Exterior Home Remodeling for Brewster homes
Brewster is entirely within the Old King's Highway Regional Historic District, so most visible exterior work needs to go through the local committee. Many homes sit in wooded lots where shade and moisture shorten the life of roofs and decks.
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.
Approvals that can apply in Brewster
Brewster Old King's Highway Historic District Committee
Covers the land north of the center line of Route 6, which is most of the town. Exterior changes, fences, signs, new construction and demolition need approval. Exemption certificates are available for architectural asphalt shingles in black, gray or weatherwood, or natural cedar at no more than 5 inch exposure, and for small sheds and low fences.
Building Department
Administers and enforces the OKH Act together with the committee, issues building permits through the town's OpenGov portal and schedules inspections.
Conservation Commission
Reviews work near wetlands, ponds and the bay shore under the state Wetlands Protection Act and the Brewster Wetlands Protection Bylaw. A separate town stormwater bylaw also applies.

FAQ
Exterior Home Remodeling in Brewster, MA: common questions
Do I need a permit for exterior home remodeling in Brewster?
An exterior remodel needs a building permit, with the roofing, siding, windows and doors listed on the application. In Brewster, permits go through the Brewster Building Department at Town Offices, 2198 Main Street, Brewster, MA 02631, 508-896-3701 ext. 1125. Exterior changes in Brewster can also need review by the Brewster Old King's Highway Historic District Committee and the Conservation Commission, depending on where the house sits, so it is worth checking before work is scheduled.
Which roofs qualify for a faster OKH approval in Brewster?
Brewster offers exemption certificates for architectural asphalt shingles in black, gray or weatherwood, and for natural cedar shingles laid at 5 inches or less to the weather. Other materials or colors go through the regular certificate review.
Why combine roofing, siding and windows into one project?
Doing them together lets the flashing at roof edges, windows and doors tie into the new siding the right way, which is where most water problems start. It also means one set of permits, one round of staging and cleanup, and one contractor responsible for how the pieces fit.
