Your local decks contractor in Holliston
Hiring anyone for decks in Holliston 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.
Holliston is in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, established in 1724 and home to roughly 15,000 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 the MetroWest region. It is about 17 miles from our Northborough shop — about 30 to 40 minutes in normal traffic. Being close keeps estimates and site visits quick.
New England weather is hard on homes, and Holliston is no exception — freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow and humid summers all take a toll. We approach decks with materials and methods chosen to stand up to it, so your investment keeps looking good and performing well season after season.
From permits and materials to the final finish and clean-up, you work directly with the owner from start to finish — one accountable point of contact for your whole decks project in Holliston.

Do I need a permit for decks in Holliston, 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 Holliston'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 Holliston, the filing goes to Holliston'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 Holliston's office before any work starts.
