Your local additions & remodeling contractor in Arlington
Hiring anyone for additions & remodeling in Arlington 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.
Arlington is in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, established in 1807 and home to roughly 46,500 people. Its growth came with the mills and the railroads, so much of the older housing is mid-1800s worker and merchant stock — balloon framing, deep sash windows, and porches that have usually been rebuilt at least once. We know the town well — from Arlington Heights, East Arlington and Arlington Center to the quieter streets — and our additions & remodeling crews reach Arlington quickly from nearby Northborough. It is about 30 miles from our Northborough shop — about 45 minutes to 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 Arlington homeowners about which parts of a additions & remodeling project tend to return at resale in Greater Boston and which are purely for your own enjoyment. Both are good reasons to build.
From permits and materials to the final finish and clean-up, you work directly with the owner from start to finish — one accountable point of contact for your whole additions & remodeling project in Arlington.
For the full detail on how we approach this work — materials, process and what to expect — see our additions & remodeling page.
