Your local decks contractor in Wilmington
Wilmington homeowners usually call us for one of two reasons: something has failed and needs fixing properly, or they are ready to invest in a house they intend to stay in. Waterfront Construction handles both — licensed, insured decks from a Northborough team that has worked across Greater Boston since 2018.
Wilmington is in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, established in 1730 and home to roughly 23,500 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 Greater Boston. It is about 35 miles from our Northborough shop — about 45 minutes to an hour in normal traffic. Being close keeps estimates and site visits quick.
We treat your Wilmington 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.
You're allowed to change your mind. Scope shifts on plenty of Wilmington 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 Wilmington, 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 Wilmington'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 Wilmington, the filing goes to Wilmington'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 Wilmington's office before any work starts.
