Egress & Basement Windows 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 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.

FAQ
Egress & Basement Windows in Brewster, MA: common questions
Do I need a permit for egress & basement windows in Brewster?
Cutting a new egress opening in a foundation needs a building permit, and the opening has to meet the escape-opening rules in the state building code. In Brewster, permits go through the Brewster Building Department at Town Offices, 2198 Main Street, Brewster, MA 02631, 508-896-3701 ext. 1125.
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.
