Cedar Shingle Siding for Wellfleet homes
Wellfleet has a lot of seasonal and second homes that sit empty part of the year, so small roof or flashing leaks can go unnoticed for months. Regular inspections before and after winter are worth it.
More than half of Wellfleet's homes are seasonal, and many sit closed up for months at a time. Small roof and flashing leaks can go unnoticed through a whole winter, so we build with that in mind and offer a look before and after the season.
Wellfleet has about 251 private properties inside the Cape Cod National Seashore, the most of any town. In the National Seashore Park District, the house is capped at 2,800 square feet and house plus accessory buildings at 3,600, scaled to lot size, and a special permit is needed for rebuilds or additions that go past those limits.
Wellfleet's demolition delay is broad. It treats removing exterior walls or a roof, or wrapping an existing building in new walls, as demolition, and it covers buildings 75 years or older. Renovations on older Wellfleet homes, including some well known mid-century modern houses, need that review planned in.

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 Wellfleet, MA: common questions
Do I need a permit for cedar shingle siding in Wellfleet?
Replacing siding in Massachusetts needs a building permit, normally pulled by the contractor. In Wellfleet, permits go through the Wellfleet Building Department at 1035 Cemetery Road, Wellfleet, MA 02667, 508-349-0309. Exterior changes in Wellfleet can also need review by the National Seashore Park District, the Wellfleet 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.
