Your local general contractor contractor in Holliston
Hiring anyone for general contractor in Holliston 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.
Holliston is in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, established in 1724 and home to roughly 15,000 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 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 17 miles from our Northborough shop — about 30 to 40 minutes in normal traffic. Being close keeps estimates and site visits quick.
If you may sell within a few years, what you choose matters as much as what you spend. We're straight with Holliston homeowners about which parts of a general contractor project tend to return at resale in the MetroWest region and which are purely for your own enjoyment. Both are good reasons to build.
Ask us for references before you commit. We're happy to point Holliston homeowners at completed work nearby and at the people we did it for — that conversation tells you more about a contractor than any website can.
For the full detail on how we approach this work — materials, process and what to expect — see our general contractor page.

What does a general contractor actually do?+
Holds the contract for the whole project and stays accountable for it: pulls the permits in the company's name, hires and schedules every trade, coordinates inspections, manages the budget and change orders, and answers for the finished result. You deal with one person instead of five.
When should I hire a general contractor instead of individual trades?+
Whenever the work crosses trades or needs a permit. A single room repaint does not need one. A kitchen, a bathroom, an addition, or anything that opens a wall does — because the cost of getting the sequence wrong is far higher than the coordination fee.
