Waterfront Construction is a trusted additions & remodeling contractor serving Boston, Massachusetts and the surrounding region. Working from our Northborough base, we're fully licensed, insured and owner-led — known for treating every Boston home like our own: on time, on budget, and done right the first time.
Boston is in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, established in 1630 and home to roughly 676,000 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 Back Bay, the South End and Dorchester to the quieter streets — and our additions & remodeling crews reach Boston quickly from nearby Northborough. It is about 35 miles from our Northborough shop — about 45 minutes to an hour in normal traffic.
We treat your Boston home the way we'd want our own treated: clean job sites, clear daily communication, and respect for your time and property. When the additions & remodeling project wraps, the only thing we leave behind is work you'll be proud to show off.
Call and you get a person, usually the owner. Message us and you get an answer within one business day. On a additions & remodeling project in Boston that responsiveness isn't a courtesy — it's what keeps the job moving.

An addition always needs a permit, and usually more than one.
780 CMR only exempts minor finish work and small detached structures. Anything that changes the footprint, cuts into a load-bearing wall, alters a means of egress or touches the mechanical systems requires a building permit — typically alongside electrical, plumbing and gas permits. As your licensed contractor we file all of them and book the inspections.
For additions & remodeling work in the City of Boston, the filing goes to Boston'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 Boston's office before any work starts.
