Join the Opening List →Scarborough is a coastal town with a lot of variety, from Pine Point and Prouts Neck to the many homes built since 1990. TotalCare Cleaning will service Scarborough as part of Greater Portland, including Black Point and the beach areas.
Scarborough maintains three beaches with town parking: Pine Point at Hurd Park, Ferry Beach and Higgins Beach. Scarborough Marsh, a 3,100 acre estuary off Pine Point Road, is the largest salt marsh in Maine.
Along that coast, sand is simply part of the household routine for much of the year, and a good rinse station or foot brush at the door is worth having. Sand scratches floors, so vacuum it up rather than pushing it around with a broom.
About 47 percent of Scarborough housing units were built in 1990 or later, the median home was built in 1988, and about 69 percent are single family detached homes. In a house like that, floor area and the number of bathrooms drive the work more than age does. A bi-weekly Recurring House Clean tends to suit a family home.
Census estimates also count about 850 Scarborough homes held for seasonal, recreational or occasional use, about three quarters of the town's vacant units. A home that sits closed benefits from a One-Time Deep Clean before you return, so that you do not spend your first days back dealing with dust.
Scarborough requires annual registration of short-term rentals under 28 days, and it allows non-owner-occupied rentals in residential areas only within its Coastal Beach Overlay, which includes Pine Point, Prouts Neck, Ferry Beach and Higgins Beach. Check with the town about your address.
If your place qualifies, a repeatable turnover checklist is what keeps it running. Keep linens and restocking separate from the cleaning itself, and plan a deeper reset for quieter weeks. The paid parking season at the town's beaches runs from the Friday before Memorial Day through Labor Day, which gives you a rough idea of when to expect guests.
Cumberland County was included in a federal Major Disaster Declaration for the severe storms and flooding of January 9 to 13, 2024. If your home has suffered storm damage, repairs and specialists come first, because cleaners do not handle water damage. Once it has been repaired and is dry, a deep clean can take care of any dust left behind.
The Jetport averages 68.7 inches of snow a year, so a winter mat routine matters here too. Prices follow the home's size, on the area's one table; see the cost page.
