James Hardie Siding for Falmouth homes
Falmouth has a long shoreline that runs from Buzzards Bay around to Vineyard Sound. Coastal homes see wind-driven rain and salt air, and Falmouth has its own local historic districts, so it pays to check requirements before changing a façade.
Falmouth has about 68 miles of shoreline, running from Buzzards Bay around Woods Hole to Vineyard Sound and Waquoit Bay. Homes on the water take wind and salt from two directions, and waterfront decks, windows and siding are built for that exposure.
Falmouth's housing is older than most of the Upper Cape: according to the town's 2024 Housing Production Plan, only about one in ten homes was built in 2000 or later. Many of these houses are ready for basements finished into living space, new staircases, updated baths and a full exterior done at once.
The town has seven local historic districts, in Davisville, Falmouth Village, North Falmouth, Quissett, Waquoit, West Falmouth and Woods Hole. Visible exterior changes there are reviewed by the Falmouth Historical Commission, while routine repair with no change in look can be approved administratively.

FAQ
James Hardie Siding in Falmouth, MA: common questions
Do I need a permit for james hardie siding in Falmouth?
Replacing siding in Massachusetts needs a building permit, normally pulled by the contractor. In Falmouth, permits go through the Falmouth Building Department at Town Hall, 59 Town Hall Square, Falmouth, MA 02540, 508-495-7470. Exterior changes in Falmouth can also need review by the Falmouth Historical Commission (local historic districts), the Demolition delay 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.
