Your local additions & remodeling contractor in Franklin
Waterfront Construction has been building and remodelling for Franklin and the rest of the MetroWest region 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.
Franklin is in Norfolk County, Massachusetts, established in 1778 and home to roughly 33,500 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 the MetroWest region. It is about 25 miles from our Northborough shop — about 45 minutes to an hour in normal traffic. Being close keeps estimates and site visits quick.
Timelines are where most contractors lose trust. We give Franklin homeowners a start date we can hold, sequence the trades so nobody waits on anybody, and tell you the same day if something moves. A realistic schedule beats an optimistic one every time.
If we're not the right fit for your additions & remodeling project in Franklin — wrong timing, wrong scale, wrong specialism — we'll say so and point you somewhere better. An honest no costs us one job; a bad yes costs us a reputation across the MetroWest region.

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 Franklin, the filing goes to Franklin'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 Franklin's office before any work starts.
