Your local additions & remodeling contractor in Dedham
Good additions & remodeling in Dedham is mostly invisible: the preparation underneath, the flashing you never see, the measurement taken twice. Waterfront Construction builds that way because the owner signs off on every job personally — and because a callback costs us far more than doing it right the first time.
Dedham is in Norfolk County, Massachusetts, established in 1636 and home to roughly 25,500 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 Oakdale, Riverdale and East Dedham to the quieter streets — and our additions & remodeling crews reach Dedham quickly from nearby Northborough. It is about 30 miles from our Northborough shop — about 45 minutes to an hour in normal traffic.
Permitting and inspections vary town to town across Greater Boston, and Dedham is no different. As your licensed contractor we file what the building department requires and schedule inspections around the work, so the paperwork never becomes your problem — or your delay.
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 Dedham that responsiveness isn't a courtesy — it's what keeps the job moving.
