Your local additions & remodeling contractor in Peabody
Hiring anyone for additions & remodeling in Peabody comes down to one question: will they finish what they started, the way they said they would? Waterfront Construction is a Massachusetts Registered Home Improvement Contractor (HIC #196540), fully insured, and small enough that the owner is on your job rather than running six others across the state.
Peabody is in Essex County, Massachusetts, established in 1868 and home to roughly 54,500 people. It was largely built out in the streetcar era, which tends to mean late-Victorian and early-1900s two- and three-family homes — solid framing, generous trim, and wiring and plumbing retrofitted more than once. We know the town well — from West Peabody, South Peabody and downtown Peabody to the quieter streets — and our additions & remodeling crews reach Peabody quickly from nearby Northborough. It is about 50 miles from our Northborough shop — about an hour in normal traffic.
New England weather is hard on homes, and Peabody is no exception — freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow and humid summers all take a toll. We approach additions & remodeling with materials and methods chosen to stand up to it, so your investment keeps looking good and performing well season after season.
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 Peabody, rather than a number that stops answering.
For the full detail on how we approach this work — materials, process and what to expect — see our additions & remodeling page.
