Egress & Basement Windows for Eastham homes
Eastham is narrow, with Cape Cod Bay on one side and the Atlantic on the other, and wind reaches houses from both. Roofs, siding and decks here are built for exposure, and outdoor showers are close to standard equipment on homes near the beaches.
About 95 percent of Eastham homes are single-family, most built in the 1970s or later, and more than half are seasonal. Many are capes and ranches that are ready for their second roof, new windows and a deck that can sit through the winter without attention.
For homes inside the National Seashore, Eastham's Seashore District limits enlargements: habitable space can grow no more than 50 percent over what existed in 1959, with set setbacks, and the town notifies the Secretary of the Interior of building permit applications there. We sort out what a project can include before design starts.
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 Eastham, MA: common questions
Do I need a permit for egress & basement windows in Eastham?
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 Eastham, permits go through the Eastham Building Department at 2500 State Highway, Eastham, MA 02642, 508-240-5900 ext. 3202.
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.
