Your local painting contractor in Shrewsbury
Many Shrewsbury homes were built long before the materials and codes we work with today, which is exactly why painting here rewards a contractor who has opened up a few walls locally. Waterfront Construction has been doing that across Central Massachusetts since 2018 — licensed, insured and owner-supervised.
Shrewsbury is in Worcester County, Massachusetts, established in 1727 and home to roughly 38,500 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. We know the town well — from Lake Quinsigamond, the Grafton Street area and downtown Shrewsbury to the quieter streets — and our painting crews reach Shrewsbury quickly from nearby Northborough. It is about 5 miles from our Northborough shop — about 15 minutes in normal traffic.
Every Shrewsbury project starts with listening. We walk the space with you, understand how you actually live in your home, and give you straight answers about what's possible, what it will cost and how long it will take — before any work begins.
We stand behind what we build. If something isn't right after we've gone, you call and we come back — that's the point of being licensed, insured and easy to find in Shrewsbury, rather than a number that stops answering.
For the full detail on how we approach this work — materials, process and what to expect — see our painting page.

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 Shrewsbury, the filing goes to Shrewsbury'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 Shrewsbury's office before any work starts.
