James Hardie Siding for Truro homes
Truro is one of the most exposed towns on the Cape, with houses on high dunes and open ground. Siding, decks and roofs here need fasteners and materials chosen for constant wind and salt.
Truro houses sit on dunes, bluffs and open ground with little between them and the weather. Constant wind and salt mean siding, decks and roofs here need corrosion-resistant fasteners, careful flashing and materials chosen for exposure rather than looks alone.
About two thirds of Truro's homes are seasonal, the highest share in the area, and the zoning bylaw describes Beach Point as an area of traditional vacation cottages. Many of these houses need work done while the owners are away, and a roof that will hold through a winter no one is there to watch.
Truro controls house size in two ways. In the Seashore District, gross floor area is limited by right to 3,600 square feet on 3 acres, adjusted by 200 square feet per acre, and in the Residential District a separate cap applies. Site plan review is required for larger additions, so we confirm the numbers before design.

FAQ
James Hardie Siding in Truro, MA: common questions
Do I need a permit for james hardie siding in Truro?
Replacing siding in Massachusetts needs a building permit, normally pulled by the contractor. In Truro, permits go through the Truro Building Department at 24 Town Hall Road, Truro, MA 02666, 508-349-7004 ext. 131. Exterior changes in Truro can also need review by the Seashore District, the Truro Historical Commission and the Conservation Commission, depending on where the house sits, so it is worth checking before work is scheduled.
What siding lasts on a Truro dune house?
White cedar shingles, fiber cement and PVC trim all work when installed over a good weather barrier with stainless or hot-dipped fasteners. The wind does more damage through gaps and failed flashing than through the siding itself.
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.
