Replacement Windows & Doors 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.

FAQ
Replacement Windows & Doors in Brewster, MA: common questions
Do I need a permit for replacement windows & doors in Brewster?
Replacing windows and exterior doors needs a building permit in Massachusetts, and the new units have to meet the state energy code. 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.
Should I choose insert or full-frame window replacement?
Insert windows fit inside the existing frame and cost less, which works when the old frame is square and free of rot. Full-frame replacement removes everything down to the rough opening, so rotted sills can be fixed and new flashing installed. On older Cape Cod homes we often recommend full-frame for that reason.
Which window brands do you install?
We install Andersen and Marvin windows and doors. Both offer products suited to coastal New England, including models with divided lite patterns that keep the look of an older Cape house.
