From the bungalows and Cape Cods lining the tree-canopy streets of Eastmorland to the eclectic duplexes and Victorians along Schenk-Atwood, this side of town is full of homes with personality and history. The neighborhoods around Olbrich Botanical Gardens and Starkweather Creek see heavy tree coverage that leads to organic buildup on siding, moss-covered walkways, and gutters packed with leaf debris every fall. Marquette and Elmside Circle homes sit close to Lake Monona, where humidity and lakefront moisture accelerate algae growth on vinyl and painted wood surfaces. The Total Wash Co. has been serving east side homeowners since 2022, and we understand the mix of older construction and mid-century builds that make up this part of the city. Whether your place is a 1940s Eastmorland original or a renovated Starkweather two-story, we bring the right pressure, the right technique, and the kind of care your home deserves. East Madison is our neighborhood too, and we treat every property here like it belongs to a friend. ### West Madison - **Slug:** west-madison - **Neighborhoods:** Midvale, Westmorland, Sunset Village, Highlands, Nakoma, Dudgeon-Monroe, Vilas - **Landmarks:** West Towne Mall, UW Arboretum - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/west-madison - **Description:** West Madison is home to some of the most well-established and sought-after neighborhoods in the city. Westmorland's mid-century ranches sit on generous lots shaded by mature oaks and maples, while Nakoma features stately Tudor and Colonial Revival homes that demand careful, detail-oriented cleaning. Dudgeon-Monroe and the Vilas neighborhood bring a mix of Craftsman bungalows and two-story homes near the UW Arboretum, where the surrounding woods contribute to persistent mold and mildew buildup on north-facing siding and shaded decks. Over in Sunset Village and Midvale Heights, post-war homes with aluminum and vinyl siding benefit from annual soft washing to stay looking sharp. The west side's proximity to the Arboretum and its network of mature trees means gutters fill fast and exterior surfaces collect organic staining quicker than most areas in the city. The Total Wash Co. has built a loyal customer base across these west side neighborhoods by understanding that these homes represent serious investments and treating them accordingly. From the Highlands to the Monroe Street corridor, we are the cleaning crew west siders trust. ### Downtown Madison - **Slug:** downtown-madison - **Neighborhoods:** Capitol Square, Isthmus, State Street, Mansion Hill, James Madison Park, First Settlement - **Landmarks:** Wisconsin State Capitol, Memorial Union - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/downtown-madison - **Description:** Downtown Madison sits on the narrow Isthmus between Lake Mendota and Lake Monona, which makes it one of the most unique urban cores in the Midwest and one of the most challenging environments for keeping buildings clean. The constant lake moisture from both sides accelerates algae and mildew growth on everything from the historic limestone facades around Capitol Square to the brick row homes on Mansion Hill. State Street's mix of commercial storefronts, restaurants, and upper-floor apartments all deal with urban grime, exhaust residue, and seasonal buildup that regular rain simply cannot handle. Over in First Settlement and James Madison Park, some of the oldest residential architecture in the city needs gentle, expert soft washing to preserve original materials. The Total Wash Co. serves both commercial property managers and residential homeowners throughout the downtown core, navigating tight lots, shared walls, and street-level logistics that other companies shy away from. If you own property anywhere between the Capitol dome and the Memorial Union Terrace, we know the terrain, we know the challenges, and we deliver results that hold up in Madison's demanding four-season climate. ### North Madison - **Slug:** north-madison - **Neighborhoods:** Sherman, Northport, Cherokee Marsh, Blackhawk, Mendota Hills, Lake View Heights - **Landmarks:** Cherokee Marsh, Warner Park - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/north-madison - **Description:** 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. ### South Madison - **Slug:** south-madison - **Neighborhoods:** Bay Creek, Bram's Addition, Capital View, Burr Oaks, Moorland-Rimrock, Pioneer - **Landmarks:** Alliant Energy Center, Olin Park - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/south-madison - **Description:** 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. ### Middleton - **Slug:** middleton - **Neighborhoods:** Middleton Hills, Pheasant Branch, Pleasant