Your local kitchen remodeling contractor in Boston
Waterfront Construction has been building and remodelling for Boston and the rest of Greater Boston since 2018. We are licensed, insured, and deliberately small: enough crew to keep a schedule, few enough jobs at once that your kitchen remodeling project never becomes the one that gets squeezed.
Boston is in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, established in 1630 and home to roughly 676,000 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. We know the town well — from Back Bay, the South End and Dorchester to the quieter streets — and our kitchen remodeling crews reach Boston quickly from nearby Northborough. It is about 35 miles from our Northborough shop — about 45 minutes to an hour in normal traffic.
If you may sell within a few years, what you choose matters as much as what you spend. We're straight with Boston homeowners about which parts of a kitchen remodeling project tend to return at resale in Greater Boston and which are purely for your own enjoyment. Both are good reasons to build.
From permits and materials to the final finish and clean-up, you work directly with the owner from start to finish — one accountable point of contact for your whole kitchen remodeling project in Boston.
For the full detail on how we approach this work — materials, process and what to expect — see our kitchen remodeling page.

Do I need a permit for kitchen remodeling in Boston, MA?+
Partly. Cabinets, counters and tile are exempt finish work, but the plumbing, electrical and gas behind them each need their own permit, and moving a wall needs a building permit. We pull whichever your job requires. We file it with Boston's building and inspectional services department as a Registered Home Improvement Contractor (MA HIC #196540).
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Massachusetts?+
It depends on size, materials and how much the layout changes. Relocating the sink is usually the single most expensive decision on the plan. After a visit we give you a detailed, itemised estimate rather than a lump sum.
How long is a kitchen out of action?+
Most kitchens run about 2–6 weeks of active work once materials are on site. Custom cabinetry has long lead times, so ordering early is what keeps that number honest.

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 remodeling work in the City of Boston, the filing goes to Boston'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 Boston's office before any work starts.
