Over the past 5 years, Aaron at A Plus Exterior Cleaning has helped hundreds of homeowners across Maine and Southern New Hampshire save their roofs — and in many cases, saved them tens of thousands of dollars in premature replacements. If you've noticed dark streaks running down your shingles or patches of green and black creeping across the surface, you're looking at a problem that does not resolve itself. Those stains are living organisms, and every month they remain on your roof, they're causing damage that compounds quietly until the bill becomes impossible to ignore. Moss removal and roof cleaning is not a cosmetic service — it's one of the most consequential forms of home maintenance a property owner in Maine can invest in. This article breaks down exactly what those stains are, why they spread faster in this region's climate, what a proper removal process looks like versus a shortcut that leaves the problem unresolved, and what to expect when you work with a company that takes this seriously.
