Microcement & Decorative Concrete Finishes on the North Shore, MA

Boston Strong Plastering installs microcement and decorative concrete finishes on the North Shore of Massachusetts — the seamless, continuous surface high-end designers and architects keep asking for. Microcement is a thin, hand-applied cement-based coating that bonds to walls, floors, showers and countertops to create one unbroken plane with no grout lines, no tile joints and no visible seams. The result is a calm, modern, gallery-grade surface that feels custom because it is.

This is a true premium product, and right now there is almost no installer who applies it well outside Boston metro. Microcement is a natural extension of what our crews have mastered over 14 years of fine plaster work — the same trowel discipline, the same obsession with a flawless flat surface — now applied to a finish built to be seen and touched.

What Is Microcement

Microcement is a polymer-modified cement coating applied in micro-thin layers, typically two to three millimeters total, over a properly prepared substrate. Because it is applied as a continuous coating rather than laid as panels or tile, it produces a seamless, jointless finish that wraps walls, floors and even shower benches as a single surface. It can be tinted to almost any tone, from warm off-whites to deep charcoals, and sealed for a matte, satin or polished sheen.

What makes it premium is not the material alone — it is the hand. Every coat is troweled, burnished and sealed by an installer who understands how the surface moves and how light reads across it. That is exactly the craftsmanship Boston Strong Plastering has built its name on. If you want the look featured in modern plaster and decorative finishes, microcement is the most contemporary expression of it.

Where We Apply It

Microcement is one of the most versatile premium finishes available, and we install it across the home and in commercial spaces:

• Floors — a continuous, warm-toned concrete floor with no grout lines, ideal for open-plan living areas, kitchens and entryways.
• Walls & feature surfaces — seamless accent walls, fireplace surrounds and full rooms with a soft, hand-finished texture.
• Bathrooms & showers — waterproof, jointless shower walls and floors that eliminate tile grout entirely for a clean, spa-like result.
• Countertops & vanities — sleek, monolithic surfaces that match the floors and walls around them.
• Commercial & retail — boutiques, restaurants and offices that want a designed, durable surface with a high-end feel.

Frequently Asked Questions

What rooms can microcement be used in?

Microcement works almost anywhere — floors, walls, bathrooms and showers, countertops, vanities and commercial spaces. Because it is applied as a continuous coating, it is especially popular for seamless shower enclosures and open-plan floors where homeowners want to eliminate grout lines entirely.

Is microcement waterproof for showers and bathrooms?

Yes. When installed and sealed correctly over a proper waterproof substrate, microcement creates a continuous, jointless surface that performs beautifully in showers, wet rooms and bathroom floors. Eliminating tile grout removes the most common point of water damage and staining.

How is microcement different from regular plaster or tile?

Unlike tile, microcement has no joints or grout lines, so it reads as one unbroken surface. Unlike standard wall plaster, it is a polymer-modified cement coating engineered as a finished, sealed surface for floors, walls and wet areas. It shares its craftsmanship with fine plaster work, which is why our plastering background translates directly to a flawless microcement finish.

Yes. Boston Strong Plastering is based in Danvers and installs microcement across the North Shore’s premium communities, including Salem, Marblehead, Newburyport, Gloucester, Beverly and Andover. We are licensed and insured and provide free on-site estimates.
