Your local kitchen & bath remodeling contractor in Reading
Many Reading homes were built long before the materials and codes we work with today, which is exactly why kitchen & bath remodeling here rewards a contractor who has opened up a few walls locally. Waterfront Construction has been doing that across Greater Boston since 2018 — licensed, insured and owner-supervised.
Reading is in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, established in 1644 and home to roughly 25,500 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 mid-sized town with a genuinely varied housing stock, from the oldest streets to recent construction. It sits in Greater Boston. It is about 40 miles from our Northborough shop — about 45 minutes to an hour in normal traffic. Being close keeps estimates and site visits quick.
Season matters more than most homeowners expect in Greater Boston. Exterior work has a window, interior work doesn't, and planning kitchen & bath remodeling in Reading around that window is usually the difference between a smooth job and one fighting the weather. We'll tell you honestly when to start.
Ask us for references before you commit. We're happy to point Reading 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.

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