Scarborough's Exterior Cleaning Experts
Scarborough Homes Deserve More Than a Quick Treatment
Scarborough, Maine's coastal climate creates the perfect conditions for moss, algae, and organic growth to take hold on rooftops, siding, and gutters. The combination of cold, wet winters and humid summers means that exterior surfaces on homes throughout Scarborough are under constant biological pressure year-round. Left untreated, moss and black algae don't just look bad — they actively break down roofing materials, shorten the lifespan of your shingles, and can lead to costly repairs or full roof replacements that run into tens of thousands of dollars. A Plus Exterior Cleaning was built specifically to address this problem. With five years of hands-on experience focused primarily on moss removal and roof cleaning throughout Southern Maine, including Scarborough, the approach here is fundamentally different from a standard pressure washing company. Every property is treated as an individual investment, not just another job on a schedule. That means showing up in person for a free estimate, walking you through exactly what needs to be done and why, and then delivering results that you can see — and that protect your home for years to come.
From moss-covered rooftops to algae-stained siding and clogged gutters, A Plus Exterior Cleaning offers Scarborough homeowners and commercial property owners a full range of exterior maintenance services. Each service is performed with a quality-first approach, using soft washing techniques designed to clean thoroughly without causing damage to your property's surfaces.
Scarborough's damp coastal environment makes moss and algae growth on rooftops one of the most common — and most damaging — problems homeowners face in this region. What starts as a dark streak or a patch of green growth can quietly compromise the integrity of your shingles over time, trapping moisture against the roof deck and accelerating deterioration. Many companies will apply a chemical treatment and walk away, but A Plus Exterior Cleaning takes a more thorough approach. Before any cleaning solution is applied, as much moss as possible is physically removed from your roof by hand. This critical first step is what separates a genuine treatment from a surface-level fix. Once the bulk of the moss has been removed, a professional-grade soft wash solution is carefully applied to eliminate remaining organic growth at the root level. Soft washing uses low-pressure application combined with specialized cleaning agents to kill algae, moss, lichen, and bacteria without damaging shingles or voiding manufacturer warranties — something high-pressure washing absolutely can do. The treatment continues to work after the service visit, and the remaining residue gradually clears from the roof over time. You'll receive a thorough explanation of the process and what to expect during your in-person estimate. Protecting your roof in Scarborough isn't optional — it's one of the most important maintenance investments you can make to preserve your home's value and avoid major repair bills down the road.
Scarborough homes are exposed to moisture, salt air from the nearby coast, and shaded conditions that promote the growth of algae, mildew, and mold on exterior surfaces. Over time, these organisms create unsightly dark staining and streaking on vinyl siding, wood, stucco, and painted surfaces. Beyond the cosmetic impact, biological growth left unaddressed can penetrate surface materials and lead to premature deterioration. A Plus Exterior Cleaning uses a soft washing system to thoroughly remove all organic growth from your home's exterior, restoring its appearance without the risks that come with high-pressure washing. The soft wash process combines low-pressure water delivery with professional cleaning solutions that break down and kill algae, mildew, and bacteria at the surface level, leaving your siding, trim, and foundation looking clean and renewed. Special care is taken to protect surrounding landscaping, plants, and garden areas during the process. The result is a home that genuinely looks refreshed — not just rinsed. Whether your Scarborough property needs a routine cleaning or hasn't been washed in years, this service addresses the buildup that everyday weather simply doesn't rinse away on its own. Bundle this service with roof cleaning or gutter cleaning for additional savings.
If you've spent money every year on seasonal holiday lighting installations and removals, permanent lighting is an investment that pays for itself over time — and delivers far more flexibility. A Plus Exterior Cleaning installs professional-grade permanent lighting systems on Scarborough homes and commercial properties that are engineered to last for years without the hassle of annual setup and takedown. These aren't temporary clip-on lights. The fixtures are installed cleanly along rooflines, eaves, and architectural features, creating a polished look that enhances your property's curb appeal year-round. The lights are fully controllable from your smartphone, allowing you to change colors, patterns, and themes for any holiday, season, or special event — all in the palm of your hand. Want deep red and green for Christmas, orange for Halloween, or patriotic red, white, and blue for the Fourth of July? You can switch between any combination instantly. The installation process begins with an in-person consultation where options are presented visually so you can see exactly how your home will look before any work begins. Every installation is completed with attention to detail and a commitment to clean, professional results. Scarborough homeowners looking to elevate their property's exterior appearance while eliminating the yearly cost and effort of traditional lighting will find this a worthwhile, lasting upgrade.
Gutters perform one of the most important drainage functions on your Scarborough home, directing water away from your foundation, fascia, and landscaping. When gutters become packed with leaves, pine needles, dirt, and debris — which happens quickly given Maine's heavy tree coverage and seasonal leaf fall — they stop doing their job. Water overflows along the roofline, saturates fascia boards, backs up under shingles, and pools around your foundation. The resulting damage can be extensive and expensive. A Plus Exterior Cleaning provides thorough gutter cleaning that removes all leaves, dirt, and debris from your gutters and ensures downspouts are clear and flowing properly. This service is especially valuable for Scarborough homeowners heading into fall and winter, when clogged gutters can contribute to ice dam formation and water intrusion. Pairing gutter cleaning with a roof cleaning or house washing visit is a practical way to address multiple exterior maintenance needs at once, and bundle pricing is available for customers who choose more than one service.
Exterior Cleaning Services Available in Scarborough
A Plus Exterior Cleaning was founded five years ago with a clear purpose: to give homeowners across Southern Maine, including Scarborough, a reliable, quality-focused option for exterior home maintenance.
The business was built from the ground up by owner Aaron Hebert, who recognized early on that the majority of homes in this region were dealing with moss, algae, and organic roof growth that was quietly shortening the lifespan of one of the most expensive components of any home.
With a background that includes electrical work and a lifelong comfort with heights developed through rock climbing and outdoor pursuits, Aaron brought both technical discipline and physical confidence to the work of roof cleaning and moss removal. What started as a service for family and neighbors grew steadily into a professional operation serving hundreds of properties across the region.
The business has remained intentionally small because that's what allows the quality to stay high. When a company grows too fast, the attention to individual properties suffers. That's something A Plus Exterior Cleaning actively resists.
Every client who contacts the business can expect prompt communication, a transparent estimate process, skilled workmanship, and a team that treats your property with the same care they would give their own.
