Your local additions & remodeling contractor in Boxford
Waterfront Construction has been building and remodelling for Boxford and the rest of the Merrimack Valley since 2018. We are licensed, insured, and deliberately small: enough crew to keep a schedule, few enough jobs at once that your additions & remodeling project never becomes the one that gets squeezed.
Boxford is in Essex County, Massachusetts, established in 1685 and home to roughly 8,200 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. 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 Merrimack Valley. It is about 50 miles from our Northborough shop — about an hour in normal traffic. Being close keeps estimates and site visits quick.
New England weather is hard on homes, and Boxford 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.
Whether it's a single room or a whole-home project, we bring the same care, licensing and insurance to every Boxford job — and we don't consider it done until you're completely happy with the result.
For the full detail on how we approach this work — materials, process and what to expect — see our additions & remodeling page.
