Your local windows & doors contractor in Salem
Looking for reliable windows & doors in Salem, Massachusetts? Waterfront Construction has served Salem and the surrounding communities since 2018. Based right in nearby Northborough, we're a licensed, insured local team — not an out-of-town outfit — so Salem homeowners get fast response, honest pricing, and craftsmanship that lasts.
Salem is in Essex County, Massachusetts, established in 1626 and home to roughly 44,500 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. We know the town well — from The Point, Salem Willows and downtown Salem to the quieter streets — and our windows & doors crews reach Salem quickly from nearby Northborough. It is about 50 miles from our Northborough shop — about an hour in normal traffic.
Material choice drives most of the cost difference on a windows & doors project. Rather than quote one option, we walk Salem homeowners through what each tier actually buys in durability, upkeep and appearance — so the budget goes where it matters to you, not where it matters to us.
Call and you get a person, usually the owner. Message us and you get an answer within one business day. On a windows & doors project in Salem that responsiveness isn't a courtesy — it's what keeps the job moving.
For the full detail on how we approach this work — materials, process and what to expect — see our windows & doors page.

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