Your local additions & remodeling contractor in Stow
Every additions & remodeling quote in Stow should be comparable line by line — scope, materials, timeline, price. Ours is, deliberately, because vague quotes are where budgets go wrong. Waterfront Construction is Northborough-based, licensed (HIC #196540) and insured, and the estimate is free either way.
Stow is in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, established in 1683 and home to roughly 7,200 people. That makes it one of the oldest communities in the state, so the older streets carry genuine antique stock — post-and-beam frames, hand-cut joinery, plaster over lath, and additions layered on across three centuries. 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 the MetroWest region. It is about 13 miles from our Northborough shop — about 20 to 30 minutes in normal traffic. Being close keeps estimates and site visits quick.
Homes around Stow 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.
Call and you get a person, usually the owner. Message us and you get an answer within one business day. On a additions & remodeling project in Stow that responsiveness isn't a courtesy — it's what keeps the job moving.
