Your local decks contractor in Peabody
Need decks in Peabody, MA? As a Northborough-based, licensed and insured contractor, Waterfront Construction brings 15+ years of hands-on experience to Peabody 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.
Peabody is in Essex County, Massachusetts, established in 1868 and home to roughly 54,500 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. We know the town well — from West Peabody, South Peabody and downtown Peabody to the quieter streets — and our decks crews reach Peabody quickly from nearby Northborough. It is about 50 miles from our Northborough shop — about an hour in normal traffic.
Permitting and inspections vary town to town across the North Shore, and Peabody is no different. As your licensed contractor we file what the building department requires and schedule inspections around the work, so the paperwork never becomes your problem — or your delay.
Whether it's a single room or a whole-home project, we bring the same care, licensing and insurance to every Peabody 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 Peabody, 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 Peabody'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 Peabody, the filing goes to Peabody'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 Peabody's office before any work starts.
