Composite Decks 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.
Approvals that can apply in Wellfleet
National Seashore Park District
Private land inside the Seashore is zoned NSP. Gross floor area is capped by lot size, the dwelling may not exceed 2,800 square feet and house plus accessory buildings 3,600. Exceeding the limits or increasing a nonconformity needs a special permit.
Wellfleet Historical Commission
Runs an eighteen month demolition delay that covers buildings 75 years or older and counts removing exterior walls or a roof, or enclosing a building in new walls, as demolition. The commission also publishes flood adaptation guidelines for historic buildings.
Conservation Commission
Protects banks, the 100 year flood plain, upland within 100 feet of any resource area and land within 200 feet of a river or stream. Cutting trees or vegetation counts as alteration; small projects may qualify for administrative review.

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 Wellfleet, MA: common questions
Do I need a permit for composite decks in Wellfleet?
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 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.
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.
