Your local additions & remodeling contractor in Chester
Waterfront Construction is a trusted additions & remodeling contractor serving Chester, New Hampshire and the surrounding region. Working from our Northborough base, we're fully licensed, insured and owner-led — known for treating every Chester home like our own: on time, on budget, and done right the first time.
Chester is in Rockingham County, New Hampshire, established in 1722 and home to roughly 5,200 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 Southern New Hampshire. It is about 60 miles from our Northborough shop — about an hour in normal traffic. Being close keeps estimates and site visits quick.
A additions & remodeling project touches several trades, and the gaps between them are where problems hide. We coordinate all of them under one contract for Chester homeowners — one schedule, one standard, and nobody pointing at anybody else when a question comes up.
The job isn't finished when the work is. We haul away the debris, protect and clean everything we touched, and walk the whole additions & remodeling project with you in Chester before we ask for the final payment.
For the full detail on how we approach this work — materials, process and what to expect — see our additions & remodeling page.

In New Hampshire, permit rules are set locally — not by the state.
New Hampshire’s State Building Code (RSA 155-A) adopts the 2021 IRC, but there is no statewide residential enforcement office: each municipality adopts and enforces it through its own building department. That means work exempt in one town may need a permit in the next. We confirm the requirement with your building department before we start, and we file whatever it asks for.
For additions & remodeling work in the Town of Chester, the filing goes to Chester's building 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 Chester's office before any work starts.
