Working in Harwich
What Harwich homes need from a contractor
Harwich's south shore faces Nantucket Sound, with Allen, Wychmere and Saquatucket harbors and the Herring River cutting inland. Homes near the water are built for summer living, so decks, porches and outdoor showers take as much weather as the roof does.
Close to half of Harwich homes have been seasonal or occasional residences. On a summer house the goal is a deck and exterior that can sit closed up all winter and look right in June: composite or PVC decking, stainless hardware, and trim that will not cup or rot.
Harwich Center has a local historic district along Main and Parallel Streets, and the town reviews demolition of any building 100 years or older. Both are worth knowing about before an addition or a major exterior change on an older house.

FAQ
Questions from Harwich homeowners
Is Harwich in the Old King's Highway Historic District?
No. The Old King's Highway district stops at the Dennis and Brewster town lines. Harwich has its own local historic district in Harwich Center, along Main and Parallel Streets, reviewed by the Harwich Historic District and Historical Commission.
Do I need a permit to build a deck in Harwich?
Yes. A new deck needs a building permit, filed online with the Harwich Building Department. If the house is near wetlands, a harbor or the shore, the Conservation Commission may need to review it as well. We prepare both.
What decking lasts longest on a Harwich Port summer house?
Capped composite and PVC boards hold up best on a house that sits empty part of the year, because they do not need sealing and resist mold. Hardwoods like IPE are a beautiful option for owners who like the look of real wood and plan for occasional oiling.
Does Harwich review demolition of older homes?
Yes. Full or partial demolition of a building 100 years or older needs a filing with the Historical Commission, which can impose a delay. We check the age of the house before planning an addition.
