Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling In Saco Maine

Waterproof, Not Just Resistant

Years Of Experience

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.

Debris, a smashed faux-wood vanity, peeled linoleum, and a broken fiberglass shower fill the space. Deep blue twilight filters through a dusty window, contrasting with a single warm 2200K work bulb casting heavy shadows over exposed studs and broken tile.

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

I absolutely love the look of my kitchen. Who would have thought painting the cabinets and adding a soffit would make such a difference. All of the About Coatings staff are professional and responsive to any needs and questions. I will be calling them for my next project!!

Owner's reply

Had most of our interior space painted, including trim and ceilings. About Coatings removes all wall hanging and moves furniture as well. Once complete everything is returned to original and cleanup is pristine. No more wall cracks or bumps. True white glove service and would highly recommend

Owner's reply
We really appreciate this amazing feedback Mike — and it’s extra special knowing it marks our 100th review! Every project, big or small, means a lot to us, and we’re proud that so many homeowners have taken the time to share their experiences.

We had such a great experience working with this team on our bathroom renovation! From the initial consultation through the end of the project, the communication was excellent. They worked closely with us to get everything we wanted while staying within our budget. Everyone on the team was friendly, professional, and made sure to keep the house clean at the end of each day. The finished bathroom turned out even better than we imagined. We’d absolutely work with them again for future renovations!

Owner's reply
We really appreciate you taking the time to share this, Alaina! It was great teaming up on your bathroom remodel and seeing everything come together exactly as planned. Hearing that communication and cleanliness stood out makes the effort worthwhile — those details are what we care most about. Thanks again for welcoming us into your home and for trusting About Coatings with your project. Enjoy that new space for years to come!

About Coatings, to all, We just couldn’t be happier. Professional, on time and excellent work.Kitchen cabinets repainted, new Hardware and added soft close hinges, and changed tile back splash. Jessica, was very professional, helpful and couldn’t have been any nicer. Was very good with planning, scheduling and so helpful with all my questions, and color options. About Coatings reached our goals and expectations. Would definitely recommend, and hire for future projects.Many thanks to all who worked on our project. We changed our island color, this time around. Matched the white that was previously done by About Coatings. The prep was amazing! A tent made of plastic material put around and above area being painted, and flooring covered along with countertop. Just amazing to see the care put into the project. Meticulous and professional and couldn’t ask for anything more. Just recommended to friends. Many thanks to the team for the wonderful job, once again!

Owner's reply
Thanks so much, Sandy! We loved giving your kitchen an update—from the new island color to the backsplash and hardware. Jessica and the crew take pride in the prep and details, so it’s great to hear that stood out again. We appreciate your trust (and the referral!) and can’t wait to work with you on the next project.

About Coatings repaired and redid my damaged ceiling. A few months after I bought my condo there was a leak from the condo above. An 8‘ x 3‘ hole had to be cut in the ceiling, and About Coatings fixed that. They then removed my popcorn ceiling and gave me a beautiful flat ceiling! Their work was professional and meticulous! If they had not fixed and redone the ceiling, I would not have even known they had been here! They cleaned up the place better than it was when I left! Special shout out to Jessica, who is so wonderful to work with! You guys were fabulous!

Owner's reply
Thank you so much Ellen, for sharing your experience! We’re so glad we could help restore your ceiling after such a stressful situation. Our team takes pride in leaving every space looking flawless—and it’s wonderful to hear that the repair blended in so well you wouldn’t have known the work had been done. We also appreciate your kind words about Jessica; she truly goes above and beyond to make each project smooth and enjoyable. On behalf of all of us at About Coatings, thank you for trusting us with your home—we’re thrilled you’re enjoying your new flat ceiling!

