Your local decks contractor in Marlborough
Looking for reliable decks in Marlborough, Massachusetts? Waterfront Construction has served Marlborough and the surrounding communities since 2018. Based right in nearby Northborough, we're a licensed, insured local team — not an out-of-town outfit — so Marlborough homeowners get fast response, honest pricing, and craftsmanship that lasts.
Marlborough is in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, established in 1660 and home to roughly 42,000 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 downtown Marlborough, the Fort Meadow area and French Hill to the quieter streets — and our decks crews reach Marlborough quickly from nearby Northborough. It is about 6 miles from our Northborough shop — about 15 minutes in normal traffic.
Homes around Marlborough range from classic New England colonials and capes to newer construction, and each one calls for a slightly different approach. We tailor every decks project to the age, style and condition of your home — never a one-size-fits-all template — so the finished work looks like it was always meant to be there.
You're allowed to change your mind. Scope shifts on plenty of Marlborough projects once walls are open or samples are on site, and we re-price it in writing before anything proceeds — never quietly added to the final bill.
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 Marlborough, 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 Marlborough'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 Marlborough, the filing goes to Marlborough'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 Marlborough's office before any work starts.
