Preserving "Beautiful Place by the Sea" – One Brush Stroke at a Time

​

The name "Ogunquit" means "beautiful place by the sea" in the indigenous Abenaki language, and at Coastal Colors Painting, we're committed to preserving its beauty. Our specialized painting services enhance and protect Ogunquit's distinctive homes, from charming seaside cottages to luxury oceanfront properties.
 

The Ogunquit Challenge: Where Art Meets Ocean
 

Painting in Ogunquit isn't like painting anywhere else in Maine. This town's artistic heritage and extreme coastal exposure create unique demands:
 

Atlantic Frontline Protection

Ogunquit homes face the full force of ocean weather – salt spray, powerful nor'easters, intense UV exposure, and dramatic temperature fluctuations. Our marine-grade systems and specialized preparation techniques are engineered explicitly for these challenging conditions.
 

Artists' Colony Heritage

As a historic artists' colony, Ogunquit has always embraced color and creativity. Our color consultation process honors this artistic legacy, enabling homeowners to make distinctive choices that respect both their style and the community's character.
 

Seasonal Property Expertise

With Ogunquit's population swelling from 1,000 year-round residents to thousands in summer, we understand the needs of seasonal properties. Our services include specialized maintenance programs and flexible scheduling for vacation homes and rental properties.

The Painter's Perspective: Why Ogunquit Demands Specialization
 

After years of painting in Ogunquit, we've developed insights that inform our specialized approach:
 

• Microclimate Awareness – Even within Ogunquit, exposure conditions vary significantly between protected areas and direct oceanfront locations. We adjust our techniques accordingly.

• Seasonal Timing – We understand the rhythms of Ogunquit's tourist season and plan projects to accommodate property access and usage patterns.

• Material Selection – Not all paints perform equally in extreme coastal environments. We select specific products proven to excel in Ogunquit's demanding conditions.

• Architectural Diversity – From Victorian cottages to contemporary oceanfront homes, we tailor our approach to complement each property's distinct character.

• Year-Round Availability – Unlike many contractors, we remain available to Ogunquit homeowners throughout the year.
