Gamache Construction and Westborough
Gamache Construction is a family-owned remodeling and general contracting company in Northborough, Massachusetts, the town that split off from Westborough in the 1700s. Since 2006 it has served Westborough and the rest of MetroWest and Worcester County with kitchen, bathroom and basement remodeling, home additions, whole-home renovations, interior painting and garages. Owner Chris Gamache runs three crews and coordinates plumbing, electrical and tile trades. The company is licensed in Massachusetts and insured, files permits with the Westborough Building Department, and backs its labor with a warranty on top of manufacturer warranties.
What makes a Westborough project different
Westborough was incorporated in 1717 as the hundredth town in Massachusetts, and it carries both very old houses and a lot of water. Both affect how a remodel or addition is planned.
- Two National Register districts. The West Main Street Historic District and the Vintonville Historic District are both listed on the National Register of Historic Places. On houses of that age, we match new work to the original trim and proportions.
- River headwaters and wetlands. The town holds the headwaters of the Sudbury and Assabet rivers, along with Lake Chauncy, Hocomonco Pond, Cedar Swamp Pond and the Mill Pond reservoir. Additions or decks near wetlands may need Conservation Commission review before a building permit.
- Town sewer with Shrewsbury. Westborough’s wastewater treatment plant treats sewage for both Westborough and Shrewsbury.
- A short drive. Routes 30 and 135 meet at a rotary in the town center, and our Northborough office is about three miles away.

Will I understand the cost before work starts?
Yes. You get a written estimate with the scope, the options and the pricing before anything is scheduled, and Chris Gamache runs the crew that does the work. One customer called out the estimate in his review, and the company holds a 5.0 rating from 34 Google reviews.
“Very clear estimate provided and work was completed in a timely manner. They even painted the whole side of the garage to ensure continuity. Well done!”
Where do Westborough building permits come from?
From the Westborough Building Department in the Forbes Municipal Building at 45 West Main Street. We apply for the permits our work needs and book the inspections.
Our lot backs onto a pond. Can we still build a deck or addition?
Often yes, but work close to a wetland or pond may need Conservation Commission approval first. We check the lot before the design is set so the review does not catch you by surprise.
Do you work on older houses near the town center?
Yes. We plan new work to match the existing trim, siding style and rooflines so the house still reads as one piece.
Can you help us decide on finishes?
Yes. Design guidance is available as we plan, and the choices you make are written into the estimate.
Is financing available for a Westborough project?
Yes, financing is available. The financing page explains how to apply.
