Siding & Trim for Harwich homes
Cedar shingle repairs and full re-siding, with AZEK trim at corners, rakes and windows where wood rots fastest near the water.
Harwich Port and West Harwich face Nantucket Sound, where summer cottages and year-round homes sit close to the water. Outdoor showers, decks and cedar shingle repairs are typical projects for homes this close to the water.
Harwich's south shore faces Nantucket Sound, with Allen, Wychmere and Saquatucket harbors and the Herring River cutting inland. Homes near the water are built for summer living, so decks, porches and outdoor showers take as much weather as the roof does.
Close to half of Harwich homes have been seasonal or occasional residences. On a summer house the goal is a deck and exterior that can sit closed up all winter and look right in June: composite or PVC decking, stainless hardware, and trim that will not cup or rot.
Harwich Center has a local historic district along Main and Parallel Streets, and the town reviews demolition of any building 100 years or older. Both are worth knowing about before an addition or a major exterior change on an older house.

FAQ
Siding & Trim in Harwich, MA: common questions
Do I need a permit for siding & trim in Harwich?
Replacing siding in Massachusetts needs a building permit, normally pulled by the contractor. In Harwich, permits go through the Harwich Building Department at Town Hall, 732 Main Street, Harwich, MA 02645, 508-430-7506. Exterior changes in Harwich can also need review by the Harwich Historic District and Historical Commission and the Conservation Commission, depending on where the house sits, so it is worth checking before work is scheduled.
What is the most durable siding for a Cape Cod home?
Fiber cement siding such as James Hardie is one of the most durable choices for Cape Cod because it does not rot, resists insects and holds paint well in salt air. Cedar shingles remain the traditional look and last a long time when installed over a ventilated wall. Vinyl is the lowest-cost option but can crack in cold weather and fade in sun.
Can you replace only part of my siding?
Yes. We regularly replace damaged sections of cedar shingles, clapboard and trim. Matching is easiest with natural cedar, which weathers to the same gray over time. With painted or pre-finished siding, an exact color match on one wall can be hard, so we will tell you before work starts if a full side is the better choice.
