Kittery's Coastal Home Cleaning Experts
Kittery Homes Deserve More Than a Quick Rinse
Kittery's coastal climate is one of the most beautiful in all of southern Maine — but that same salt air, moisture, and shade from surrounding tree cover creates the ideal conditions for moss, black algae, and mildew to take hold on rooftops and home exteriors. If you've noticed dark streaking on your shingles or green growth spreading across your siding, you're not alone. It's one of the most common issues facing Kittery homeowners, and it's one that only gets more expensive the longer it's left untreated. A Plus Exterior Cleaning was built specifically to address this problem. With over five years of focused experience in moss removal and roof cleaning across Maine and southern Maine, the team understands exactly what these properties face season after season. Every visit to a Kittery property starts with a free, in-person estimate — because no two roofs or homes are exactly the same, and your property deserves a personalized approach, not a cookie-cutter quote.
From moss-covered rooftops to algae-stained siding and clogged gutters, A Plus Exterior Cleaning offers a full range of residential and commercial exterior services throughout Kittery. Every service is performed with careful attention to detail, safe soft-washing techniques where appropriate, and a commitment to results that last — not just a surface-level clean that fades in a few weeks.
Moss and black algae on your roof aren't just cosmetic issues — they're actively shortening the life of your shingles. In Kittery, where moisture from the coast and seasonal rainfall keeps rooftops damp for extended periods, organic growth like moss and algae can spread quickly and go deep into roofing material if left untreated. What makes A Plus Exterior Cleaning different from other providers is the approach: rather than simply spraying a chemical treatment and calling it done, the team physically removes as much moss as possible by hand before applying the cleaning solution. This matters because physical removal means faster, more visible results for you. The soft-wash solution then penetrates and kills the remaining organic growth at the root level, eliminating it over time without the damage that high-pressure washing causes to shingle granules. Using high-pressure water on a roof is one of the fastest ways to accelerate wear and invite costly repairs or early replacement — something A Plus Exterior Cleaning is firmly against. With hundreds of roofs serviced and a spotless track record, Kittery homeowners can trust that their roof is in experienced, careful hands. The result isn't just a cleaner-looking roof — it's a roof with years of additional life, and potentially tens of thousands of dollars saved by avoiding premature replacement.
Kittery's humid coastal environment makes algae and mildew growth on home exteriors a near-constant battle, especially on north-facing walls and shaded areas where moisture lingers. Over time, that organic buildup doesn't just look bad — it can work its way into siding materials, causing deterioration that turns a cleaning problem into a repair problem. A Plus Exterior Cleaning's house washing service uses a soft-washing system specifically designed to remove algae, mildew, and organic grime from your home's exterior without the risk of damage that comes with high-pressure equipment. The cleaning solutions used are effective against organic growth while being applied with care around your landscaping, windows, and foundation. The end result is a home exterior that looks refreshed and renewed — not just temporarily rinsed. Whether you're dealing with years of buildup, preparing your home for painting, or simply maintaining your property's appearance and value, professional house washing is one of the smartest investments a Kittery homeowner can make. Every job is approached with the same standard: your property treated as if it were their own.
Gutters are one of the most overlooked components of a home's exterior maintenance routine — until something goes wrong. In Kittery, fall foliage and year-round debris accumulation can clog gutters and downspouts faster than most homeowners expect. When gutters can't drain properly, water overflows along your roofline and foundation, leading to damage that's far more expensive than a routine cleaning. A Plus Exterior Cleaning removes all leaves, dirt, and debris from your gutters and ensures your downspouts are clear and functioning as they should. This isn't just about aesthetics — it's about protecting the structural integrity of your home. Overflowing gutters can lead to fascia rot, foundation erosion, and even basement water intrusion. Keeping your gutters clear is a simple, cost-effective way to avoid those outcomes. For Kittery homeowners who want to stay ahead of maintenance rather than react to problems, scheduling regular gutter cleaning with A Plus Exterior Cleaning is a straightforward decision. Bundle gutter cleaning with another service and take advantage of multi-service package discounts to keep your full exterior in shape for less.

A Plus Exterior Cleaning was founded five years ago by Aaron Hebert, a driven entrepreneur with a background as an electrician and a lifelong passion for the outdoors. After recognizing just how widespread moss and algae growth was on rooftops throughout Maine and southern Maine — including communities like Kittery — Aaron channeled his energy into building a business that could genuinely help homeowners protect one of their biggest investments.
What started as exterior washing work for neighbors and family evolved into a specialized focus on moss removal and roof cleaning, where Aaron discovered he could not only restore the appearance of rooftops but extend their useful life significantly. The business operates on a quality-over-quantity model, with a deep commitment to treating every client's property the way Aaron would want his own treated.
From the initial free estimate to the final walkthrough, the focus is on doing things right, communicating clearly, and making sure every Kittery client walks away satisfied — and confident their home is in better shape than when they called.
