James Hardie Siding for Sandwich homes
Sandwich is the oldest town on Cape Cod, and the area along Route 6A falls inside the Old King's Highway Regional Historic District. Exterior changes visible from a public way there usually need approval from the town's historic committee before work starts.
Sandwich was settled in 1637 and is home to the Hoxie House, described as the oldest house on Cape Cod. Along Route 6A and in the village center, antique homes sit next to well kept capes and colonials, and new work has to respect the proportions, trim and materials of the street.
Everything north of Route 6, from the Bourne line to the Barnstable line and down to the low water mark on Cape Cod Bay, is inside the Old King's Highway Regional Historic District. Exterior changes there go through the Sandwich OKH committee, which offers both certificates of appropriateness and simpler certificates of exemption.
South of Route 6, in Forestdale and the neighborhoods around the ponds, homes are mostly single-family houses on wooded lots. There, roofing, siding and deck projects usually need only a building permit, and the focus shifts to shade, moisture and ventilation.

FAQ
James Hardie Siding in Sandwich, MA: common questions
Do I need a permit for james hardie siding in Sandwich?
Replacing siding in Massachusetts needs a building permit, normally pulled by the contractor. In Sandwich, permits go through the Sandwich Building Department at 100 Route 6A, Sandwich, MA 02563, 508-888-4200. Exterior changes in Sandwich can also need review by the 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.
