Exterior Cleaning Services in East Madison

Most East Madison quote requests get a same-day or next-business-day response. Because we run scheduled routes through Eastmorland, Schenk-Atwood, and the Olbrich corridor most weeks during the warm season, we can usually visit the property within five business days during shoulder season and within ten days during the April-June peak. Lake Monona-adjacent jobs on Elmside Circle and Marquette streets get prioritized in early summer because that's when the lake-effect algae load is at its worst.

Yes — and on 1925-1955 wood clapboard, soft washing is the only appropriate method. We use a calibrated soft-wash system at 400 PSI or below combined with a sodium hypochlorite surfactant in the 0.5% to 1.5% concentration range, depending on algae density. That kills the algae on contact and rinses cleanly without driving water behind original window casings or under aging lap-siding seams. We hand-apply around all trim and never let the wand cross a horizontal seam at high angle. On 1940s Eastmorland Cape Cods we routinely service, we get full algae removal with zero paint lift.

Twice a year for any home under significant elm, silver maple, or oak canopy in the Olbrich, Marquette, or Schenk-Atwood corridors. The first visit should land in mid-May to clear winter debris, helicopter seeds, and the fine grit that builds up during snowmelt. The second visit should land between November 1 and November 15 — that window catches the last of the leaf drop without waiting until the gutters freeze solid. Properties on Atwood Avenue and Eastwood Drive with mature maple canopy often need a third light visit in mid-September to clear early leaf fall before the heavy October drop.

Yes, and we strongly recommend deionized water for any window within 200 feet of Lake Monona. Lakefront humidity carries fine mineral particulate that deposits on glass during every irrigation cycle and every morning fog event. Tap-water cleaning leaves visible spotting within days on lakeshore glass; our DI system rinses pure and the windows stay spot-free for weeks. We've cleaned 30+ Marquette and Elmside Circle homes since 2021 using this method.

Spring driveway cleaning on East Washington Avenue and the East Towne corridor uses a two-step process: first an oxalic-acid-based pre-treatment to dissolve the calcium and magnesium chloride mineral deposits left by winter salt, then a hot-water pressure rinse at 180 to 200 degrees to flush dissolved residue and any embedded organic film. Standard cold-rinse pressure washing alone leaves the mineral haze behind — most homeowners are surprised how much whiter the concrete looks after our acid pre-treatment step.

Yes — Schenk-Atwood and Marquette have a high concentration of duplex and small multi-family buildings, and we work with both individual landlords and property-management companies. We coordinate access through tenants when needed, work in early-morning windows where required by city noise ordinance, and provide single combined invoicing for multi-unit packages. Our $2M general liability covers tenant-occupied properties just as it covers single-family homes.
