How does Cape Cod’s coastal weather affect home renovations?

Cape Cod’s salt air, humidity, and strong winds can be tough on materials. We select weather-resistant woods and finishes built for coastal conditions — like cedar, mahogany, and composite decking — to ensure your home looks beautiful and holds up year-round. Our renovation plans always account for moisture control, ventilation, and long-term durability.

What’s the best way to weatherproof a Cape Cod home?

We use proven coastal techniques — including proper flashing, marine-grade sealants, and vented rain screens — to protect against moisture damage and rot. Regular maintenance, such as re-sealing decks and repainting trim, also helps preserve your investment. If your home is older, we can inspect and upgrade insulation and siding for better energy efficiency without changing your home’s character.

Can you renovate historic homes on Cape Cod?

Absolutely. We specialize in working with Cape Cod’s historic and antique homes — preserving original details while improving structure and function. Our team respects historical integrity and uses period-appropriate materials where possible, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern building standards.

What types of carpentry projects do you take on?

Beech Tree Carpentry handles everything from custom decks, additions, and kitchen remodels to fine finish work and full-home renovations. Whether you need a new outdoor space or restoration of a 19th-century home, we bring hands-on expertise to every detail.

How long does a renovation or deck build take?

Most small renovations or deck projects take a few weeks, while full remodels can range from one to three months depending on scope and permitting. We provide a clear project timeline and regular updates, so you always know what to expect.

Do you handle permitting or coastal construction restrictions?

Yes. Cape Cod’s coastal zone regulations can be complex, and we’re experienced in working with local building departments and conservation commissions. We can guide you through permitting and ensure your project meets all state and town requirements.

Do you offer maintenance or seasonal services?

We do. Many Cape Cod homeowners use our team for seasonal check-ins — inspecting decks, trim, and exterior woodwork for wear from salt air and weather. Regular upkeep helps extend the life of your investment and keeps your home looking its best through every season.
