Moss Removal/ Roof Cleaning

Moss and algae growth on Falmouth rooftops is one of the most common and most damaging problems Maine homeowners face. The region's moist climate and frequent precipitation create ideal conditions for organic growth to take root between shingles, lifting edges, trapping moisture, and accelerating the deterioration of roofing materials underneath. What many homeowners don't realize is that ignoring even moderate moss coverage can cut years — sometimes decades — off a roof's functional lifespan, turning a manageable maintenance task into a costly replacement project. What sets A Plus Exterior Cleaning apart from other services in the area is a critical step most providers skip entirely: physical moss removal before treatment. Rather than simply spraying a chemical solution and walking away, the process begins with carefully removing as much existing moss as possible by hand. This direct removal gives your roof a significant head start on recovery and delivers faster, more visible results than treatment alone. Following removal, a professional soft wash solution is applied to kill remaining organic growth at the root level. Soft washing uses low-pressure application specifically calibrated to protect your shingles — high-pressure washing can dislodge granules, crack tiles, and void manufacturer warranties, which is why it's never used on roofing surfaces. The treatment continues working after the service visit, and residual growth clears from the roof over time as the solution does its job. For Falmouth homeowners, this service is one of the highest-return investments you can make in your property. Clients have saved tens of thousands of dollars in roof replacement costs by staying ahead of organic growth with regular cleaning and treatment. If your roof hasn't been cleaned in several years, or if you can see visible moss or dark algae streaking, scheduling an assessment now is the proactive decision that pays off long-term.

Maine's climate is hard on home exteriors. Falmouth properties deal with everything from salt air drifting off Casco Bay to heavy spring rains and long damp winters — all of which create ideal conditions for algae, mildew, and organic buildup to develop on siding, trim, and foundation surfaces. Over time, this growth doesn't just look neglected; it can penetrate surface materials, cause staining that resists ordinary cleaning, and contribute to premature deterioration of paint and siding. A Plus Exterior Cleaning's house washing service uses a professional soft wash system designed to safely and thoroughly remove all organic growth from your home's exterior without the risk of damage that high-pressure washing can cause. Soft washing combines low-pressure water delivery with professional-grade cleaning solutions that break down algae, mildew, and surface grime at the source rather than just blasting it away temporarily. The result is a clean that goes deeper than pressure washing alone — and lasts longer, too. Clients consistently describe their homes as looking brand new after service, with siding, trim, and decking restored to a condition they didn't think was achievable without repainting. For Falmouth homeowners preparing for a sale, completing a repaint, or simply wanting to restore their home's curb appeal, house washing is one of the most impactful exterior maintenance services available. Every visit includes careful attention to surrounding landscaping and plantings to ensure cleaning solutions don't cause any unintended damage.

Gutters are one of those home maintenance items that are easy to forget about — right up until they cause a serious problem. For Falmouth homeowners, fall leaf accumulation from mature trees combined with Maine's heavy rainfall seasons means gutters can clog quickly, leading to overflow, water intrusion along fascia boards, foundation saturation, and even interior water damage if left unaddressed. A Plus Exterior Cleaning's gutter cleaning service removes all accumulated leaves, dirt, debris, and sediment from your gutters and ensures downspouts are cleared and flowing freely. Clogged downspouts are a particularly common issue — even when the gutter channel appears clear, compacted debris in the downspout can cause water to back up and overflow in concentrated areas around your foundation. This service is an essential part of routine home maintenance for Falmouth properties, particularly heading into fall and following heavy storms. Keeping gutters clean and functional protects your roofline, your siding, and your foundation from water-related damage that can be far more expensive to repair than a routine cleaning. When combined with other services like roof cleaning or house washing , gutter cleaning can be bundled for added savings through A Plus Exterior Cleaning's package pricing options.

If you've been tired of spending money every year on temporary holiday light installations — paying to have them put up, taken down, and stored — permanent lighting is a smart, long-term upgrade for your Falmouth home. A Plus Exterior Cleaning installs professional-grade permanent lighting systems that are built to last for years and designed to handle Maine's demanding weather conditions through every season. Unlike seasonal lighting, permanent systems are fully controllable from your smartphone, allowing you to change colors, patterns, and brightness to match any holiday, season, or personal occasion. Want warm white for everyday curb appeal? Done. Deep red and green for Christmas? A tap of your phone handles it. Blue and white for the Fourth of July or any Patriots game? You have full control year-round without ever climbing a ladder or unwrapping tangled strands of lights again. The installation process is handled professionally from start to finish — including an in-person consultation to walk through your home's roofline and discuss exactly how the system will look before any work begins. Falmouth homeowners who have made the switch consistently report that the convenience, the quality of the finished appearance, and the long-term cost savings over annual temporary installations make permanent lighting one of the best exterior upgrades they've made. This service is available for both residential and commercial properties.
