Building in Brewster
Local know-how for Brewster homes
Brewster sits on Cape Cod Bay between Dennis and Orleans, known for wide tidal flats at low tide, kettle ponds and Nickerson State Park. Route 6A runs through the town past sea captains' houses, antique capes and old farmhouses, while wooded neighborhoods off Route 137 and Route 124 hold newer capes and colonials. PLJ builds decks, replaces siding and installs roofs here with that mix in mind. Brewster is one of the six towns in the Old King's Highway Regional Historic District, so exterior work such as new siding, windows or a visible deck usually needs a certificate from the local committee before the building permit. Cedar shingles remain the expected look on many streets, and they weather to gray quickly on the bay side. Homes on Brewster's ponds and bluffs may also need conservation commission review. Our Cape Cod office in South Yarmouth serves Brewster.

FAQ
Brewster FAQ
Will the Old King's Highway committee need to approve my new deck in Brewster?
Possibly. Brewster is in the Old King's Highway Regional Historic District, and exterior changes such as a new deck generally need a certificate from the town's committee. Some minor work is excluded or exempt. PLJ can help you find out which applies and prepare the drawings and material samples.
Is cedar shingle siding still the best choice for a Brewster home?
For many Brewster homes, yes. White or red cedar shingles fit the town's historic look and handle salt air well if they are installed over a proper weather barrier. Fiber cement shingles are an option where they are allowed, but check with the historic committee first.
Do I need conservation commission approval for a deck near a pond in Brewster?
If the work is within 100 feet of a pond, wetland or coastal bank, it likely needs review by the Brewster Conservation Commission under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act, in addition to a building permit. PLJ coordinates these steps with you before construction starts.
