Replacement Windows & Doors 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
Replacement Windows & Doors in Truro, MA: common questions
Do I need a permit for replacement windows & doors in Truro?
Replacing windows and exterior doors needs a building permit in Massachusetts, and the new units have to meet the state energy code. 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.
Should I choose insert or full-frame window replacement?
Insert windows fit inside the existing frame and cost less, which works when the old frame is square and free of rot. Full-frame replacement removes everything down to the rough opening, so rotted sills can be fixed and new flashing installed. On older Cape Cod homes we often recommend full-frame for that reason.
Which window brands do you install?
We install Andersen and Marvin windows and doors. Both offer products suited to coastal New England, including models with divided lite patterns that keep the look of an older Cape house.
