Roofing for Sandwich homes
Cedar and architectural asphalt roofs on antique and newer homes, with proper ice and water shield, flashing and ventilation for houses that may be well over a century old.
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
Roofing in Sandwich, MA: common questions
Do I need a permit for roofing in Sandwich?
In Massachusetts a roof replacement 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.
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.
