Exterior Washing in South 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.
South Madison is one of the most diverse and dynamic parts of the city, stretching from the lakefront charm of Bay Creek to the commercial corridors along Park Street and out toward the Moorland-Rimrock area near the Beltline. Bay Creek's older homes sit near Olin Park and Lake Monona, where lake-effect humidity keeps siding and decks perpetually prone to mildew and green algae. Bram's Addition and Capital View feature a mix of postwar housing stock, from compact bungalows to larger multi-family buildings, all of which accumulate road grime and organic staining faster than homeowners expect. Out near the Alliant Energy Center, Burr Oaks and Pioneer neighborhoods see newer construction alongside established homes, creating a patchwork of siding materials that each require a different cleaning approach. The Total Wash Co. takes pride in serving the south side because it reflects everything we love about Madison: real people in real neighborhoods who care about their homes. We bring the same professional-grade equipment and attention to detail whether the job is a cozy Bay Creek cottage or a multi-unit building off Fish Hatchery Road. Serving Bay Creek, Bram's Addition, Capital View, Burr Oaks, and more.
What is exterior washing in South 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.
