Kennebunk's Soft Washing Specialists
Kennebunk Homes Deserve Expert Exterior Care
Kennebunk is one of southern Maine's most charming communities — known for its historic architecture, coastal proximity, and beautifully maintained properties. But Maine's climate doesn't make exterior maintenance easy. The combination of humid summers, heavy leaf fall in autumn, and long wet winters creates ideal conditions for moss, black algae, and organic growth to take hold on roofs, siding, and gutters throughout Kennebunk. If you've noticed dark streaks creeping across your roofline or green growth building up on your home's exterior, you're not alone — and you don't have to ignore it. A Plus Exterior Cleaning brings a deliberate, detail-oriented approach to exterior home care right here in Kennebunk. Rather than rushing through jobs to maximize volume, the focus is on doing the work correctly the first time — physically removing moss before applying treatment solutions, using soft washing methods that protect your roof's integrity, and walking you through every step of the process. Your home is likely your largest investment, and treating it that way means never cutting corners to save a few minutes.
From moss-covered rooftops to algae-streaked siding, A Plus Exterior Cleaning offers a full range of residential and commercial exterior services for Kennebunk property owners. Every job begins with a free in-person estimate so you understand exactly what's being done and why — no guesswork, no surprises.
Moss and black algae are among the most damaging — and most overlooked — threats to roofs throughout Kennebunk. Maine's climate, with its moisture-heavy seasons and shade from surrounding trees, creates nearly perfect conditions for organic growth to take root in your shingles. Left untreated, moss physically lifts shingle edges, traps moisture against the roof deck, and accelerates deterioration that can shave years off your roof's lifespan and lead to costly repairs or full replacement. What sets A Plus Exterior Cleaning apart is a hands-on approach that goes beyond simply spraying a chemical solution and walking away. The process begins with physically removing as much moss as possible by hand before any treatment is applied. This critical first step is something many services skip entirely — but it's what delivers faster, more visible results for Kennebunk homeowners. After manual removal, a professional soft wash solution is carefully applied to eliminate remaining spores and organic growth at the root level. Soft washing uses low-pressure application, which is essential for protecting the granules on asphalt shingles. High-pressure washing damages shingles, voids warranties, and creates the exact problems you're trying to avoid. The treatment continues to work over time, and the remaining residue gradually clears from your roof naturally. You'll receive a clear explanation of the timeline and what to expect at every stage. After five years of specializing in roof cleaning across Maine and southern Maine — and having serviced hundreds of roofs without a single reported issue — this is a service built on integrity, process, and genuine care for your home.
Over time, the exterior walls of your Kennebunk home accumulate algae, mildew, dirt, and biological staining that no amount of rainfall will wash away on its own. The north-facing sides of homes in particular — those that receive less direct sunlight — tend to develop dark green or black streaking from algae and mildew colonies that take hold in damp conditions. Beyond the visual impact, these organic growths can degrade certain siding materials and contribute to a general decline in your home's curb appeal and value. A Plus Exterior Cleaning uses a soft washing system to safely and thoroughly remove all organic growth from your home's exterior. Soft washing delivers professional-grade cleaning solutions at controlled, low pressure — which means your siding, trim, windows, and landscaping are protected throughout the process. Unlike high-pressure blasting that can force water behind siding panels or damage wood and vinyl, soft washing cleans at the surface level and neutralizes the biological growth so it doesn't return as quickly. The results speak for themselves: homes that looked permanently stained return to a clean, refreshed appearance that makes a real difference whether you're maintaining your property for personal enjoyment, preparing for a sale, or simply keeping up with the standards of your Kennebunk neighborhood. Every house washing job includes careful attention to your plants, garden beds, and surrounding landscaping to ensure nothing is harmed during the process.
Gutters are one of the most frequently neglected components of a home's exterior maintenance routine — and in Kennebunk, where mature trees are common and leaf fall is substantial, clogged gutters are a real and recurring problem. When gutters fill with leaves, pine needles, dirt, and compacted debris, they lose their ability to channel water away from your home's foundation, fascia boards, and siding. The result can be water overflow that pools near your foundation, accelerates wood rot along your roofline, or leads to ice dam formation during Maine winters. A Plus Exterior Cleaning provides thorough gutter cleaning that removes all leaves, debris, and buildup from your gutters and ensures downspouts are clear and functioning properly. This isn't just a cosmetic service — it's a protective one. Keeping your gutters clean and flowing freely is one of the simplest and most effective ways to prevent expensive water damage to your Kennebunk home. The service is also available as part of a bundle package, making it easy and cost-effective to combine gutter cleaning with a roof treatment or house wash in the same visit. Whether your gutters need a single seasonal cleanout or regular maintenance visits throughout the year, the process is handled with the same care and attention to detail that goes into every job.
Permanent lighting installations have quickly become one of the most popular upgrades for Kennebunk homeowners who want a beautiful, functional lighting solution without the annual hassle of hanging and removing seasonal lights. Unlike traditional holiday lights that require installation and takedown every year — along with the cost of replacement bulbs and the time investment involved — permanent lights are professionally mounted to your roofline and designed to last for years. What makes this service genuinely exciting is the level of control it puts in your hands. The lights are fully app-controlled from your smartphone, allowing you to change colors, set schedules, and switch between themes for any holiday, season, or special event. Halloween orange, Christmas red and green, patriotic red, white, and blue for the Fourth of July — the flexibility is limitless. The installation is handled with the same professionalism and safety awareness that defines every A Plus Exterior Cleaning service. The permanent system eliminates recurring costs and gives your Kennebunk home a polished, customized look year-round. For homeowners who have always loved exterior lighting but dreaded the seasonal setup process, this is a one-time investment that pays for itself quickly — and adds a distinctive, high-end appearance to your property that neighbors will notice.
Exterior Cleaning Services Available in Kennebunk
A Plus Exterior Cleaning was founded five years ago with a clear purpose: to help homeowners across Maine protect and maintain their properties with the kind of care and thoroughness that larger, volume-driven operations rarely deliver.
After years of noticing the widespread presence of moss and black algae on rooftops throughout southern Maine — including the Kennebunk area — the focus shifted almost entirely to roof cleaning and moss removal, a niche where proper technique makes an enormous difference in the outcome.
Over five years of dedicated service, the work has helped clients avoid tens of thousands of dollars in premature roof replacements by addressing organic growth before it causes irreversible structural damage.
The approach has always been rooted in education — making sure every client understands what's happening on their roof, why it's a problem, and what the treatment process involves from start to finish. That transparency, combined with a genuine commitment to quality over volume, is what continues to drive the business forward.
