Your local additions & remodeling contractor in Haverhill
Good additions & remodeling in Haverhill 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.
Haverhill is in Essex County, Massachusetts, established in 1641 and home to roughly 68,000 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 Bradford, Rocks Village and downtown Haverhill to the quieter streets — and our additions & remodeling crews reach Haverhill quickly from nearby Northborough. It is about 55 miles from our Northborough shop — about an hour in normal traffic.
Permitting and inspections vary town to town across the Merrimack Valley, and Haverhill 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.
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 Haverhill 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.