View, Greenway, Stonefield, Tiedeman Pond - **Landmarks:** Pheasant Branch Conservancy, Capital Brewery - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/middleton - **Description:** Middleton calls itself the Good Neighbor City, and after years of serving its residents, we can confirm that reputation is well earned. This thriving suburb just west of Madison is home to neighborhoods that range from the New Urbanist design of Middleton Hills, with its tightly spaced Craftsman-style homes and narrow streets, to the spacious lots and newer construction around Pheasant Branch and Tiedeman Pond. The Pheasant Branch Conservancy is a stunning natural feature, but all that surrounding wetland and forest canopy means homes in the area deal with heavy organic debris, gutter clogs, and accelerated algae growth on exterior surfaces. Stonefield and Pleasant View add well-maintained subdivisions with vinyl and fiber cement siding that looks fantastic when kept clean but shows every speck of pollen and mildew when neglected. Greenway residents near the Capital Brewery corridor enjoy walkable living but also contend with the tree-lined density that traps moisture against homes. The Total Wash Co. treats Middleton as a core part of our service area, not an afterthought. We know the neighborhoods, we know the building materials, and we show up with the right approach for each property. ### Fitchburg - **Slug:** fitchburg - **Neighborhoods:** Jamestown, Marketplace, Seminole, Swan Creek, Nine Springs, Quarry Hill - **Landmarks:** McKee Farms Park, Agora - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/fitchburg - **Description:** Fitchburg has transformed from a quiet rural township into one of Dane County's most desirable communities, and its housing stock reflects every era of that growth. Seminole neighborhood features established homes from the 1970s and 1980s with mature landscaping that creates heavy shade and moisture retention on siding and rooflines. Over near Nine Springs, the proximity to the E-Way wetlands and the Capital City Trail means homes deal with high humidity levels and organic staining that develops faster than most homeowners realize. Jamestown and Quarry Hill bring newer subdivision development with modern siding materials that still need regular cleaning to maintain their appearance and warranty coverage. The Marketplace area along Verona Road mixes commercial properties and residential pockets, while Swan Creek offers family-friendly streets lined with homes that benefit from annual gutter cleaning and soft washing. McKee Farms Park and the Agora development have made Fitchburg a destination, and property values have climbed accordingly. The Total Wash Co. helps Fitchburg homeowners and businesses protect those investments with thorough, professional exterior cleaning tailored to each property's age, materials, and surroundings. ### Verona - **Slug:** verona - **Neighborhoods:** Sugar Creek, Hometown USA, Cathedral Point, Kettle Creek, Bruce Street, Epic area - **Landmarks:** Epic Systems, Badger Prairie Park - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/verona - **Description:** Verona has experienced explosive growth thanks in large part to Epic Systems, and the city's residential neighborhoods have expanded rapidly to keep pace. Cathedral Point and Kettle Creek feature upscale homes with stone accents, composite decking, and multi-story facades that require professional equipment and expertise to clean safely. Sugar Creek and Hometown USA offer family neighborhoods with newer vinyl and fiber cement siding that accumulates pollen, dust, and organic staining across Wisconsin's dramatic seasons. The Epic campus area has brought a wave of modern townhomes and condominiums whose HOAs and property managers rely on consistent, professional exterior maintenance. Over along Bruce Street and closer to the original downtown, Verona's older homes have character and charm but also aging materials that need a gentle touch. Badger Prairie Park and the surrounding green spaces contribute to the tree canopy and natural beauty that make Verona appealing, while also producing the leaf litter, airborne seeds, and moisture conditions that dirty up homes faster than you might expect. The Total Wash Co. serves Verona regularly and understands the mix of old and new that defines this booming community. ### Monona - **Slug:** monona - **Neighborhoods:** Winnequah, Bridge Road, Frost Woods, Interlake, Maywood, Nichols - **Landmarks:** Winnequah Park, Monona Terrace - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/monona - **Description:** Monona is a tight-knit lakeside community almost entirely surrounded by water, with Lake