We had a fantastic experience working with About Coatings! They painted our kitchen cabinets, walls, ceiling, and trim, and also installed a new backsplash—and the results are beautiful. Every step of the way, they were responsive, professional, and easy to work with. The on-site team was respectful and focused on minimizing the disruption to our family, which we really appreciated. Jessica was amazing from start to finish - she made the process smooth and stress-free, from the initial quote to the final walk-through. We absolutely love our refreshed kitchen and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend About Coatings to anyone.

Owner's reply

Enjoy your refreshed kitchen, and thank you again for trusting us with your home!

My neighbor at Summer Winds Dr in OOB Had some work done this week and I asked the tile installer to look at my storm door. It would not latch properly. He adjusted it and didn't need payment ! Very professional and I will definitely call again with future issues!

Owner's reply
Thank you so much, Nancy! We’re happy we could help out with your storm door—sometimes it’s the little things that make a big difference. We appreciate your kind words and are always here if you need anything in the future. Don’t hesitate to reach out!

We had a terrific experience with Jessica and the team at About Coatings. She walked us through every component of the process and went above and beyond to recommend products and vendors. Jessica met us multiple times at the house to make sure that we knew what to expect. They also did a great job keeping the house in good shape during the project. We are thrilled with how our bathroom looks now. We 100% recommend them!

Owner's reply
Thank you, Kelly, for sharing your positive experience with Jessica and our team at About Coatings!

My husband and I had called a few cabinet painting shops to get info on painting a wine bar made of raw wood to match the rest of our painted kitchen cabinets. Luckily we hired “About Coatings” of Maine. Our cabinets were cream colored and it was difficult to get a paint match that was the exact shade. Jessica and Mike were amazing and after much trial and error they came up with a paint color and sheen that was an exact match! They tented a portion of the kitchen and came and went without disruption. Matt did a great job sanding and painting. They do top notch work AND they went above and beyond to make sure it was right. Thanks guys!

Owner's reply
Hi Janet and Bob, we want you to love your space when we leave.

About Coatings did an incredible job on our kitchen a couple of years ago - painted our cabinets, did lighting, and tile.

I am happy to give About Coatings’s a 5 star review in the remaking of my very old kitchen cabinet doors. Mike and Jessica were professional and extremely easy to work with. They were always available for questions and were a great help in suggesting what would work best. Their crew, Matt and Mike, were professional, always on time and cleaned up before leaving for the night. I would highly recommend About Coatings for any job, large or small.

I don’t normally write reviews, but About Coatings is so extraordinary that I am making an exception. I can’t say enough positive things about the professionalism of Jessica, Mike, and their dedicated crew. We are thrilled with our bathroom renovation, especially that they were able to create something so beautiful within the budget we set out and still meet all our priorities. Everything done was top notch with a very high level of skill and eye to detail. Mike and Jessica are great problem-solvers and they really, really listened to what we wanted and then worked hard to make it happen. They stayed in constant communication and showed up when they said they would with great respect for the busy schedules and household of a young family with an infant, a toddler, and an 85lb super curious chocolate lab! They never made excuses and went above and beyond expectations, solving unanticipated problems that showed up once the job began brilliantly and with grace. Jessica and Mike provided valuable inside advice and guidance on details the normal homeowner wouldn’t be aware of and may make mistakes on when making purchase decisions on materials and fixtures. If you’re looking for a first-class job with a first-class company, look no further than About Coatings. Thank you Jessica, Mike, and team! We are so happy! We will definitely be back!

Owner's reply
Thank you Christina for taking the time to leave a great review. It was fun working with you and look forward to future projects!

We were delighted by the thoroughness and professionalism of About Coatings. Excellent suggestions were made for finishes and wall repair prior to starting the paint job. This was for an entire 4 bedroom 3 bathroom house, ceilings included. It was amazing to walk in today and see our house looking like a brand new house. We would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a flawless, professional and thorough paint job.

