Your local additions & remodeling contractor in Burlington
Waterfront Construction has been building and remodelling for Burlington and the rest of Greater Boston 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.
Burlington is in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, established in 1799 and home to roughly 26,500 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 mid-sized town with a genuinely varied housing stock, from the oldest streets to recent construction. It sits in Greater Boston. It is about 35 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 Burlington 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.
You're allowed to change your mind. Scope shifts on plenty of Burlington projects once walls are open or samples are on site, and we re-price it in writing before anything proceeds — never quietly added to the final bill.
For the full detail on how we approach this work — materials, process and what to expect — see our additions & remodeling page.

An addition always needs a permit, and usually more than one.

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 Town of Burlington, the filing goes to Burlington's building department.
