Your local decks contractor in Andover
Waterfront Construction has been building and remodelling for Andover and the rest of the Merrimack Valley since 2018. We are licensed, insured, and deliberately small: enough crew to keep a schedule, few enough jobs at once that your decks project never becomes the one that gets squeezed.
Andover is in Essex County, Massachusetts, established in 1646 and home to roughly 36,500 people. That makes it one of the oldest communities in the state, so the older streets carry genuine antique stock — post-and-beam frames, hand-cut joinery, plaster over lath, and additions layered on across three centuries. For a contractor that makes it a mid-sized town with a genuinely varied housing stock, from the oldest streets to recent construction. It sits in the Merrimack Valley. It is about 45 miles from our Northborough shop — about an hour in normal traffic. Being close keeps estimates and site visits quick.
Timelines are where most contractors lose trust. We give Andover homeowners a start date we can hold, sequence the trades so nobody waits on anybody, and tell you the same day if something moves. A realistic schedule beats an optimistic one every time.
Ready when you are: reach out for a free, no-obligation estimate and we'll walk you through exactly how we'd approach your Andover decks project — clear pricing, a realistic timeline, and answers to every question.
For the full detail on how we approach this work — materials, process and what to expect — see our decks page.

Which nearby communities do you also cover?+

Do I need a permit for decks in Andover, MA?+
Yes, almost certainly. Massachusetts exempts a deck only if it is under 200 sq ft, under 30 inches high, unattached to the house and not serving a required exit door — all four at once. Any deck off your back door needs a permit, and we file it for you. We file it with Andover's building department as a Registered Home Improvement Contractor (MA HIC #196540).
Composite or wood — which is better?+
Composite costs more up front but needs almost no maintenance and lasts longer. Wood is budget-friendly and classic but needs periodic sealing. We help you weigh the trade-offs.

Almost every real deck needs a building permit in Massachusetts.
780 CMR exempts a deck only if it meets ALL four conditions at once: no more than 200 sq ft, no more than 30 inches above grade at any point, not attached to the dwelling, and not serving a required exit door. A deck off your back door, or any deck attached to the house, fails that test — so plan on a permit and an inspection. We file it for you.
For decks work in the Town of Andover, the filing goes to Andover's building department. As a Massachusetts Registered Home Improvement Contractor (HIC #196540) we pull the permit in our name, book the inspections and meet the inspector on site — you never have to take a day off for it. Requirements do change, so we confirm the current position with Andover's office before any work starts.