Monona to the north and west and the Yahara River system feeding through to the south. That proximity to water defines both the beauty of living here and the cleaning challenges homeowners face. Winnequah's tree-lined streets and mid-century ranch homes sit just blocks from the lakeshore, where constant humidity drives persistent algae and mildew growth on siding, fences, and concrete surfaces. Bridge Road and Frost Woods homes deal with similar moisture conditions, plus heavy canopy shade that keeps surfaces damp and encourages moss on rooflines and walkways. Interlake and Maywood properties closer to the commercial corridor along Monona Drive see a mix of residential grime and road dust. Nichols neighborhood rounds out the community with well-kept homes that take pride in curb appeal. Winnequah Park, the Monona Community Pool, and the lakefront bike path make this a place where people spend time outdoors and notice when their neighbor's house looks sharp. The Total Wash Co. has served Monona since our early days, and many of our most loyal recurring customers call this community home. ### Maple Bluff - **Slug:** maple-bluff - **Neighborhoods:** Maple Bluff Village, Governor's Island, Farwell Point - **Landmarks:** Governor's Mansion, Maple Bluff Beach - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/maple-bluff - **Description:** Maple Bluff is one of the most prestigious addresses in all of Wisconsin. This small village on the north shore of Lake Mendota is home to the Governor's Mansion and some of the finest lakefront estates in the Madison area. Properties here feature expansive lots, mature hardwood trees, stone and brick construction, and elevated lakefront positions that catch wind, rain, and moisture off the water. The combination of lake humidity, dense tree cover, and high-end building materials creates a unique set of cleaning demands. Algae and water staining on natural stone, mildew on painted wood trim, oxidation on copper gutters, and organic buildup on slate walkways all require careful technique and professional-grade equipment. Farwell Point and the areas near Governor's Island include homes where presentation is not optional but expected, and where cutting corners is simply not acceptable. The Total Wash Co. provides the level of meticulous, detail-oriented service that Maple Bluff residents require. We understand that properties of this caliber need a cleaning team that respects the materials, protects the landscaping, and delivers results worthy of the neighborhood. ### Shorewood Hills - **Slug:** shorewood-hills - **Neighborhoods:** Shorewood Hills, University Heights, Blackhawk Country Club area - **Landmarks:** Blackhawk Country Club, University of Wisconsin - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/shorewood-hills - **Description:** Shorewood Hills is a small, affluent village nestled between the University of Wisconsin campus and Lake Mendota, and it has long been one of the most desirable residential areas in the Madison region. The homes here range from stately mid-century modern designs to classic Colonial and Tudor architecture, many sitting on wooded lots with mature oaks, elms, and maples that provide gorgeous canopy cover but also create heavy shade, moisture retention, and seasonal debris. University Heights borders the UW campus and features a similar mix of distinguished older homes with original materials that require careful, knowledgeable cleaning. The Blackhawk Country Club area brings larger estate-style properties with expansive hardscaping, multi-level decks, and premium siding materials. Proximity to Lake Mendota means lakefront and near-lakefront homes here face accelerated organic growth on exterior surfaces throughout the warmer months. The Total Wash Co. serves Shorewood Hills with the attention to detail these properties demand. We use soft washing techniques that protect delicate masonry, stained wood, and specialty finishes while thoroughly removing the algae, mildew, and environmental buildup that this lush, tree-heavy setting produces. ### Sun Prairie - **Slug:** sun-prairie - **Neighborhoods:** Bird Street, Token Creek, Sacred Hearts, Westside, Smith's Crossing, Prairie Links - **Landmarks:** Angell Park, Sun Prairie Sweet Corn Festival - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/sun-prairie - **Description:** Sun Prairie holds the title of Wisconsin's fastest-growing city, and the pace of residential development here shows no signs of slowing. Bird Street and the neighborhoods around Sacred Hearts feature a mix of established homes from the 1990s and 2000s alongside brand-new construction in Smith's Crossing and Prairie Links. Newer homes with fiber