Your local additions & remodeling contractor in Lawrence
If you're planning additions & remodeling in Lawrence, MA, you want a contractor who shows up, communicates, and delivers. That's exactly what Waterfront Construction has built its reputation on across Eastern Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire since 2018 — owner-led work, fair and itemized pricing, and a finished result that holds up to New England's seasons.
Lawrence is in Essex County, Massachusetts, established in 1847 and home to roughly 89,000 people. Its growth came with the mills and the railroads, so much of the older housing is mid-1800s worker and merchant stock — balloon framing, deep sash windows, and porches that have usually been rebuilt at least once. We know the town well — from Tower Hill, the Arlington District and South Lawrence to the quieter streets — and our additions & remodeling crews reach Lawrence quickly from nearby Northborough. It is about 45 miles from our Northborough shop — about an hour in normal traffic.
Permitting and inspections vary town to town across the Merrimack Valley, and Lawrence 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 Lawrence 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.
