Your local additions & remodeling contractor in Lancaster
Many Lancaster homes were built long before the materials and codes we work with today, which is exactly why additions & remodeling here rewards a contractor who has opened up a few walls locally. Waterfront Construction has been doing that across Central Massachusetts since 2018 — licensed, insured and owner-supervised.
Lancaster is in Worcester County, Massachusetts, established in 1653 and home to roughly 8,400 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. 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 Central Massachusetts. It is about 11 miles from our Northborough shop — about 20 to 30 minutes in normal traffic. Being close keeps estimates and site visits quick.
Permitting and inspections vary town to town across Central Massachusetts, and Lancaster 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.
