Building in Bourne

Local know-how for Bourne homes

Bourne is the gateway town, split by the Cape Cod Canal. Buzzards Bay, Sagamore, Sagamore Beach and Bournedale sit on the mainland side, while Pocasset, Cataumet, Monument Beach and Gray Gables line the Buzzards Bay shore on the Cape side. PLJ builds decks, siding and roofs for both halves of town. The western shoreline takes southwest winds straight off Buzzards Bay, and Sagamore Beach homes face Cape Cod Bay from the bluffs, so salt air and wind drive most of our material choices here. Housing ranges from summer cottages that have become year round homes to capes, raised ranches and newer houses near the canal. Exposed decks benefit from composite or PVC boards and solid railing connections, and roofs on the water need careful flashing and wind rated shingles. Bourne projects are run from the PLJ Cape Cod office in South Yarmouth.

What shapes projects here

  • Villages on both sides of the Cape Cod Canal
  • Buzzards Bay shoreline exposed to prevailing southwest winds
  • Many former summer cottages converted to year round homes

FAQ

Bourne FAQ

Does PLJ work on both sides of the canal in Bourne?

Yes. We serve the whole town, from Buzzards Bay, Sagamore and Bournedale on the mainland side to Pocasset, Cataumet and Monument Beach on the Cape side.

Can PLJ turn an old Bourne cottage deck into something that lasts?

Yes. Many cottage decks in Bourne were built for summer use and have undersized framing or failing footings. We inspect the structure, replace what is unsafe, and rebuild with framing, fasteners and decking suited to year round salt air exposure.

Do I need a permit to build a deck in Bourne?

In most cases, yes. New decks and deck rebuilds generally need a building permit from the Bourne building department, and work within 100 feet of a wetland, beach or coastal bank also needs conservation commission review under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act. PLJ helps you with the permit application.
