Replacement Windows & Doors for Wellfleet homes
Wellfleet has a lot of seasonal and second homes that sit empty part of the year, so small roof or flashing leaks can go unnoticed for months. Regular inspections before and after winter are worth it.
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.

FAQ
Replacement Windows & Doors in Wellfleet, MA: common questions
Do I need a permit for replacement windows & doors in Wellfleet?
Replacing windows and exterior doors needs a building permit in Massachusetts, and the new units have to meet the state energy code. In Wellfleet, permits go through the Wellfleet Building Department at 1035 Cemetery Road, Wellfleet, MA 02667, 508-349-0309. Exterior changes in Wellfleet can also need review by the National Seashore Park District, the Wellfleet Historical Commission 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.