All of my experience with About Coatings was professional and positive! I had them paint the entire inside of my newly purchased home. Every line, fixture and color were accurately applied! As if the walls were pre-painted! They also managed to finish and paint my garage ceiling as an add on!! They stayed true to their timeline and estimate and cleaned all the paint that others had left on the woodwork and floors! They left my house clean and pretty. What a beautiful job! I would definitely hire them again. Excellent team work!

About Coatings did an exceptional job updating our tired kitchen and master bath and also painting several ceilings. Mike, Jessica, Matt, Mike and Cole are all very professional and knowledgeable about their craft. They built new upper cabinet doors to match the lowers and worked tirelessly to complete the work to the highest of standards. We are very pleased with the results and would certainly recommend About Coatings to anyone considering renovations. Job well done!!

We’re very happy with About Coatings and the work they did for us, having our kitchen and bathroom cabinets painted. Of the several companies we looked into, Jessica was the only one that took the time to come to the house and talk with us, the others just wanted pictures of the cabinets. Jessica and the crew were professional, friendly & helpful, they were all wonderful. On the last day of work, the owner Mike showed up also, he personally looked over all the work done and made sure we were happy with the results - which we are! Also, their cleanup was amazing. This business performed at the highest level of quality, and we would recommend them to anyone looking for their cabinets to be painted.

Thank you Penny Jo and Dale for taking the time to leave us a review. It was great working with you both!

About Coatings turned my drab kitchen into my dream kitchen. Their work was perfection. They were communicative, on time, respectful of my home, did excellent work and cleaned up afterwards! They were also flexible and happy to oblige when I had new ideas. Their #1 goal was that we loved the finished project. There prices were the best and couldn’t be best. I am so happy with the work they did and will be having them back for future projects.

We remodeled a second home (condo) on Old Orchard Beach and feel very fortunate to have About Coatings handle the painting of our cabinets which now look better than new. AC added some custom cabinet doors, painted the panels in front of the island to match the cabinets (visually making the kitchen look larger) and added sleek new hardware. The end result is gorgeous. So nice that we asked them to paint the entire condo and AC ended up doing quite a bit of revision work for another contractor, adding trim, fixing some doors and other odds and ends as they went. There were no surprises. They completed the work timely, per quote and work is all top notch. They also kept in close contact during the entire project and we couldn’t be happier. 10/10

About Coatings exceeded all expectations! I hired About Coatings to repaint kitchen cabinets, add a molding/trim to the existing cabinets in order to reach the ceiling, and to add charm to the kitchen island with trim and baseboard. First and foremost, Michael Butt and his visionary administrator, Jessica, are professional, responsive and easy to work with. Their professionalism is outstanding, their work flawless. The entire project went smoothly, and we were not in Maine during any part of the renovation! That says everything about the integrity, quality of workmanship and professional standards that About Coatings strives to meet. They are simply the best at what they do! About Coatings is the company to call when you want the art of renovation and the professionalism to get the job done, beautifully.

We were very pleased with the end results, but just as important is that we know they were produced with skilled and careful work. They took time to answer and address questions and concerns while work was in progress. They went above and beyond to be sure we were getting what we wanted. Notably in the planning phase, the discussion was about how to make our vision work. They helped us to see what was possible, and they made it happen! Their fee was reasonable and importantly very much in line with their estimates.

We have had many contractors working on our 11 year old home, this summer, and although the contractors (floor installers, electricians, plumbers, carpenters, etc.) were great, the team from About Coatings was the best. Mike, Jessica, and the team made the entire process as smooth as possible, beyond my wife’s and my expectations. From the initial estimate (refinishing our kitchen cabinets and adding hardware, installation of a new mosaic backsplash, and refinishing several items outside of the kitchen), to our decision to add some family furniture to the refinish list, to the actual work, the team was excellent in communication, and the quality of their work is superb! We have already asked for an additional quote from About Coatings for a built in pantry and look forward to see what they deliver. I cannot recommend this team enough; you will be very pleased if you choose them.

