Composite Decks for Provincetown homes
Provincetown has dense, older housing stock and its own historic district commission, so exterior projects often involve careful repair of original trim, clapboard and shingles. Tight lots also make staging and material deliveries part of the plan.
Provincetown's town plan describes its housing as the oldest on Cape Cod, and about four in ten homes were built before 1940. Houses sit close together along Commercial and Bradford Streets, so staging, deliveries and keeping neighbors' property protected are part of planning any job.
Roughly three quarters of the town's land is National Seashore, which keeps homes in a narrow strip along the harbor. Many buildings are condos or multi-unit houses, which means association approvals often come before town permits.
Provincetown is a Green Community, so the Stretch Energy Code applies and residential applications need to show compliance with the 2021 energy code. Windows, insulation and roofing assemblies are chosen with that in mind.
Approvals that can apply in Provincetown
Provincetown Historic District Commission
Reviews exterior features visible from a public way in the Provincetown Historic District. Its guidelines cover windows (no framing down historic openings, muntins suited to the style), roofs (wood shakes encouraged, asphalt in suitable colors), siding, decks, porches with wood railings and fences. Paint color, gutters and storm windows are exempt.
Provincetown Historical Commission
Outside the historic district, a six month demolition delay applies to significant buildings over 50 years old. Inside the district, demolition is effectively prohibited except in extraordinary circumstances.
Conservation Commission
The Provincetown Wetlands Protection Bylaw is stricter than state law and covers wetlands, banks, beaches, dunes, flats, ponds of any size, flood zones and the 100 foot buffer to any of them.

How we handle composite decks
Composite decking from Trex and TimberTech does not need the yearly sealing or staining a wood deck asks for, and it holds its color through salt air and summer sun better than bare lumber. It costs more up front than pressure-treated wood, so it makes the most sense on a deck you plan to keep for a long time.

FAQ
Composite Decks in Provincetown, MA: common questions
Do I need a permit for composite decks in Provincetown?
A new or rebuilt deck needs a building permit with footing and framing details, and work near wetlands, ponds or the shore also goes through the Conservation Commission. In Provincetown, permits go through the Provincetown Building Department at Town Hall, 260 Commercial Street, Provincetown, MA 02657, 508-487-7020. Exterior changes in Provincetown can also need review by the Provincetown Historic District Commission, the Provincetown Historical Commission and the Conservation Commission, depending on where the house sits, so it is worth checking before work is scheduled.
Is composite decking worth it on Cape Cod?
It costs more up front than pressure-treated wood, but it does not need sealing or staining every year and it holds up to salt air and sun. On a deck you plan to keep for a long time, the lower upkeep usually makes up the difference.
Can new composite boards go on my old deck frame?
Sometimes. Composite boards need the joist spacing the manufacturer specifies, and the frame has to be sound. We check the joists, beams and footings first and repair or add framing where it is needed.
