Cedar Shingle Siding for Falmouth homes
Falmouth has a long shoreline that runs from Buzzards Bay around to Vineyard Sound. Coastal homes see wind-driven rain and salt air, and Falmouth has its own local historic districts, so it pays to check requirements before changing a façade.
Falmouth has about 68 miles of shoreline, running from Buzzards Bay around Woods Hole to Vineyard Sound and Waquoit Bay. Homes on the water take wind and salt from two directions, and waterfront decks, windows and siding are built for that exposure.
Falmouth's housing is older than most of the Upper Cape: according to the town's 2024 Housing Production Plan, only about one in ten homes was built in 2000 or later. Many of these houses are ready for basements finished into living space, new staircases, updated baths and a full exterior done at once.
The town has seven local historic districts, in Davisville, Falmouth Village, North Falmouth, Quissett, Waquoit, West Falmouth and Woods Hole. Visible exterior changes there are reviewed by the Falmouth Historical Commission, while routine repair with no change in look can be approved administratively.

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 Falmouth, MA: common questions
Do I need a permit for cedar shingle siding in Falmouth?
Replacing siding in Massachusetts needs a building permit, normally pulled by the contractor. In Falmouth, permits go through the Falmouth Building Department at Town Hall, 59 Town Hall Square, Falmouth, MA 02540, 508-495-7470. Exterior changes in Falmouth can also need review by the Falmouth Historical Commission (local historic districts), the Demolition delay 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.
