Your local decks contractor in Millis
Waterfront Construction is a trusted decks contractor serving Millis, Massachusetts and the surrounding region. Working from our Northborough base, we're fully licensed, insured and owner-led — known for treating every Millis home like our own: on time, on budget, and done right the first time.
Millis is in Norfolk County, Massachusetts, established in 1885 and home to roughly 8,500 people. It was largely built out in the streetcar era, which tends to mean late-Victorian and early-1900s two- and three-family homes — solid framing, generous trim, and wiring and plumbing retrofitted more than once. 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 20 miles from our Northborough shop — about 30 to 40 minutes in normal traffic. Being close keeps estimates and site visits quick.
We treat your Millis home the way we'd want our own treated: clean job sites, clear daily communication, and respect for your time and property. When the decks project wraps, the only thing we leave behind is work you'll be proud to show off.
Whether it's a single room or a whole-home project, we bring the same care, licensing and insurance to every Millis job — and we don't consider it done until you're completely happy with the result.
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 Millis, 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 Millis'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 Millis, the filing goes to Millis'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 Millis's office before any work starts.
