Exterior Washing in North Madison
Building washing and facade cleaning for commercial properties of all sizes.
Your building tells a story before anyone walks in the door. We clean every exterior surface — facades, awnings, signage, loading docks, drive-throughs, and dumpster pads — matching the right method to each material. Soft wash for sensitive finishes, high-pressure for industrial surfaces. One crew, one visit, every surface handled.
North Madison is one of the fastest-changing parts of the city, with new development pushing outward while established neighborhoods like Sherman and Northport hold onto their mid-century roots. The area around Cherokee Marsh is surrounded by wetlands and natural areas that create beautiful scenery but also produce heavy pollen loads in spring and persistent moisture that feeds algae growth on siding and rooflines. Blackhawk and Mendota Hills feature larger lots with mature landscaping where shade keeps surfaces damp well into the afternoon, making moss on walkways and green streaking on north-facing walls a constant battle. Lake View Heights properties enjoy elevated views toward Lake Mendota but also catch more wind-driven rain and organic debris. Near Warner Park and the Northside TownCenter, post-war ranch homes and split-levels with original vinyl or aluminum siding benefit enormously from professional soft washing that restores curb appeal without damaging aging materials. The Total Wash Co. has watched the north side grow and we have grown with it, serving long-time residents and new homeowners alike with the kind of dependable, thorough exterior cleaning that keeps these properties looking their best year after year. Serving Sherman, Northport, Cherokee Marsh, Blackhawk, and more.
What is exterior washing in North Madison, WI?
Commercial building washing in Madison, WI keeps your property presenting professionally and protects the investment in your facade. I'm Ashton Ferry, owner of The Total Wash Co., and commercial exterior washing accounts for a growing share of our Dane County work — everything from downtown Madison restaurant fronts to Middleton office park facades to Verona industrial buildings. We soft wash sensitive materials (EIFS, stucco, painted surfaces, historic brick) at low pressure with biodegradable solutions, and use targeted high pressure for concrete, metal panels, and industrial surfaces. Loading dock degreasing, dumpster pad sanitization, graffiti removal, drive-through lane cleaning, and awning restoration are all part of what we do. Graffiti gets same-day response when possible — quick removal discourages repeat hits. We work around your business: early morning starts, section-by-section scheduling for occupied buildings, and safety cones and barriers for pedestrian protection. Every job closes with a walk-through and photo documentation for your records.
