THE "WARM WATER" THREAT: HUMIDITY AND SALT

Why Standard Siding Fails Between Route 28 and the Mid-Cape Highway.

Harwich presents a specific atmospheric challenge that differs from the Bayside. The water in Nantucket Sound is warmer, generating higher year-round humidity.

In Harwich Port & West Harwich: The primary enemy is wind-driven salt mist. It corrodes standard aluminum nails and creates a "sandblasting" effect on inferior paint jobs, leading to rapid peeling and failure.
In East Harwich & The Center: The issue shifts to "Shade Rot." The dense tree cover near Long Pond and the cranberry bogs traps moisture against the house. If your siding was installed without a proper air gap, fungi and mildew are likely rotting your sheathing from the outside in.

A generic “Cape Cod” installation doesn’t work here. If your contractor uses galvanized fasteners near Wychmere Harbor, they will rust. If they nail cedar tight to the wall in the woods of East Harwich, it will cup and split.

THE HARWICH ENVELOPE STRATEGY

Our protocol for durable exteriors in the Lower Cape region.

The Forensic Strip-Down

We do not guess, we verify. We strip your home down to the bare sheathing. In Harwich homes built in the 70s and 80s, we frequently find compromised plywood near window flashings. We repair the framing integrity before a single piece of new siding is applied.

Hydro-Gap® Drainage Systems

For our Harwich Port clients, we often recommend a drainable house wrap. This technology uses small spacers to create a gap between the weather barrier and the siding. This allows the driving rain and humidity from the Sound to drain away instantly, rather than soaking into your walls.

Corrosion-Proof Fastening

We treat every home in Harwich as if it were oceanfront. We utilize high-grade stainless steel ring-shank nails exclusively. This prevents the ugly black "tear streaks" of rust that ruin the aesthetic of white cedar or clapboard.

PVC & Composite Integration

For the trim, fascia, and rake boards, areas most susceptible to rot, we fabricate using architectural PVC (AZEK) or Kleer lumber. It provides the visual weight of wood but remains impervious to the salt air and moisture of the Harwich climate.

Active Site Supervision

A Lions Project Manager is assigned to your specific job. They are there to ensure the flashing is taped correctly, the courses are level, and the site is kept orderly. You are never left managing the crew yourself.

AVOID THE "SPOT REPAIR" TRAP

Many homeowners in Harwich attempt to chase rot by replacing individual shingles or clapboards as they fail. This is often a losing battle. By the time exterior cladding shows visible signs of failure on the surface, the moisture damage behind it has often spread to the insulation and framing.

Patchwork repairs often mismatch the weathering of the home and fail to address the root cause: water infiltration. Lions provides a comprehensive assessment to determine if a full envelope replacement is the more financially sound investment for the asset.

HARWICH TRANSFORMATIONS

Whether it is updating a classic Greek Revival in Harwich Center with historically accurate materials or outfitting a summer retreat near Red River Beach with storm-rated polymer shingles, our results speak to our discipline. We balance aesthetic tradition with modern material science.

From sales and estimating through scheduling and field coordinating all of your assets have been far above average. Ty made a great presentation as a sales representative of your company and Iago supervised a very competent crew, responded to my concerns about schedule and finished this job early with little interruption in our lives. Thank you again for your excellent service.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ty Soares, who works for this company, is a kind individual, a man who can be relied on and trusted. He found me stranded and lost with my two dogs in a conservation area parking lot and took time out of his busy day to give my dogs water and he drove me and my dogs to my car which was a few miles away. I am getting an estimate for new windows from this company because if their employees are like Ty, that is who I want to do business with.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thanks to Yuri, Ty, Gabriel and the entire Lions Roofing Team for an amazing job installing our new roof. From start to finish, this is a first class company that makes sure they deliver what they promise and that the customer is satisfied when the job is complete. Ty did a thorough pre-inspection of both the inside and outside of the roof area, eaves ridge and gutters. The written quote was one of the best I've ever received and they provided copies of their insurance and license for piece of mind. Project Manager Gabriel was on site before, during and after completion, and always available to answer any questions. The overall job was completed in one day, with a follow-up day for a couple of hours to finish a couple of additional requests I had. One point I must bring up was how clean the job site was after they were done. If you have any roofing or siding projects coming up. I give my endorsement to Lions Siding and Roofing!
Thanks again!
