Join the Opening List →Cape Elizabeth became its own town in 1765, and in 1895 its industrial north end separated, leaving the southern part as today's Cape Elizabeth. TotalCare Cleaning will service it as part of Greater Portland, including the areas around Fort Williams, Kettle Cove and Pond Cove.
Cape Elizabeth says it has more parkland and permanently dedicated open space than any other community in Cumberland County, and the longest growing season in Maine. Fort Williams Park is a 90 acre town-owned park at 1000 Shore Road, next to Portland Head Light.
For a homeowner, all that outdoors has a practical side. Gardens, yards and trails mean more soil and leaves at the door, and in a long growing season that goes on for a good part of the year.
About 91 percent of Cape Elizabeth housing units are single family detached homes, about 37 percent have four or more bedrooms, and the median home was built in 1967. So the usual job is a whole family house of some size and age, with several bathrooms, a mudroom and plenty of trim.
A One-Time Deep Clean is a good first step in a home like that, catching up fans, vents, tracks and blinds. Paint from before 1978 gets wiped rather than scraped. After that, a bi-weekly Recurring House Clean tends to suit a busy household. Larger homes land on higher rows of the price table.
Cape Elizabeth has no town curbside trash pickup. Residents use the Recycling Center off Spurwink Avenue with a permit or hire a private hauler. That matters on cleaning day, because household trash will be bagged for your own bin rather than left at the curb. Cleaners do not haul furniture or take trash off the property, so keep your usual arrangement in place, and plan a trip to the center if you are clearing out a room.
Portland Water District serves the town with very soft water, at 7.2 milligrams per liter, so mineral spots are rarely the issue. Soap film is more common, so a little less product goes a long way. Winter brings its usual load, with the Jetport averaging 68.7 inches of snow a year, and a mudroom with good mats is worth setting up properly.
Maine officials also warn that browntail moths are a big problem in coastal Maine. If you see them near your home, avoid drying laundry outside and use a HEPA filter on your vacuum.
