Your local kitchen & bath remodeling contractor in Franklin
Good kitchen & bath remodeling in Franklin is mostly invisible: the preparation underneath, the flashing you never see, the measurement taken twice. Waterfront Construction builds that way because the owner signs off on every job personally — and because a callback costs us far more than doing it right the first time.
Franklin is in Norfolk County, Massachusetts, established in 1778 and home to roughly 33,500 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. For a contractor that makes it a mid-sized town with a genuinely varied housing stock, from the oldest streets to recent construction. It sits in the MetroWest region. It is about 25 miles from our Northborough shop — about 45 minutes to an hour in normal traffic. Being close keeps estimates and site visits quick.
If you may sell within a few years, what you choose matters as much as what you spend. We're straight with Franklin homeowners about which parts of a kitchen & bath remodeling project tend to return at resale in the MetroWest region and which are purely for your own enjoyment. Both are good reasons to build.
Call and you get a person, usually the owner. Message us and you get an answer within one business day. On a kitchen & bath remodeling project in Franklin that responsiveness isn't a courtesy — it's what keeps the job moving.

The finishes are exempt; what is behind them usually is not.
780 CMR exempts cabinets, counter tops, tiling and similar finish work from a building permit. But a kitchen or bathroom remodel almost always triggers separate electrical, plumbing and gas permits, and moving or removing any wall needs a building permit of its own. We pull whichever apply.
For kitchen & bath remodeling work in the City of Franklin, the filing goes to Franklin's building and inspectional services 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 Franklin's office before any work starts.
