Egress & Basement Windows for Mashpee homes
Much of Mashpee's housing is newer than the rest of the Cape, and a large share of it, close to 40 percent, has been seasonal. Neighborhoods like New Seabury and Popponesset were built out in the last few decades, and many of those homes now need their first roof, deck and window replacements, often all at once.
Mashpee is surrounded by water: Nantucket Sound to the south, Waquoit Bay on the west, Popponesset Bay on the east and some of the largest ponds on the Cape inland. In 2023 Town Meeting widened the local wetland buffer from 100 to 150 feet and the natural vegetated strip from 50 to 75 feet, which shapes where decks, additions and even staging can go.
The Mashpee Historic District around Main Street and Great Neck Road North is small, so most homes in town need only a building permit and, near the water, a conservation filing.
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 Mashpee, MA: common questions
Do I need a permit for egress & basement windows in Mashpee?
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 Mashpee, permits go through the Mashpee Building Department at Town Hall, 16 Great Neck Road North, Mashpee, MA 02649, 508-539-1406.
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.