Rarely do you find a process from start to finish product as flawless as what the About Coatings team presents. From the initial communication and estimate upfront, to the samples provided, the team taking such care in their work and finally a flawless cleanup and walkthrough at the end. This is how general contract work should be done and look like. Our kitchen cabinets came out amazing and the end product was better than we envisioned. Clear itemized estimate, clear communication and flawless work make About Coatings top in the game.

They showed up on time and finished the job when they said they would. Matt and Mike were on-site most days, but I also worked with Jessica and the owner Mike. They were all very professional and my house was spotless when they left. Amazing work, I 100% recommend them!

The About Coatings crew does quality work. They were able to do the repairs and replacements to siding or trim that needed it before painting which made it so much easier than hiring 2 different companies to do that and the painting. The crew was polite and professional and the work was thorough and top quality. They don't cut corners. They do the job right. We appreciate that! Well worth the investment.

After having a very disappointing experience with another painter, we hired About Coatings in the Fall for the following Spring. Our experience with them was wonderful. Very responsive, they met every promise they made, continued to keep us informed prior to and during the process. And the quality of their work was outstanding. I was particularly impressed with the prep work they did. Our house is over 100 years old and has more than its share of issues but they had great recommendations and solutions for all of them.

Mike and his crew were exceptional to work with. They did great work, listened to our feedback, got the work done quickly, and were respectful and attentive while working in our home. Also, they were very flexible when new ideas popped up and plans changed. I would highly recommend About Coating!

Michael and his staff did a wonderful job of painting our kitchen cabinets in a timely manner. The quality of the work was exceptional, extremely well done, and price point was affordable. Michael and his staff were professional throughout the process. The finished product was exactly what we were looking for and best of all little to no dust after the job was completed. I would highly recommend this business without reservation.

Owner's reply
Thank you, Margo, we tried to do a really nice job and be affordable.

We had an excellent experience with the About Coatings team. They were very professional and their work was second to none. We are so pleased with the cabinet work and painting. They spent a great deal of time inspecting their work to ensure that nothing was missed and no blemish occurred. They painted our cabinets like they were painting their own. You can't ask for more than that. Their willingness to do whatever was asked was much appreciated, as I intended to install some of the cabinet hardware. But after seeing how expeditiously well they worked I changed my mind and asked them do it all. Their pricing for this work beat all competition. They did what they said they would do and on the schedule they provided. We wouldn't hesitate to hire them for our next project.

Owner's reply
That was a really great review, Roger. We are pretty detailed when it comes to our finished product. We'll take a lot of time and effort to make these things look nice and hold up. Thanks so much for the five-star review.

Hello Torrey, it was a pleasure working with you guys. I think all the colors came out wonderful. We're always here if you need us.

Thank you Brenda, we had a great time working with you and making your kitchen cabinets look great again.

Mike and his crew did a fabulous job of updating the look of my cabinets! The crew was timely, professional, and hard working...I was impressed. The cabinets look like I ordered them in matte white, no brush marks, nice smooth finish. Mike was patient with me to understand my vision in trimming out the island for a custom look. He may be busy, but he's worth the wait. I've already asked him to quote another job. Highly recommend!!!

Owner's reply
Hello Dee, thank you for all the great things you said about us we do our best. Like you said a little patience can go a long way in helping customers achieve their goals. We paint a lot of kitchen cabinets in the Saco Me area too.

Elise

Extremely professional and efficient. Our cabinets were completely transformed and we were beyond pleased with the end result. I was a little hesitant to start this project with a small baby in our home, however they were able to complete the project on schedule with minimal disruption to our everyday routine. They were also able to keep the fumes almost nonexistent in the rest of our living space. We will most certainly have them back for all future projects.

Owner's reply
Thanks so much, Elsie it was a pleasure doing this project for you guys. We do everything we can to get projects done on budget and schedule.

Part of our kitchen remodel was having our cabinets painted. Mike and his crew were fantastic! Project was completed within the time estimated and the quality was superb. The change to our kitchen is amazing. I strongly recommend About Coatings.

