Your local windows & doors contractor in Franklin
Franklin homeowners usually call us for one of two reasons: something has failed and needs fixing properly, or they are ready to invest in a house they intend to stay in. Waterfront Construction handles both — licensed, insured windows & doors from a Northborough team that has worked across the MetroWest region since 2018.
Franklin is in Norfolk County, Massachusetts, established in 1778 and home to roughly 33,500 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. 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 the MetroWest region. It is about 25 miles from our Northborough shop — about 45 minutes to an hour in normal traffic. Being close keeps estimates and site visits quick.
If you may sell within a few years, what you choose matters as much as what you spend. We're straight with Franklin homeowners about which parts of a windows & doors project tend to return at resale in the MetroWest region 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 windows & doors project in Franklin.

Do I need a permit for windows & doors in Franklin, MA?+
Usually yes. Window and door replacement is not exempt in Massachusetts, and bedroom windows must still meet emergency escape requirements even in a like-for-like swap.

Do new windows really save energy?+
Absolutely. Modern double- or triple-pane windows with low-E coatings dramatically cut heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer, lowering your bills and eliminating cold drafts.

Most window replacements are completed in 1–3 days depending on the number of openings. We protect your home and clean up fully when we're done.

Replacement windows normally need a permit — and must still meet egress.
Window and door replacement is not on 780 CMR’s exempt list, and any bedroom window has to satisfy the emergency escape and rescue opening requirements even when you are replacing like for like. Changing an opening size is structural work. We file the permit and size the units to code.
For windows & doors work in the City of Franklin, the filing goes to Franklin'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 Franklin's office before any work starts.
