Harwich, MA

Harwich sits on the south shore of Cape Cod, ten to fifteen minutes from our Dennis shop. We’ve worked across the town for decades — from the working harbor at Saquatucket and the year-round neighborhoods around East Harwich, to the second-home stretches lining Pleasant Bay and Wychmere.

What makes Harwich different

Harwich has more shoreline than most Cape towns — Pleasant Bay to the east, Nantucket Sound to the south, two natural harbors, and the cranberry bogs in between. The homes reflect it. We do a lot of:

  • Waterfront and water-view homes — both new construction and renovation
  • Cottage-to-year-round conversions — older seasonal cottages getting upgraded for full-time use
  • Boat-adjacent renovations — homes with private docks or near the harbors that need to fit the working-water aesthetic
  • Cranberry-bog-edge lots — distinctive Cape inland sites with their own conservation considerations

If you’re buying a Harwich home that needs work, or you’ve owned one for decades and are ready for the next round, we’ve probably already done something similar within a mile of you.

What we do most in Harwich

  • Whole-home renovations — converting seasonal cottages to year-round homes is one of our most common Harwich projects
  • Custom homes — particularly on tear-down lots near Pleasant Bay and Wychmere
  • Additions — primary suites, screened porches, second-story add-ons
  • Kitchen and bathroom remodels

Harwich-specific considerations

  • Pleasant Bay area — many lots fall under Conservation Commission review for wetlands and coastal banks. Setbacks and footprint expansion can be tight.
  • Title 5 septic — older Harwich homes, especially seasonal cottages being converted, frequently need septic upgrades before a renovation is permitted.
  • Saquatucket and Wychmere Harbor zoning — properties in or near the harbor districts have specific permit considerations.
  • Cranberry bog edges — historic agricultural land near bogs has its own zoning quirks; new construction here often requires extra review.
