Replacing a roof in Cotuit
Cotuit sits on a peninsula in the southwest corner of Barnstable, between Cotuit Bay and Popponesset Bay, with the Santuit River on the Mashpee line. Its Main Street village center is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Roofs close to Cotuit Bay and the sound take wind and salt air from every storm. When we replace a roof in Cotuit, we tear off to the deck, replace rotted sheathing, and use flashing and fasteners suited to the coast.
Many houses in Cotuit’s village center date from the 1800s and early 1900s, and the roof is a big part of how they look. On a house that age, a tear-off often uncovers original plank roof boards and old chimney flashing, so we plan for repairs to the roof deck before the new roof goes on. The permit comes from the Town of Barnstable.

“I’ve worked with Joe and his team on several projects and the workmanship is consistently excellent. Their attention to detail and the ease of communication is second to none. Highly recommended.”

Roofing in Cotuit: FAQ
Do I need a permit to replace a roof in Cotuit?
Yes. A roof replacement needs a building permit from the Barnstable Building Department, and the town inspects the work. We pull the permit.
Do you do roofing in Cotuit village and Santuit?
Yes. We replace and repair roofs all over Cotuit, including Cotuit village and Santuit. Our base in South Yarmouth is about 16 miles away.
Do I need historic approval to reroof a house in the Cotuit historic district?
The district is a National Register listing, which recognizes the village center but does not by itself review private work. A roof replacement needs a building permit from the Town of Barnstable.
Can you put new shingles over the old ones?
Only if the roof has one layer now and the deck is sound. The code allows a maximum of two layers of asphalt shingles, and on most replacements we recommend a full tear-off.
