Harwich Exterior Trim

HARWICH TRIM INSTALLATION: SEALING YOUR HOME AGAINST COASTAL DECAY

From the historic captains’ homes in Harwich Port to the wooded estates of East Harwich, our approach is focused on structural integrity. We replace the rot, we never just hide it.

Custom Cellular PVC Fabrication: High-density millwork that captures the aesthetic of wood without the vulnerability to moisture.
Architectural Joinery: We utilize scarf joints and chemical welding to ensure your trim remains seamless through Harwich’s seasonal temperature swings.
In-House Oversight: We do not farm out our carpentry. Our uniformed, in-house teams manage every detail from the first rake board to the final fascia screw.
Professional Accreditation: Fully Licensed & Insured. Construction Supervisor License (CSL) 120645 | HIC 198901.

SALT AIR, SATURATED SOFFITS, & THE LOWER CAPE CLIMATE

Why Traditional Trim Fails in Harwich: The proximity to Nantucket Sound and the dense canopy of East Harwich create a “double threat” for exterior woodwork.

Harwich Port & South Harwich: Constant salt spray acts as a solvent, lifting paint from corner boards and window casings. Once the seal is broken, the damp coastal air saturates the wood, leading to rapid "soft rot."
East Harwich & Pleasant Lake: The issue here is often shade and wildlife. Moisture trapped behind dense foliage invites carpenter bees and woodpeckers, who find soft, water-damaged fascia boards to be the perfect nesting ground.

Most Harwich homeowners have dealt with the “Paint Cycle”, scraping and painting every three years, only to find the wood crumbling underneath. This isn’t just a cosmetic issue; it’s a failure of the home’s protective envelope.

THE "PERMANENT EDGE" PROTOCOL

How do we tailor our process to meet the specific demands of Harwich’s microclimates?

Comprehensive Rot Excision

We don't "cap" or "wrap." We perform a full tear-back of damaged rakes, soffits, and frieze boards. We inspect the underlying rafter tails and sub-fascia for structural integrity before any new material is applied.

Impervious PVC Transition

For most modern Harwich residences, we transition to premium cellular PVC (Azek or Kleer). This material is chemically engineered to be impervious to salt, rot, and insects. We mill it in-house to match the specific "Harwich Profile" of your existing architecture.

The Cortex Hidden Fastening System

To maintain a "display-window clear" finish, we use the Cortex system. Screws are driven below the surface, and a plug made of the same material is hammered in. This eliminates visible nail heads that eventually rust and bleed down your siding.

Expansion & Contraction Management

Without proper joinery, gaps appear at the corners. We use a combination of hidden "biscuits" and high-strength PVC cement to weld joints together, ensuring they remain tight during a January freeze or a July heatwave.

Historical Integrity (Harwich Center)

For homes within the Harwich Historic District, we source premium vertical-grain Western Red Cedar. We treat every cut end with primer to "back-seal" the wood, significantly extending the life of the paint and the board.

WHY "ALUMINUM WRAPPING" IS A TEMPORARY FIX

In Harwich, many contractors offer to “wrap” your existing trim in aluminum coil. While this provides an immediate clean look, it creates a “greenhouse effect.” It traps moisture against the old wood, accelerating rot where you can’t see it. This rot eventually migrates to your roof deck and rafters. At Lions Siding & Roofing, we prioritize the Lions Standard: we remove the decay and replace it with solid, moisture-impervious material. It is the only way to protect your investment for the long term.

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!
