofs and decks, so we pay close attention to ventilation, flashing at every wall and chimney, and decking materials that dry out well.
About 42 percent of Brewster homes were used seasonally in 2020, higher than the Cape average. We plan projects around when you are here, keep you updated while you are not, and close the house up at the end of every day.
What homeowners say on Google
“BDHI renovated our basement into livable space, built an office, rebuilt our deck, reshingled, as well as many other projects. After procuring several estimates theirs was the most detailed, clear and fairly priced.”
How we handle basement finishing
Most Cape Cod homes have unfinished basements that are used for storage and nothing else. That's some of the most underutilized square footage in the house. A finished basement can become a family room, a home office, a guest suite, a gym, or all of the above.

FAQ
Basement Remodeling & Finishing in Brewster, MA: common questions
Do I need a permit for basement remodeling & finishing in Brewster?
Finishing a basement needs a building permit, and the electrical and plumbing work is permitted separately by the licensed trades. If the new space adds a bedroom, the septic system has to be sized for it under the state's Title 5 rules. In Brewster, permits go through the Brewster Building Department at Town Offices, 2198 Main Street, Brewster, MA 02631, 508-896-3701 ext. 1125.
Can every Cape Cod basement be finished?
Most can, but moisture has to be dealt with first. If the basement takes on water, has standing puddles or stays damp, the source needs to be fixed through grading, gutters, crack repair or drainage before anything is finished. Ceiling height and egress for any bedroom are the other two things we check.
What flooring is best for a basement?
Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and tile are the safest choices because they are not damaged by occasional moisture. Carpet can work in a dry basement with a proper subfloor. Solid hardwood is not recommended below grade.
