Cedar Shingle Siding for Eastham homes
Eastham borders the Cape Cod National Seashore, and many homes are year-round capes and ranches with exposure to wind from both the bay and the ocean side.
Eastham is narrow, with Cape Cod Bay on one side and the Atlantic on the other, and wind reaches houses from both. Roofs, siding and decks here are built for exposure, and outdoor showers are close to standard equipment on homes near the beaches.
About 95 percent of Eastham homes are single-family, most built in the 1970s or later, and more than half are seasonal. Many are capes and ranches that are ready for their second roof, new windows and a deck that can sit through the winter without attention.
For homes inside the National Seashore, Eastham's Seashore District limits enlargements: habitable space can grow no more than 50 percent over what existed in 1959, with set setbacks, and the town notifies the Secretary of the Interior of building permit applications there. We sort out what a project can include before design starts.

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 Eastham, MA: common questions
Do I need a permit for cedar shingle siding in Eastham?
Replacing siding in Massachusetts needs a building permit, normally pulled by the contractor. In Eastham, permits go through the Eastham Building Department at 2500 State Highway, Eastham, MA 02642, 508-240-5900 ext. 3202. Exterior changes in Eastham can also need review by the Seashore District (Cape Cod National Seashore), the Olde Towne Centre Historic District Commission, the Eastham 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.
