Your local decks contractor in Chester
Waterfront Construction provides professional decks for homeowners throughout Chester and nearby towns. From our base in Northborough we keep response times short and standards high — fully licensed and insured, owner-supervised on every job, and committed to leaving your Chester home better than we found it.
Chester is in Rockingham County, New Hampshire, established in 1722 and home to roughly 5,200 people. It was settled well before the Republic, which usually means a core of Federal and Greek Revival homes surrounded by later infill — plenty of hand-framed structure, and rooflines never meant to carry today's insulation. For a contractor that makes it a small town, which usually means a mix of older centre-of-town housing and newer subdivisions on the edges. It sits in Southern New Hampshire. It is about 60 miles from our Northborough shop — about an hour in normal traffic. Being close keeps estimates and site visits quick.
A decks project touches several trades, and the gaps between them are where problems hide. We coordinate all of them under one contract for Chester homeowners — one schedule, one standard, and nobody pointing at anybody else when a question comes up.
No surprises and no runaround: you get an itemized estimate up front, a realistic schedule, and honest updates if anything changes. That's how we've earned repeat business and referrals across Chester and the wider region.

Do I need a permit for decks in Chester, NH?+
It depends on your town. New Hampshire has no statewide residential enforcement — each municipality sets and enforces its own permit rules under RSA 155-A. We confirm the requirement with your building department before we start, then file whatever it asks for. We file it with Chester'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.

In New Hampshire, permit rules are set locally — not by the state.
New Hampshire’s State Building Code (RSA 155-A) adopts the 2021 IRC, but there is no statewide residential enforcement office: each municipality adopts and enforces it through its own building department. That means work exempt in one town may need a permit in the next. We confirm the requirement with your building department before we start, and we file whatever it asks for.
For decks work in the Town of Chester, the filing goes to Chester'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 Chester's office before any work starts.
