Egress & Basement Windows for Wellfleet homes
More than half of Wellfleet's homes are seasonal, and many sit closed up for months at a time. Small roof and flashing leaks can go unnoticed through a whole winter, so we build with that in mind and offer a look before and after the season.
Wellfleet has about 251 private properties inside the Cape Cod National Seashore, the most of any town. In the National Seashore Park District, the house is capped at 2,800 square feet and house plus accessory buildings at 3,600, scaled to lot size, and a special permit is needed for rebuilds or additions that go past those limits.
Wellfleet's demolition delay is broad. It treats removing exterior walls or a roof, or wrapping an existing building in new walls, as demolition, and it covers buildings 75 years or older. Renovations on older Wellfleet homes, including some well known mid-century modern houses, need that review planned in.
What homeowners say on Google

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 Wellfleet, MA: common questions
Do I need a permit for egress & basement windows in Wellfleet?
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 Wellfleet, permits go through the Wellfleet Building Department at 1035 Cemetery Road, Wellfleet, MA 02667, 508-349-0309.
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.
