TRUE QUALITY IS INVISIBLE.
We Build For The Sub-Floor, Not Just The Surface
THE OLD STANDARD: For decades, showers were built using moisture-resistant drywall or cement board. While these materials are strong, they are not inherently waterproof. They rely heavily on the tile and grout to stop the water.
THE PHYSICS: The problem is that grout is porous. Over 10 or 15 years, microscopic amounts of moisture can migrate through the grout lines. In a busy family bathroom, that moisture needs somewhere to go.
THE MODERN SOLUTION: That is why we switched to the Schluter-Kerdi System. It places a verified waterproof membrane directly behind the tile, ensuring that not a single drop of water ever touches your home’s structure.
FROM “GUT JOB” TO “SPA DAY
See The Difference Precision Makes
Coastal Maine homes face a unique enemy: Moisture. Whether it’s the salt air near Camp Ellis and Ferry Beach or the settling foundations of historic Middle Street, standard remodeling materials often fail within years. We don’t just design for style; we engineer for Saco’s environment.
We rejected the ‘fast and cheap’ industry standard. Instead, we brought Italian Factory-Grade 2K Polyurethanes and the Schluter-Kerdi Waterproofing System to York County. This isn’t just a renovation; it’s a structural upgrade designed to outlast the mortgage.
Because we insist on being on-site to execute these complex finishes personally, About Coatings accepts a limited number of projects per season. We prioritize homeowners who value longevity over the lowest bid.

Restoring Saco Properties: From Structural Layout To Fine Finish
Fine Finish
A professional cabinet refinishing project is a strategic investment. It allows you to bypass the demolition dust of a gut job while achieving a factory-grade transformation. By applying industrial 2K coatings, you can achieve a sophisticated, durable finish that rivals new custom cabinetry for a fraction of the cost.
However, if you struggle with poor lighting, limited storage, or an inefficient layout, a complete bathroom remodel is the necessary solution. A full renovation goes beyond the surface, allowing us to manage structural changes, coordinate plumbing and electrical updates, and expand shower footprints to integrate custom storage solutions.
Ultimately, the right path depends on your long-term goals. Consulting a Saco remodeling specialist like About Coatings provides clarity. We help you weigh the value of architectural refinishing versus a functional layout overhaul, ensuring you invest where it provides the highest return.
From Pepperell Square To The Ferry Road Coast
TESTIMONIALS
We understand the unique housing stock of Saco, from the iconic seasonal properties at Camp Ellis and Ferry Beach to the grand historic estates in the Middle Street district. Our “Transforming Spaces with Style” philosophy ensures that every renovation—whether it’s a modern kitchen overhaul or a master bath retreat—respects the architectural character of your Saco neighborhood.
Operational Excellence & Project Protocol
THE STANDARD
We specialize in architectural cabinet refinishing—a strategic investment that revitalizes your kitchen with a durable, factory-grade 2K finish. This approach eliminates demolition costs, allowing you to reallocate budget toward luxury tile, lighting upgrades, or flooring improvements.
Beyond our technical finish, we prioritize site integrity. Our uniformed specialists arrive in a branded fleet, utilizing HEPA dust extraction and strict protection protocols to respect your living space.
Why the Best Renovations Are Worth the Wait: In a ‘next-day delivery’ world, we resist the urge to rush. Renovating the heart of your home requires patience. We maintain a waitlist because curing times, material sourcing, and meticulous prep cannot be expedited. We refuse to compromise the longevity of your investment for the sake of speed.
We Bridge The Gap Between A General Contractor And A Fine Finish Applicator
Concept To Completion
At About Coatings, we closed the gap. We operate as a single, unified team that controls the entire project lifecycle. By handling everything in-house—from the rough framing and Schluter® waterproofing to the final application of Italian 2K Polyurethane—we ensure that every layer is built to support the next. No finger-pointing. Just results.”

Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling: Frequently Asked Questions
Design Inspirations
Do I have to go to the town hall to pull permits for my remodel?
You won’t need to step foot in a code enforcement office. About Coatings handles all municipal permit pulling for building, electrical, and plumbing work. We also coordinate the local code inspections directly with the town inspectors to ensure your project stays on schedule and is 100% compliant.
How do you keep sanding dust and paint fumes from ruining the rest of my house?
We take property protection very seriously. Before any prep begins, we erect heavy-duty containment barriers and deploy commercial HEPA air scrubbers. This creates a negative pressure zone that traps microscopic dust and pulls fumes out of the air, keeping your living quarters completely clean.
Do I need to hire my own plumber and electrician, or do you handle all the trades?
About Coatings operates as a full-service General Contractor. We manage every phase internally, including plumbing rough-ins, finish plumbing, electrical lighting, and structural carpentry. You deal with one team, eliminating the delays of juggling multiple disconnected subcontractors.
Do you build custom vanities?
Yes. We offer custom woodworking and finish carpentry to build bathroom vanities, linen towers, and storage solutions that fit your space perfectly.
How will I know what is happening with my remodel day-to-day?
We believe in absolute transparency. Our team provides Daily Project Logs to keep you informed of our progress every step of the way, ensuring you never have to guess what was completed today or what is scheduled for tomorrow.
Do you offer exterior painting or deck remodeling?
s a standalone service, no—we specialize exclusively in high-end interior transformations. However, because we operate as a full-service General Contractor, we take 100% ownership of any project we build. If your interior kitchen or bathroom remodel requires moving a window, altering an exterior wall, or patching and painting outside siding, we manage and execute all of that exterior work. You will never need to hire an outside contractor to finish a piece of a project we start. If it is part of the remodel, we take care of it completely.
Will the price of my remodel change once the project begins?
We provide highly detailed, itemized estimates before we ever swing a hammer so you know exactly where your investment is going. Unless hidden structural damage is uncovered after demolition or you request specific design changes mid-project, the price we quote is the price you pay.
Is your company fully insured for high-end residential work?
Yes. About Coatings carries comprehensive liability and workers’ compensation insurance. We protect your home and our crew at every stage, giving you complete peace of mind while we are working on your property.

We provide elite interior remodeling services strictly for Cumberland and York counties. Our primary service areas include Saco, Biddeford, The Kennebunks, Scarborough, Portland, Cape Elizabeth, and Falmouth.
