A camp that has sat closed since October needs more than a tidy-up. We handle the full seasonal reset at both ends of the year — the spring open, when the winter dust, cobwebs and whatever got in have to come out before the family arrives, and the fall close, so the place sits clean and unappealing to pests until next season. We work around your caretaker, plumber and dock crew rather than in place of them.
Good fit for
Owners of seasonal camps, cottages and lake houses who want the place ready the day they arrive and left clean the day they leave. Most of this work is around Naples, Casco, Windham, Raymond and the rest of the Sebago Lake towns.

Questions
When should I book my camp's opening clean?+
As early as you can. The first two weeks of the season fill up fastest because everyone wants the same Memorial Day weekend. Tell us your arrival date and we'll clean in the days just before it, so you walk into a finished camp instead of following us around. If you already know your fall dates, book the close at the same time.
Do you handle the water system or winterize the plumbing?+
No, and deliberately so — that's your plumber or caretaker, and getting a water system wrong costs far more than a clean. We schedule around them. For a fall close we'd rather come in before the water goes off; for a spring open, after it's back on, so we can actually use it.
What about mice?+
Common, and not a problem. We clear the droppings and nesting material and sanitize the surfaces, using proper protective equipment, and we photograph what we found so you know where they're getting in. We don't set traps or seal entry points — that's pest control's job, and we'll say so if we think you need them.
Which towns do you do camp cleans in?+
The Sebago Lake towns are where most of this work is — Naples, Casco, Windham, Raymond, Standish, Frye Island, Denmark and Baldwin — along with the rest of York and Cumberland County. Camps on islands or private roads are fine; just tell us about the access and the gate code when you book.
