Yarmouth Port, on the north side, is part of the Old King's Highway Regional Historic District and has many antique homes where trim and window details matter.
- Egress & Basement Windows in Dennis
Dennis runs from Cape Cod Bay to Nantucket Sound, so houses on both shores get heavy salt exposure.
Lower Cape
- Egress & Basement Windows in Brewster
Brewster is entirely within the Old King's Highway Regional Historic District, so most visible exterior work needs to go through the local committee.
- Egress & Basement Windows in Harwich
Harwich Port and West Harwich face Nantucket Sound, where summer cottages and year-round homes sit close to the water.
- Egress & Basement Windows in Chatham
Chatham sits at the elbow of the Cape and takes the brunt of nor'easters coming off the Atlantic.

- Egress & Basement Windows in Eastham
Eastham borders the Cape Cod National Seashore, and many homes are year-round capes and ranches with exposure to wind from both the bay and the ocean side.
- Egress & Basement Windows in Wellfleet
Wellfleet has a lot of seasonal and second homes that sit empty part of the year, so small roof or flashing leaks can go unnoticed for months.
- Egress & Basement Windows in Truro
Truro is one of the most exposed towns on the Cape, with houses on high dunes and open ground.
- Egress & Basement Windows in Provincetown
Provincetown has dense, older housing stock and its own historic district commission, so exterior projects often involve careful repair of original trim, clapboard and shingles.
What homeowners say on Google
“Amazing work at our house in Falmouth. Finished 2 rooms in basement, added entryway and half bath. Built from scratch beautiful staircase replacing old dangerous spiral staircase. DJonathan is an excellent communicator, sent us weekly video updates.”
“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 egress & basement windows
A basement room used as a bedroom needs an emergency escape opening, and an egress window is the usual way to get one. The Massachusetts building code sets the minimum opening size and sill height, and a window below grade needs a window well large enough to climb out of.
We cut and frame the new opening in the foundation, set the window, install the well and drainage, and finish the inside so it matches the room. We also replace old basement windows that leak, rot or will not open, which brings in more light and makes the space easier to heat.

Do I need an egress window in my basement?
If a basement room is used as a bedroom, the building code requires an emergency escape opening, and an egress window is the usual way to provide one. It also brings light and air into a finished basement.
What is a window well?
When the window sits below the ground, a window well holds the soil back around it, lets daylight in and gives enough room to climb out. It needs drainage at the bottom so it does not fill with water.
