James Hardie Siding for Provincetown homes
Provincetown has dense, older housing stock and its own historic district commission, so exterior projects often involve careful repair of original trim, clapboard and shingles. Tight lots also make staging and material deliveries part of the plan.
Provincetown's town plan describes its housing as the oldest on Cape Cod, and about four in ten homes were built before 1940. Houses sit close together along Commercial and Bradford Streets, so staging, deliveries and keeping neighbors' property protected are part of planning any job.
Roughly three quarters of the town's land is National Seashore, which keeps homes in a narrow strip along the harbor. Many buildings are condos or multi-unit houses, which means association approvals often come before town permits.
Provincetown is a Green Community, so the Stretch Energy Code applies and residential applications need to show compliance with the 2021 energy code. Windows, insulation and roofing assemblies are chosen with that in mind.

FAQ
James Hardie Siding in Provincetown, MA: common questions
Do I need a permit for james hardie siding in Provincetown?
Replacing siding in Massachusetts needs a building permit, normally pulled by the contractor. In Provincetown, permits go through the Provincetown Building Department at Town Hall, 260 Commercial Street, Provincetown, MA 02657, 508-487-7020. Exterior changes in Provincetown can also need review by the Provincetown Historic District Commission, the Provincetown Historical Commission 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.
