Why Sebago Lake Homeowners Call Us Before Anyone Else
Life around Sebago Lake is worth protecting. The wooded lots, the lakeside air, the older homes that have stood through decades of Maine winters — they're worth taking care of. But that same environment creates real challenges for your roof and exterior. Moisture off the water, heavy tree cover, and long winters create the perfect conditions for moss, black algae, and organic growth to take hold — and once it does, it doesn't stop on its own. At A Plus Exterior Cleaning, we've been working in Maine for years and we understand exactly what homes in this area deal with. When you book with us, Aaron shows up in person for a free estimate — no call centers, no strangers who've never seen a Sebago Lake property. You get a straight conversation about what your home needs, why it matters, and what results to expect. That's the kind of service that keeps our customers coming back and sending their neighbors our way. We're not the biggest company on the list, and that's intentional. We stay smaller so every property gets the focused attention it deserves.
From moss-covered roofs to algae-stained siding, every service we offer is designed to protect your home's value and appearance. We handle the dirty work so you can get back to enjoying everything Sebago Lake has to offer.
Moss Removal & Roof Cleaning — If you've noticed dark streaks running down your roof or thick patches of green moss forming near the ridgeline or in shaded sections, your roof is under attack. In the Sebago Lake area, tree canopy and lakeside humidity make moss and algae growth nearly inevitable — but ignoring it is costly. Left untreated, moss roots work their way under shingles, lifting them and allowing moisture to penetrate the roof deck. Black algae, often mistaken for dirt, feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles and accelerates deterioration. The result over time is a roof that needs replacing years ahead of schedule — a repair that can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Our approach is different from most contractors in the area. Instead of simply spraying a treatment and walking away, we manually remove as much live moss as possible before applying our professional-grade soft wash solution. This hands-on step means faster, more visible results and less organic material left behind to re-establish. We never use high-pressure washing on roofs — it strips granules, voids warranties, and causes the exact damage we're hired to prevent. Our soft wash method kills remaining algae and organic growth at the root, treating the surface safely and effectively. The process takes some time to fully clear as treated growth sheds naturally, but the roof cleaning is done right from day one. We've treated hundreds of roofs across Maine and have never had a complaint. If your Sebago Lake home has a moss or algae problem, a free in-person estimate is the first step toward giving your roof the life it deserves.
House Washing — Over time, the exterior of any home accumulates more than just surface dirt. Algae, mildew, and biological growth cling to siding, trim, and foundation areas — especially on north-facing walls and shaded sections that stay damp. In the Sebago Lake area, where homes are often surrounded by trees and exposed to seasonal moisture, this organic buildup can make even a well-maintained property look worn and neglected. Our soft washing system is specifically designed to remove these contaminants safely and thoroughly without damaging your siding, paint, or landscaping. Unlike high-pressure washing, which can force water behind siding panels and damage softer materials, soft washing uses a controlled, low-pressure application of professional cleaning solutions that break down algae and mildew at the source. The results are dramatic — siding that looks freshly painted, trim that pops again, and a curb appeal transformation that makes neighbors take notice. We take care to protect your plants, shrubs, and garden beds throughout the process. Your home is a major investment, and its exterior condition affects both its value and your pride in ownership. Whether it's a seasonal refresh before summer on the lake or a deep clean after a rough Maine winter, house washing is one of the highest-return services we offer. Every job comes with a free in-person estimate and Aaron's personal commitment to results you'll be genuinely proud of.
Permanent Lighting Installations — Holiday lighting goes up, comes down, gets tangled, breaks, and costs money every single year. There's a better way. Our permanent lighting installations give Sebago Lake homeowners the ability to light their home for any occasion — all year long — from their smartphone. These aren't temporary clip-on strings. They're professionally installed, weather-rated LED fixtures mounted cleanly along your roofline and architectural features, designed to last for years without the hassle of seasonal setup and takedown. Through a simple app, you can change colors, set schedules, sync to music, or create custom themes for any holiday, game day, birthday, or just because it's a beautiful night on the lake. The hardware is discreet during the day and stunning after dark. Installation is done right the first time — no shortcuts, no exposed wiring, no damage to your roofline or fascia. Aaron brings his experience working at heights and his background in electrical work to every installation, ensuring a clean, professional result. Once they're up, they're done. No more ladders in December, no more tangled boxes in the garage. Customers who've made the switch consistently say they wish they'd done it sooner. If you've ever thought about permanent lighting for your home, reach out for a free estimate and we'll show you exactly what's possible for your property.
Gutter Cleaning — Clogged gutters are one of the most overlooked maintenance issues homeowners face — and one of the most damaging when left too long. When gutters fill with leaves, pine needles, and debris, water has nowhere to go. It backs up under roofing materials, overflows along your foundation, and can lead to fascia rot, basement water intrusion, and landscape erosion. Around Sebago Lake, where mature trees drop significant debris each fall and spring, gutters can clog faster than most homeowners realize. Our gutter cleaning service removes all leaves, dirt, and buildup from your gutters and checks that downspouts are flowing freely. It's a straightforward service with real consequences if it's skipped. We recommend cleaning at minimum once a year — ideally in late fall after the leaves are down and again in spring if you have heavy tree coverage. Pairing gutter cleaning with a house wash or roof service is a smart way to handle multiple maintenance tasks in one visit, and we offer bundle discounts for customers who combine services. The goal is always the same: protect your home from damage and give you one less thing to worry about. Contact us for a free estimate and let us take this off your to-do list.
