We are not a franchise. Penobscot Cleaning began as a local family shop and has grown into a licensed restoration and cleaning firm serving homes, seasonal properties, landlords, and businesses across Central Maine. Our decades of work put us where the weather hits first — we understand salt corrosion on coastal windows, winter condensation and attic issues, seasonal-home reopenings, and storm-driven basement flooding. That local knowledge helps us act fast and fix it right.
