Building in Duxbury
Local know-how for Duxbury homes
Duxbury sits on Duxbury Bay, protected by the long barrier of Duxbury Beach and reached by the wooden Powder Point Bridge. Neighborhoods such as Powder Point, Snug Harbor, Ashdod and Tinkertown hold antique colonials and capes, shingled waterfront homes and newer houses on large wooded lots, with Island Creek and the marshes along the bay shore. Bay front homes take salt air and northeast storms, so we favor composite or PVC decking, stainless fasteners and cedar shingles over a good weather barrier. Antique homes need trim, window and siding work that respects their original proportions. Many Duxbury lots border marshes or the bay, which can bring conservation commission review into the permit process. Duxbury projects are run from the PLJ South Shore office in Cohasset.

FAQ
Duxbury FAQ
Can PLJ match the trim and siding on an antique Duxbury colonial?
Yes. We replace rotted trim and siding to match the existing profiles, using wood or PVC trim and cedar shingles or clapboard, so the repair blends in with the original house.
Do I need conservation approval for a deck on a Duxbury marsh lot?
If the deck is within 100 feet of a marsh, the bay or another wetland resource area, it likely needs Duxbury Conservation Commission review under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act, in addition to a building permit.
What roofing is best for a Duxbury home on the bay?
Wind rated architectural asphalt shingles are the most common choice, installed with ice and water barrier at eaves and valleys and careful flashing. Some antique homes use cedar roofing, which PLJ can discuss during the estimate visit.
