Composite Decks for Sandwich homes
Sandwich is the oldest town on Cape Cod, and the area along Route 6A falls inside the Old King's Highway Regional Historic District. Exterior changes visible from a public way there usually need approval from the town's historic committee before work starts.
Sandwich was settled in 1637 and is home to the Hoxie House, described as the oldest house on Cape Cod. Along Route 6A and in the village center, antique homes sit next to well kept capes and colonials, and new work has to respect the proportions, trim and materials of the street.
Everything north of Route 6, from the Bourne line to the Barnstable line and down to the low water mark on Cape Cod Bay, is inside the Old King's Highway Regional Historic District. Exterior changes there go through the Sandwich OKH committee, which offers both certificates of appropriateness and simpler certificates of exemption.
South of Route 6, in Forestdale and the neighborhoods around the ponds, homes are mostly single-family houses on wooded lots. There, roofing, siding and deck projects usually need only a building permit, and the focus shifts to shade, moisture and ventilation.

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 Sandwich, MA: common questions
Do I need a permit for composite decks in Sandwich?
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 Sandwich, permits go through the Sandwich Building Department at 100 Route 6A, Sandwich, MA 02563, 508-888-4200. Exterior changes in Sandwich can also need review by the Old King's Highway Historic District Committee 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.