Owner's reply
Thanks, Dennis. It was great working with you guys. It's amazing what some bright new paint on your kitchen cabinets can do. Feel free to get a hold of us in the future for any projects you have.

Melissa Auger

15 November 2019

About Coatings did a really good job with our kitchen and bathroom cabinets! The crew was professional, thorough, and tidy. They took our curve balls without balking ("Surprise, kids don't have preschool today, so you'll have to step over the baby gate!"..."Surprise, we want pulls instead of knobs!") Our kitchen looks great - really updated and bright. My only negative is that the owner, Mike, is such a busy guy that he's hard to get ahold of. He didn't reply to my emails with questions. And although he gave me a general timeline early on, he only gave me 1 day notice before his crew began work. But overall I'm happy with the results and would recommend About Coatings!

Owner's reply
Hello Melissa, thanks for the review. I appreciate the feedback. Communication is always a challenge. We are working on ways to improve our reply times and make communication better. I'm glad you like the kitchen cabinets.

Steve Gorsun

13 November 2019

We had an excellent experience working with Mike and his team earlier this year. They were extremely responsive when we reached our for a quote, offered a fair price for the work and the results exceeded our expectations. His crew was excellent, always showing up when they said they would (rare these days) were friendly and courteous and made sure everything was cleaned up and buttoned up on the job site each night. We were so impressed with the results ( re-finished cabinets and new tile floor) that Mike is our first call now when we have a job that needs to be completed. Highly recommended!

Owner's reply
Hello Steve, thanks for the five-star review. We try to keep our prices far and offer itemized estimates. We also put in a lot of effort when it comes to keeping things clean. Thanks again, Steve.

21 September 2019

I was a DIY person planning to repaint kitchen cabinets, when I came across About Coatings website. My plan was to bring cabinet doors to a professional shop and paint the rest myself. I’ve contacted Mike, he gave me an estimate, we made a deal, and he picked up doors on Friday. It took me six days to do my part and I called him next Thursday that I am ready. When he brought doors back, he surprised me. I expected good quality work but he exceeded my expectations. They looked better than new. I almost regretted that I didn’t ask him to do a whole thing. I am planning to do other projects with Mike and definitely would recommend him.

Owner's reply
Hello Vitaliy, yeah we don't normally take drawer fronts and paint them without paying the whole project bought until he convinced us so we gave it a shot. Everything came out wonderful. We took the doors to our shop, sanded, primed and painted them. We held on to them until Vitaliy was ready to get them back. Thanks so much for calling us and having us do your project for you. I'm sure we'll be out there to do more in the future. Thank Vitaliy.

Mike, Matt (project manager) and the crew did a great job. I had both interior and exterior painting done (August 2019) and am very happy with the work they did at my home. I would recommend About Coatings without hesitation.

Hi Lisa, thank you for the review. We had a lot of fun working out there this summer. Hopefully, we'll see you for those other projects this winter. Thanks again.

Mile and his crew were fantastic! I highly recommend About Coatings. Mike is efficient, responsive, and considerate. He uses technology to remain in touch every step of the way, which was refreshing and very helpful. His crew is wonderful - very skilled and pleasant. I originally contacted About Coatings for a quote to paint two sides of my house (trepidacious about the possibility of being disappointed by yet another contractor). I was so impressed with Mike, his fast response, and quoting process that I had them paint the entire exterior and then added on several other projects as well. Their carpentry skills were also great. Would give them 10 stars if I could!

Owner's reply
Hello Catherine, thanks so much for the review. It's been a pretty busy year partly because of all the customers like you, that took the time to leave us reviews.

Mike and the guys at About Coatings were great from start to finish. They were able to get to my kitchen project quickly and completed the task in no time. I had just purchased the house so we were in a bit of a time crunch to get everything done before we moved in. The cabinets are beautiful and just what I wanted. Mike kept in touch with me through every step of the project and offered great advice when deciding on the crown molding for the top. His crew was fast, efficient and very clean. I think the house may have been cleaner after they finished! I know I will enjoy my beautiful kitchen for years to come!

