Your local windows & doors contractor in Melrose
If you're planning windows & doors in Melrose, MA, you want a contractor who shows up, communicates, and delivers. That's exactly what Waterfront Construction has built its reputation on across Eastern Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire since 2018 — owner-led work, fair and itemized pricing, and a finished result that holds up to New England's seasons.
Melrose is in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, established in 1850 and home to roughly 30,000 people. Its growth came with the mills and the railroads, so much of the older housing is mid-1800s worker and merchant stock — balloon framing, deep sash windows, and porches that have usually been rebuilt at least once. 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 Greater Boston. It is about 40 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 Melrose homeowners about which parts of a windows & doors project tend to return at resale in Greater Boston and which are purely for your own enjoyment. Both are good reasons to build.
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 Melrose, rather than a number that stops answering.

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