Building in Scituate
Local know-how for Scituate homes
Scituate is one of the most exposed towns on the South Shore, with Scituate Harbor, Minot, Egypt, the Sand Hills and the cliffs of Third and Fourth Cliff facing the open Atlantic, and Humarock on a barrier beach across the North River. Inland, Greenbush and North Scituate hold capes, colonials and newer homes on wooded lots. The coastal neighborhoods take nor'easters head on, with storm surge, spray and high wind, and many houses there are being raised, rebuilt or reinforced. On the shore we use composite or PVC decking with stainless hardware, PVC trim and carefully flashed siding, and inland homes get materials matched to shade and moisture instead. Waterfront lots in mapped flood zones must meet extra building code requirements, and coastal work often needs conservation commission review. Our Cohasset office is next door to Scituate.

FAQ
Scituate FAQ
Can PLJ repair storm damage on a Scituate home?
Yes. After a nor'easter we secure the house, tarp damaged roofs, document the damage for your insurance claim, and make permanent repairs to roofing, siding, trim and decks.
Does a flood zone change how a deck is built in Scituate?
It can. Homes in a FEMA flood zone must meet extra state building code requirements for new work and major additions, and the Scituate building department confirms what applies during permit review. PLJ designs the deck around those requirements.
What siding is best for a Scituate oceanfront home?
Fiber cement and cedar shingles both perform well when installed over a proper weather barrier, with stainless or hot dipped fasteners and PVC trim. Careful flashing at every opening keeps wind driven rain out.
