Your local additions & remodeling contractor in Leicester
Looking for reliable additions & remodeling in Leicester, Massachusetts? Waterfront Construction has served Leicester and the surrounding communities since 2018. Based right in nearby Northborough, we're a licensed, insured local team — not an out-of-town outfit — so Leicester homeowners get fast response, honest pricing, and craftsmanship that lasts.
Leicester is in Worcester County, Massachusetts, established in 1714 and home to roughly 11,000 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 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 18 miles from our Northborough shop — about 30 to 40 minutes in normal traffic. Being close keeps estimates and site visits quick.
Homes around Leicester range from classic New England colonials and capes to newer construction, and each one calls for a slightly different approach. We tailor every additions & remodeling project to the age, style and condition of your home — never a one-size-fits-all template — so the finished work looks like it was always meant to be there.
We stand behind what we build. If something isn't right after we've gone, you call and we come back — that's the point of being licensed, insured and easy to find in Leicester, rather than a number that stops answering.
