Replacement Windows & Doors for Sandwich homes
Windows and entry doors with the right grid patterns and trim for historic streets, installed and flashed so they stay tight for decades.
Sandwich is the oldest town on Cape Cod, and the area along Route 6A falls inside the Old King's Highway Regional Historic District. Exterior changes visible from a public way there usually need approval from the town's historic committee before work starts.
Sandwich was settled in 1637 and is home to the Hoxie House, described as the oldest house on Cape Cod. Along Route 6A and in the village center, antique homes sit next to well kept capes and colonials, and new work has to respect the proportions, trim and materials of the street.
Everything north of Route 6, from the Bourne line to the Barnstable line and down to the low water mark on Cape Cod Bay, is inside the Old King's Highway Regional Historic District. Exterior changes there go through the Sandwich OKH committee, which offers both certificates of appropriateness and simpler certificates of exemption.
South of Route 6, in Forestdale and the neighborhoods around the ponds, homes are mostly single-family houses on wooded lots. There, roofing, siding and deck projects usually need only a building permit, and the focus shifts to shade, moisture and ventilation.

FAQ
Replacement Windows & Doors in Sandwich, MA: common questions
Do I need a permit for replacement windows & doors in Sandwich?
Replacing windows and exterior doors needs a building permit in Massachusetts, and the new units have to meet the state energy code. In Sandwich, permits go through the Sandwich Building Department at 100 Route 6A, Sandwich, MA 02563, 508-888-4200. Exterior changes in Sandwich can also need review by the 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.
