James Hardie Siding for Wellfleet homes
Wellfleet has a lot of seasonal and second homes that sit empty part of the year, so small roof or flashing leaks can go unnoticed for months. Regular inspections before and after winter are worth it.
More than half of Wellfleet's homes are seasonal, and many sit closed up for months at a time. Small roof and flashing leaks can go unnoticed through a whole winter, so we build with that in mind and offer a look before and after the season.
Wellfleet has about 251 private properties inside the Cape Cod National Seashore, the most of any town. In the National Seashore Park District, the house is capped at 2,800 square feet and house plus accessory buildings at 3,600, scaled to lot size, and a special permit is needed for rebuilds or additions that go past those limits.
Wellfleet's demolition delay is broad. It treats removing exterior walls or a roof, or wrapping an existing building in new walls, as demolition, and it covers buildings 75 years or older. Renovations on older Wellfleet homes, including some well known mid-century modern houses, need that review planned in.

FAQ
James Hardie Siding in Wellfleet, MA: common questions
Do I need a permit for james hardie siding in Wellfleet?
Replacing siding in Massachusetts needs a building permit, normally pulled by the contractor. In Wellfleet, permits go through the Wellfleet Building Department at 1035 Cemetery Road, Wellfleet, MA 02667, 508-349-0309. Exterior changes in Wellfleet can also need review by the National Seashore Park District, the Wellfleet 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.
