Your local decks contractor in Beverly
Hiring anyone for decks in Beverly comes down to one question: will they finish what they started, the way they said they would? Waterfront Construction is a Massachusetts Registered Home Improvement Contractor (HIC #196540), fully insured, and small enough that the owner is on your job rather than running six others across the state.
Beverly is in Essex County, Massachusetts, established in 1668 and home to roughly 42,500 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 large community, so the housing runs the full range of eras and budgets. It sits in the North Shore. It is about 55 miles from our Northborough shop — about an hour in normal traffic. Being close keeps estimates and site visits quick.
Every Beverly project starts with listening. We walk the space with you, understand how you actually live in your home, and give you straight answers about what's possible, what it will cost and how long it will take — before any work begins.
Ready when you are: reach out for a free, no-obligation estimate and we'll walk you through exactly how we'd approach your Beverly 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.

Do I need a permit for decks in Beverly, 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 Beverly's building and inspectional services 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 City of Beverly, the filing goes to Beverly's building and inspectional services 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 Beverly's office before any work starts.
