DurfeePLUMBING & HEATINGYour home. Our hometown.Local plumbing, heating & cooling
Provincetown is unlike any other Cape town: dense historic construction, narrow streets, mixed-use buildings, guest properties and a residential stock dominated by condos, apartments and multifamily structures.
How Provincetown homes differ
Cape Cod Commission data shows nearly 73% of Provincetown residential properties are multifamily, about 52% of housing units are seasonal, and most housing predates 1950. Shared utilities, limited mechanical rooms, roof or alley access and occupied neighboring units make diagnosis and scheduling materially different from a detached suburban home.

From our work in Provincetown
Durfee replaced a shower valve at this Provincetown property. The project photo shows the valve body and copper connections through the open wall, with the surrounding framing exposed during the repair.
When planning a shower-valve replacement, access behind the shower and the condition of the existing connections help define the scope. Discussing wall access and finish-restoration responsibilities before work starts helps homeowners understand what the repair involves.
