Building in Harwich
Local know-how for Harwich homes
Harwich lies along Nantucket Sound between Dennis and Chatham, with Harwich Port, West Harwich, South Harwich, East Harwich, North Harwich and Pleasant Lake as its villages. Wychmere, Saquatucket and Allen Harbors give the south side a working waterfront feel, and Long Pond and old cranberry bogs shape the north. Homes range from classic shingled capes and beach cottages near the Sound to larger new houses in East Harwich. Most PLJ work in Harwich starts with the deck and the siding, then moves to the roof. Homes near the harbors take salt spray and humid summer air that wear on wood decks and cheap fasteners, so we often recommend composite or PVC decking with stainless hardware. Cedar shingle siding fits most streets here and lasts well when installed over a proper drainage plane. Our Cape Cod office in South Yarmouth runs every Harwich project.

FAQ
Harwich FAQ
Can PLJ rebuild a weathered deck near Harwich Port?
Yes. We check the framing and footings, replace anything that has rotted or rusted, and rebuild with composite, PVC or wood decking and hardware chosen for salt air.
What is the best siding for a Harwich cape?
Cedar shingles are the traditional choice and suit most Harwich neighborhoods. Fiber cement and vinyl are lower maintenance options. PLJ installs all three and can show you samples during the estimate visit.
Do I need conservation approval for a deck on Long Pond in Harwich?
If the deck is within 100 feet of the pond or another wetland resource area, it likely needs review by the Harwich Conservation Commission under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act, along with a building permit.
