Your local siding contractor in Ipswich
Waterfront Construction is a trusted siding contractor serving Ipswich, Massachusetts and the surrounding region. Working from our Northborough base, we're fully licensed, insured and owner-led — known for treating every Ipswich home like our own: on time, on budget, and done right the first time.
Ipswich is in Essex County, Massachusetts, established in 1634 and home to roughly 14,000 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. 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 North Shore. It is about 60 miles from our Northborough shop — about an hour in normal traffic. Being close keeps estimates and site visits quick.
Every Ipswich 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.
Call and you get a person, usually the owner. Message us and you get an answer within one business day. On a siding project in Ipswich that responsiveness isn't a courtesy — it's what keeps the job moving.

Siding replacement is not on the Massachusetts exemption list.
780 CMR’s exempt-work list covers finish work like painting and tiling, and small unattached decks — it does not exempt re-siding a house. Expect a building permit, and expect the inspector to care about the weather barrier and any rot repair found during tear-off. We handle the filing and the inspection.
For siding work in the Town of Ipswich, the filing goes to Ipswich'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 Ipswich's office before any work starts.
