Local know-how for Hingham homes

Hingham wraps around Hingham Harbor, with World's End and the Weir River estuary on one side and the Back River on the other. Main Street and the streets around Hingham Square hold one of the South Shore's largest collections of antique colonials and early houses, while Crow Point, the Hingham Shipyard area and South Hingham mix shingle style homes, newer colonials and large wooded lots. A new deck behind a Main Street colonial and a roof on a newer home near the Shipyard call for very different approaches. Hingham has local historic districts overseen by its Historic Districts Commission, and almost any exterior work on a property inside a district needs a certificate, even painting or a fence. Harbor front homes also face salt air and storm wind, and lots near the marshes may need conservation commission review. Our South Shore office in Cohasset, next door, runs every Hingham project.

FAQ

Hingham FAQ

Do I need a certificate from the Hingham Historic Districts Commission for a new deck?

If your property is in one of Hingham's local historic districts, yes. The town requires a certificate for almost all work on properties in a district, with only minor landscaping excepted. Exterior changes visible from a public way need a Certificate of Appropriateness after a public hearing. PLJ can help you prepare the application.

Can PLJ repair rotted trim on an antique Hingham home?

Yes. We remove rotted trim, fix any damaged sheathing behind it, and replace it with matching wood or PVC profiles. In a historic district, check material choices with the commission first.

How long does a roof replacement take in Hingham?

Most residential roof replacements take a few days, depending on the size and complexity of the roof and the weather. PLJ gives you a schedule with your estimate.
