Egress & Basement Windows for Yarmouth homes
Yarmouth runs across the whole Cape, from Cape Cod Bay to Nantucket Sound, with the Bass River along most of its border with Dennis. That puts salt air on both shores and a lot of homes within a short walk of the water.
Yarmouth Port holds one of the best known stretches of Route 6A: Captains' Mile, about a mile and a half lined with more than fifty former sea captains' homes. On houses like these the work is about detail: replacing shingles and clapboards to match, keeping window proportions and muntin patterns right, and building new trim that reads as original.
About one in three Yarmouth homes is not lived in year round, according to the town's 2024 Housing Production Plan. For second homes we schedule work around your visits, send progress photos and video while you are away, and leave the house closed up and clean at the end of each 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 Yarmouth, MA: common questions
Do I need a permit for egress & basement windows in Yarmouth?
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 Yarmouth, permits go through the Yarmouth Building Department at Town Hall, 1146 Route 28, South Yarmouth, MA 02664, 508-398-2231 ext. 1261.
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.
