Our Company

A Plus Exterior Cleaning didn't start in a boardroom — it started on a ladder. Owner Aaron spent years working in the electrical trade before deciding that unmotivated work environments weren't where he was going to build a future. A lifelong outdoorsman with a background in rock climbing, Aaron had the comfort at heights and the drive to do things right that most people simply don't. After watching a video about pressure washing and doing his first jobs for family and neighbors, Aaron began noticing something consistent all across Maine and Southern Maine: nearly every roof had black algae stains or visible moss growth. That observation became a purpose. Over the past five years, Aaron has focused almost entirely on moss removal and roof cleaning, building a company around a single philosophy — that doing fewer jobs with greater attention to detail produces better outcomes for every client. A Plus Exterior Cleaning has since expanded to serve residential and commercial properties across Maine and into New Hampshire, adding services like house washing , gutter cleaning , permanent lighting installations , window and solar panel cleaning, pressure washing, and patio restorations. Through it all, the commitment hasn't changed: every property gets treated as if it's Aaron's own, and every client gets the kind of honest, thorough service that keeps them coming back.

Our Owner

Aaron founded A Plus Exterior Cleaning five years ago with a straightforward goal — to provide genuine value to homeowners who needed help with the tasks they either couldn't do safely or simply didn't have time to handle themselves. His background as an electrician gave him a strong foundation in discipline and precision, while years of rock climbing and outdoor life gave him the physical confidence to work safely at height without cutting corners on the job. When Aaron noticed the widespread moss and algae problem affecting rooftops throughout Maine, he didn't see just a business opportunity — he saw a real problem he was equipped to solve. Since then, Aaron has cleaned hundreds of roofs across the region without a single service issue, and every client receives a free in-person estimate before any work begins. That initial visit isn't a formality — it's how Aaron educates you on what's actually happening with your roof, what needs to be addressed, and what it will cost before you ever commit. With a 5-star rating across both Google and Facebook, his approach speaks for itself.

What We Do

If you've driven through Portland, Scarborough, Kennebunk, or any of the communities stretching from the Maine coast into New Hampshire's White Mountains, you've seen it — dark streaks of algae crawling across rooftops, thick moss building up along the edges, slowly breaking down shingles one season at a time. Maine and Southern Maine's damp climate and heavy tree canopy create near-perfect conditions for moss and organic growth to take hold on your roof, and ignoring it isn't a neutral decision. Left untreated, moss retains moisture against your shingles, accelerating deterioration and leading to costly repairs or full roof replacements that can run into the tens of thousands of dollars. A Plus Exterior Cleaning was built specifically to address this problem — not just by spraying a solution and walking away, but by physically removing as much moss as possible before applying soft wash treatments to eliminate what remains. This two-step approach delivers faster, more visible results and gives your roof the thorough care it deserves. Every appointment starts with a free in-person estimate so you know exactly what's being done and why it matters for your specific property.

Our Approach

A Plus Exterior Cleaning takes a deliberate, quality-over-quantity approach that sets the process apart from what most exterior cleaning companies do. Where many contractors simply spray a chemical treatment and leave the moss to die and fall off on its own timeline, Aaron manually removes as much moss as possible from your roof before any solution is applied. This physical removal step is what accelerates your results — less organic material on the surface means the soft wash treatment can work more effectively and you see cleaner results sooner. Soft washing is used exclusively on roofing surfaces because high-pressure washing damages shingles, voids warranties, and can lead to the exact repairs and replacements that proper cleaning is supposed to prevent. Every project begins with a free in-person estimate — Aaron shows up in person, assesses what's needed, explains the process clearly, and makes sure you understand what you're investing in and why it's important for the long-term health of your home. Bundled service discounts are available for clients who want to combine multiple services, making comprehensive home maintenance more accessible. The schedule runs Monday through Saturday, 9am to 7pm, and payment is accepted via cash, check, or Venmo.

Our Community

A Plus Exterior Cleaning serves residential and commercial properties across a wide region of Maine and New Hampshire, with particular expertise in the communities where moss, algae, and exterior organic growth are most persistent. In Maine, service areas include Portland, South Portland, Cape Elizabeth, Westbrook, Scarborough, Falmouth, Yarmouth, Naples, Raymond, Fryeburg, Biddeford, Saco, Kennebunk, Wells, Kittery, and the Sebago Lake region. In New Hampshire, coverage extends through the Mount Washington Valley and Lakes Region, including North Conway, Conway, Bartlett, Jackson, Alton Bay, Lake Winnipesaukee, Tamworth, Hales Location, Madison, Freedom, Wolfeboro, Ossipee, and Intervale. The damp, wooded environments throughout this region — from the marshes of Southern Maine to the valleys of the White Mountains — create consistently favorable conditions for moss and algae growth on roofing and exterior surfaces. That regional context matters, because effective exterior cleaning in this area requires an understanding of the specific organic threats common to each type of property and climate zone. Whether you're on the Maine coast or tucked into a mountain valley in New Hampshire, Aaron brings the same thorough, quality-first approach to every property he services.
