Need additions & remodeling in Barre, MA? As a Northborough-based, licensed and insured contractor, Waterfront Construction brings 15+ years of hands-on experience to Barre homes.

Barre is in Worcester County, Massachusetts, established in 1774 and home to roughly 5,500 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 small town, which usually means a mix of older centre-of-town housing and newer subdivisions on the edges. It sits in Central Massachusetts. It is about 30 miles from our Northborough shop — about 45 minutes to an hour in normal traffic. Being close keeps estimates and site visits quick.
New England weather is hard on homes, and Barre is no exception — freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow and humid summers all take a toll. We approach additions & remodeling with materials and methods chosen to stand up to it, so your investment keeps looking good and performing well season after season.
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 Barre.
