Cedar Shingle Siding for Dennis homes
Dennis runs from Cape Cod Bay to Nantucket Sound, so houses on both shores get heavy salt exposure. The bay side of town falls inside the Old King's Highway Regional Historic District.
Dennis reaches from Cape Cod Bay to Nantucket Sound, with Sesuit Harbor on the north shore and the Bass River and Swan Pond River on the south. Homes on both coasts take steady salt and wind, which is why flashing, fasteners and trim details matter as much as the shingles you see.
The north side of town sits inside the Old King's Highway Regional Historic District, and South Dennis has its own local historic district around Main Street, created in 1974. Window grid patterns, trim profiles and siding materials on these houses are reviewed, and getting them right the first time keeps a project on schedule.
Dennis also has one of the longer demolition delays on the Cape: twelve months for buildings 75 years old or older. When an addition or remodel involves taking down part of an older house, we plan that review into the schedule from the start.

How we handle cedar shingle siding
White cedar shingles are the siding most people picture when they think of Cape Cod, and left natural they weather to the silver gray you see from Sandwich to Provincetown. Cedar shake gives a heavier, more textured look on the same idea.

FAQ
Cedar Shingle Siding in Dennis, MA: common questions
Do I need a permit for cedar shingle siding in Dennis?
Replacing siding in Massachusetts needs a building permit, normally pulled by the contractor. In Dennis, permits go through the Dennis Building Department at Town Hall, 685 Route 134, South Dennis, MA 02660, 508-760-6157. Exterior changes in Dennis can also need review by the Old King's Highway Historic District Committee, the South Dennis Historic District, the Dennis Historical Commission and the Conservation Commission, depending on where the house sits, so it is worth checking before work is scheduled.
Natural or pre-finished cedar shingles?
Natural shingles weather to silver gray on their own, but unevenly at first, since the sides that get the most sun and rain change faster. Pre-finished shingles come stained or primed from the factory for a uniform color from day one.
Do I need historic approval to re-side with cedar?
In the Old King's Highway district and the towns with local historic districts, siding changes visible from the street are reviewed. Replacing cedar with cedar is often handled with a faster exemption certificate; Orleans, for example, lists cedar siding among its exemptions.
