Wiscasset borders Woolwich to the east, which makes it one of the closest towns we serve. It is the Lincoln County seat, sits along the Sheepscot River, and is known for its early architecture and a busy stretch of U.S. Route 1 that draws summer traffic. Many historic homes in and around the village have been standing for a very long time, and they call for renovation work that respects the original structure while fixing what has worn out. Beyond the village, much of the town is rural, with homes on private septic systems and gravel driveways. Properties near the Sheepscot and its coves may fall under shoreland rules, so site work planning should start early. Businesses along Route 1 need their lots cleared and treated quickly after a storm to stay open. From our base next door in Woolwich, Wiscasset projects and winter routes are close at hand.
