Roofing for Provincetown homes
Wood shake and asphalt roofs in colors and sizes the commission accepts, with the flashing and ventilation older houses on tight lots need.
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.
Approvals that can apply in Provincetown
Provincetown Historic District Commission
Reviews exterior features visible from a public way in the Provincetown Historic District. Its guidelines cover windows (no framing down historic openings, muntins suited to the style), roofs (wood shakes encouraged, asphalt in suitable colors), siding, decks, porches with wood railings and fences. Paint color, gutters and storm windows are exempt.
Provincetown Historical Commission
Outside the historic district, a six month demolition delay applies to significant buildings over 50 years old. Inside the district, demolition is effectively prohibited except in extraordinary circumstances.
Conservation Commission
The Provincetown Wetlands Protection Bylaw is stricter than state law and covers wetlands, banks, beaches, dunes, flats, ponds of any size, flood zones and the 100 foot buffer to any of them.

FAQ
Roofing in Provincetown, MA: common questions
Do I need a permit for roofing in Provincetown?
In Massachusetts a roof replacement 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.
How long does a roof replacement take on Cape Cod?
Most asphalt shingle roofs on a typical Cape Cod home are torn off and replaced in one to three working days. Larger homes, steep pitches, multiple layers of old shingles, rotted decking or chimney and skylight work can add time. Weather matters too: we do not open a roof when rain or high wind is in the forecast.
Do you repair roofs or only replace them?
We do both. Many leaks come from failed flashing around chimneys, vents and skylights, or from a few missing shingles after a storm, and those can be repaired without a full replacement. If the roof is near the end of its life or the decking is soft, we will tell you that a repair is only a short-term fix.
