Your local decks contractor in Northborough
Hiring anyone for decks in Northborough 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.
Northborough is in Worcester County, Massachusetts, established in 1775 and home to roughly 15,500 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 mid-sized town with a genuinely varied housing stock, from the oldest streets to recent construction. It sits in Central Massachusetts. Being close keeps estimates and site visits quick.
New England weather is hard on homes, and Northborough 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.
The job isn't finished when the work is. We haul away the debris, protect and clean everything we touched, and walk the whole decks project with you in Northborough before we ask for the final payment.
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 Northborough, 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 Northborough'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 Northborough, the filing goes to Northborough'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 Northborough's office before any work starts.
