Exterior Home Remodeling for Harwich homes
Harwich Port and West Harwich face Nantucket Sound, where summer cottages and year-round homes sit close to the water. Outdoor showers, decks and cedar shingle repairs are typical projects for homes this close to the water.
Harwich's south shore faces Nantucket Sound, with Allen, Wychmere and Saquatucket harbors and the Herring River cutting inland. Homes near the water are built for summer living, so decks, porches and outdoor showers take as much weather as the roof does.
Close to half of Harwich homes have been seasonal or occasional residences. On a summer house the goal is a deck and exterior that can sit closed up all winter and look right in June: composite or PVC decking, stainless hardware, and trim that will not cup or rot.
Harwich Center has a local historic district along Main and Parallel Streets, and the town reviews demolition of any building 100 years or older. Both are worth knowing about before an addition or a major exterior change on an older house.

FAQ
Exterior Home Remodeling in Harwich, MA: common questions
Do I need a permit for exterior home remodeling in Harwich?
An exterior remodel needs a building permit, with the roofing, siding, windows and doors listed on the application. In Harwich, permits go through the Harwich Building Department at Town Hall, 732 Main Street, Harwich, MA 02645, 508-430-7506. Exterior changes in Harwich can also need review by the Harwich Historic District and Historical Commission and the Conservation Commission, depending on where the house sits, so it is worth checking before work is scheduled.
Why combine roofing, siding and windows into one project?
Doing them together lets the flashing at roof edges, windows and doors tie into the new siding the right way, which is where most water problems start. It also means one set of permits, one round of staging and cleanup, and one contractor responsible for how the pieces fit.
What order should exterior work be done in?
In general the roof comes first, then windows and doors, then siding and trim. That order lets each layer lap over the one below it so water runs out, not in. If the budget only allows part of the work now, we plan the phases so nothing has to be torn off later.
