Your local decks contractor in Dedham
Need decks in Dedham, MA? As a Northborough-based, licensed and insured contractor, Waterfront Construction brings 15+ years of hands-on experience to Dedham homes. From the first estimate to the final walkthrough you work directly with the owner — clear communication, fair pricing, and a finish built to last New England winters.
Dedham is in Norfolk County, Massachusetts, established in 1636 and home to roughly 25,500 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. We know the town well — from Oakdale, Riverdale and East Dedham to the quieter streets — and our decks crews reach Dedham quickly from nearby Northborough. It is about 30 miles from our Northborough shop — about 45 minutes to an hour in normal traffic.
If you may sell within a few years, what you choose matters as much as what you spend. We're straight with Dedham homeowners about which parts of a decks project tend to return at resale in Greater Boston and which are purely for your own enjoyment. Both are good reasons to build.
Ready when you are: reach out for a free, no-obligation estimate and we'll walk you through exactly how we'd approach your Dedham 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 Dedham, 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 Dedham'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 Dedham, the filing goes to Dedham'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 Dedham's office before any work starts.
