Your local painting contractor in Millis
Waterfront Construction has been building and remodelling for Millis and the rest of the MetroWest region since 2018. We are licensed, insured, and deliberately small: enough crew to keep a schedule, few enough jobs at once that your painting project never becomes the one that gets squeezed.
Millis is in Norfolk County, Massachusetts, established in 1885 and home to roughly 8,500 people. It was largely built out in the streetcar era, which tends to mean late-Victorian and early-1900s two- and three-family homes — solid framing, generous trim, and wiring and plumbing retrofitted more than once. 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 20 miles from our Northborough shop — about 30 to 40 minutes in normal traffic. Being close keeps estimates and site visits quick.
Permitting and inspections vary town to town across the MetroWest region, and Millis is no different. As your licensed contractor we file what the building department requires and schedule inspections around the work, so the paperwork never becomes your problem — or your delay.
You're allowed to change your mind. Scope shifts on plenty of Millis projects once walls are open or samples are on site, and we re-price it in writing before anything proceeds — never quietly added to the final bill.

With proper prep and quality paint, interiors stay fresh for many years and a good exterior job typically lasts 7–10 years or more depending on exposure.

Interior and exterior painting does not need a building permit.
780 CMR lists “painting, papering, tiling, carpeting, cabinets, counter tops and similar finish work” as work exempt from permit. The exemption covers the finish work only — if the job turns out to need electrical, plumbing or gas work, those trades carry their own permits.
For painting work in the Town of Millis, the filing goes to Millis'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 Millis's office before any work starts.
