Your local additions & remodeling contractor in Shrewsbury
Waterfront Construction is a trusted additions & remodeling contractor serving Shrewsbury, Massachusetts and the surrounding region. Working from our Northborough base, we're fully licensed, insured and owner-led — known for treating every Shrewsbury home like our own: on time, on budget, and done right the first time.
Shrewsbury is in Worcester County, Massachusetts, established in 1727 and home to roughly 38,500 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. We know the town well — from Lake Quinsigamond, the Grafton Street area and downtown Shrewsbury to the quieter streets — and our additions & remodeling crews reach Shrewsbury quickly from nearby Northborough. It is about 5 miles from our Northborough shop — about 15 minutes in normal traffic.
New work shouldn't announce itself. We match rooflines, trim profiles, siding exposure and interior finishes to what your Shrewsbury home already has, so the additions & remodeling reads as original rather than as something bolted on later.
Ask us for references before you commit. We're happy to point Shrewsbury homeowners at completed work nearby and at the people we did it for — that conversation tells you more about a contractor than any website can.
For the full detail on how we approach this work — materials, process and what to expect — see our additions & remodeling page.

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 Shrewsbury, the filing goes to Shrewsbury's building department.