Owner's reply
Hello Rebecca, thanks for the positive review. We do try to get at some of these projects rather quickly. There always seems to be openings, it's just part of the job. So we get in there get those projects done fast and get on to the next one. I've learned over the years that communication is key. We do our best from estimating the project through to completion. Nobody wants to be left in the dark. Thanks again hopefully we'll see you up in Turner again.

Not my first rodeo. I've owned and redone 5 homes, so I've worked with several contractors over the state. But.. these guys would get 10 stars if I could!! Mike's communication is impeccable, from the use of technology to clarify costs and coverage, to prompt responses with certainty, respect, and humor. His crew is the most hard-working and meticulous I've seen. In just one week they have done what they said they would do, did a great job, and tended to many details in this complete kitchen demo in an old, many layered, crooked little house. He'll be my go to from now on, as he has made this nearly stress-free. Can't wait for them to come back! I couldn't be happier with their work, and I'm not all that easy to please. In fact, I passed on something he recommended and now know he was right. Trust him.

Owner's reply
Debbie, this is a wonderful review thank you for taking the time to write out such a detailed review truly outlining out greatest attributes. It makes us happy that we could help make this process as stress-free as possible for you and we are looking forward to working with you at your home in Saco, Maine more in the near future and we promise to provide the same great work with a knowledgeable, professional crew.

Andrea Mittleider

This summer, About Coatings painted our kitchen cabinets, interior ceiling, and all of our exterior trim (some of it close to thirty feet up). They were an absolute pleasure to work with. Michael was very helpful in planning our color scheme and helping us with our paint choices, my emails were always addressed promptly (usually within an hour or two), all of the workers were careful of our belongings and neat with the paint, and they were amazingly understanding about numerous scheduling issues on our end (we were having some other work done at the same time). And of course the new paint looks wonderful! We will absolutely be contacting About Coatings the next time we repaint.

Owner's reply
Andrea, thank you so much for the positive feedback. We strive to provide quality work all around, staying educated and being able to help with color selections helps us give you the best possible outcome and staying in touch with you during the whole process is key to a successful project! We look forward to working with you again in the future Falmouth, Maine is a beautiful place to be.

About Coatings painted almost the entire interior of our house, our kitchen cabinets, and our bathroom vanity. I can't say enough good things about Michael and his entire team! They were professional, they did a great job (even when I rushed them out toward the end), and they came back the following week - no questions asked - to take care of a few small issues that were bugging me. I plan on contacting them again for some future projects I have in mind, and I would recommend them without hesitation. Thanks, guys!

We recently purchased a home in southern Maine. We loved the layout of the house but could not live with the dark stained woodwork work and dated wall colors. We interviewed three paint contractors however, Mike Butt was by far the most professional and gave us the best price. His attention to detail and knowledge gave us a wonderful result. We will hire him and his crew for any of our future projects.

We are very pleased with the work done by About Coatings! Mike (the owner) has a very down to earth, but very professional way about him. We met with three companies to get quotes for the first floor painting and minor kitchen carpentry work we were looking to have completed, and not only did Mike leave me with the best impression when we met, but he was prompt, courteous with his responses, and provided the most thorough quote, which was very helpful. His team was also punctual, professional, and courteous, and they completed the work within the timeframe, and most importantly, with the level of quality that we were hoping for. We highly recommend About Coatings, and look forward to working with them more in the future as the need arises!

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.

What areas in Southern Maine do you serve?

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.

How do I start the process, and how far out are you currently booking?

Because we dedicate our internal crew to one project at a time and never rush our finish work, our calendar fills quickly. The first step is to Set Up A Call Back through our website. We will discuss your vision, provide an initial timeline, and let you know our current waitlist availability.
