James Hardie Siding for Brewster homes
Brewster is entirely within the Old King's Highway Regional Historic District, so most visible exterior work needs to go through the local committee. Many homes sit in wooded lots where shade and moisture shorten the life of roofs and decks.
Brewster is known as the sea captains' town, and a town-wide inventory surveyed more than 300 houses that are a century old or more. Work on these homes is about restraint: matching shingle exposure and trim profiles, keeping original details where they can be saved and making new work hard to tell from old.
Away from Route 6A, many Brewster homes sit in deep shade on wooded lots around the ponds. Shade and moisture shorten the life of roofs and decks, so we pay close attention to ventilation, flashing at every wall and chimney, and decking materials that dry out well.
About 42 percent of Brewster homes were used seasonally in 2020, higher than the Cape average. We plan projects around when you are here, keep you updated while you are not, and close the house up at the end of every day.

FAQ
James Hardie Siding in Brewster, MA: common questions
Do I need a permit for james hardie siding in Brewster?
Replacing siding in Massachusetts needs a building permit, normally pulled by the contractor. In Brewster, permits go through the Brewster Building Department at Town Offices, 2198 Main Street, Brewster, MA 02631, 508-896-3701 ext. 1125. Exterior changes in Brewster can also need review by the Brewster 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 James Hardie siding a good choice for Cape Cod?
It does not rot, it resists insects and woodpeckers, and it holds paint well, which is why it is common on houses that take a lot of salt air and wind-driven rain. It costs more than vinyl and is installed with more care at the joints and trim.
Does Hardie siding need painting?
It comes either factory-finished in color or primed and ready to paint. Either way it is repainted far less often than wood siding.
