Your local additions & remodeling contractor in Nahant
Waterfront Construction provides professional additions & remodeling for homeowners throughout Nahant and nearby towns. From our base in Northborough we keep response times short and standards high — fully licensed and insured, owner-supervised on every job, and committed to leaving your Nahant home better than we found it.
Nahant is in Essex County, Massachusetts, established in 1853 and home to roughly 3,300 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. For a contractor that makes it a small community where most work is word-of-mouth and your neighbours will notice who you hired. It sits in the North Shore. It is about 45 miles from our Northborough shop — about an hour in normal traffic. Being close keeps estimates and site visits quick.
Homes around Nahant 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.
From permits and materials to the final finish and clean-up, you work directly with the owner from start to finish — one accountable point of contact for your whole additions & remodeling project in Nahant.

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 Town of Nahant, the filing goes to Nahant's building 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 Nahant's office before any work starts.
