Your local decks contractor in Taunton
Many Taunton homes were built long before the materials and codes we work with today, which is exactly why decks here rewards a contractor who has opened up a few walls locally. Waterfront Construction has been doing that across the South Shore & Southeastern Massachusetts since 2018 — licensed, insured and owner-supervised.
Taunton is in Bristol County, Massachusetts, established in 1639 and home to roughly 59,500 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 Whittenton, Oakland and East Taunton to the quieter streets — and our decks crews reach Taunton quickly from nearby Northborough. It is about 50 miles from our Northborough shop — about an hour in normal traffic.
If you may sell within a few years, what you choose matters as much as what you spend. We're straight with Taunton homeowners about which parts of a decks project tend to return at resale in the South Shore & Southeastern Massachusetts and which are purely for your own enjoyment. Both are good reasons to build.
If we're not the right fit for your decks project in Taunton — wrong timing, wrong scale, wrong specialism — we'll say so and point you somewhere better. An honest no costs us one job; a bad yes costs us a reputation across the South Shore & Southeastern Massachusetts.

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