Which code applies in Maine?

Maine uses the 2021 edition of the International Residential Code (IRC) (Statewide 2021 IRC, effective April 2025). Homeowners rarely ask about code editions, but inspectors do, and a line on your service pages saying your work meets the current 2021 code answers the question before it comes up.

What should a Maine concrete contractor website show?

• Your license or registration number where people can see it, even where the state does not require it in ads.
• A service area list that names real counties and towns, for example York County, Penobscot County and Cumberland County.
• Seasonal pages published before May, so they are found when demand starts.
• Real reviews from local jobs, with the town named, and photos of your own work.