cement and engineered siding look pristine at move-in but start showing pollen haze, construction dust, and organic staining within a year or two of Wisconsin weather. Token Creek properties near the nature area deal with heavier tree debris and the moisture that comes with proximity to the creek corridor. Out on the west side, rapid subdivision growth means homes are packed closer together and shade patterns between houses trap moisture on siding longer than homeowners expect. The surrounding agricultural land also means heavier pollen loads in spring and dust during harvest season. The Total Wash Co. has been growing alongside Sun Prairie, serving both the established neighborhoods near downtown and the expanding edges of the city. From the Sweet Corn Festival to the first snowfall, we keep Sun Prairie homes looking their best through every season. ### Waunakee - **Slug:** waunakee - **Neighborhoods:** Waunakee Village, Bishops Bay, Arrowhead, Kilkenny Farms, Heritage - **Landmarks:** Bishops Bay Country Club, Westside Park - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/waunakee - **Description:** Waunakee has earned its reputation as one of the most family-friendly and well-maintained communities in Dane County. The Bishops Bay development features some of the most upscale homes in the region, with stone facades, cedar accents, and expansive decks that require professional cleaning knowledge to maintain properly. Kilkenny Farms and Heritage offer newer subdivisions with vinyl and fiber cement siding where annual soft washing prevents the organic buildup that voids manufacturer warranties. Arrowhead and Waunakee Village bring a mix of established homes, some dating back decades, with mature trees that dump leaf debris into gutters every fall and shade that keeps siding damp enough to support moss and algae. Waunakee's position north of Madison means it catches more wind off the surrounding farmland, carrying dust, pollen, and agricultural particulates that settle on every exterior surface. Westside Park and the community trails make this a place where outdoor appearance matters to residents. The Total Wash Co. serves Waunakee as part of our core service area and we have built strong relationships with homeowners here who value consistency, professionalism, and results they can count on season after season. ### DeForest - **Slug:** deforest - **Neighborhoods:** DeForest, Windsor, Morrisonville, Norski Trail, River Valley - **Landmarks:** DeForest Public Library, Fireman's Park - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/deforest - **Description:** DeForest and the surrounding Windsor area represent the northern growth corridor of the Madison metro, with new housing developments appearing alongside long-established rural properties. Norski Trail and River Valley neighborhoods bring newer construction that benefits from professional cleaning to maintain that just-built appearance, while original DeForest village homes feature older siding materials and mature trees that create prime conditions for algae, mildew, and gutter buildup. Windsor adds larger rural residential properties with longer driveways, outbuildings, and agricultural exposure that tracks extra dust and organic debris onto exterior surfaces. The corridor along Highway 51 between DeForest and Madison sees steady commercial development, creating opportunities for businesses that need regular facade and storefront cleaning. Morrisonville rounds out the service area with a small-town character and homes that benefit from the same professional care as any Madison suburb. The Total Wash Co. travels the north corridor regularly, serving residential and commercial customers who appreciate a team that shows up on time, works efficiently, and delivers thorough results without cutting corners. ### McFarland - **Slug:** mcfarland - **Neighborhoods:** Siggelkow Road, Indian Mound, McDaniel Park, Elvehjem, Yahara Hills - **Landmarks:** McDaniel Park, Lower Yahara River Trail - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/mcfarland - **Description:** McFarland offers the best of both worlds: a genuine small-town community feel with easy access to everything Madison has to offer. The neighborhoods along Siggelkow Road and around McDaniel Park feature well-maintained homes ranging from 1970s ranches to newer two-story construction, many with mature landscaping that creates the shade and moisture conditions perfect for algae and mildew growth. Indian Mound properties near the lake and river corridors deal with elevated humidity levels that keep siding damp and accelerate organic staining. Elvehjem and Yahara Hills bring family-friendly subdivisions where curb appeal matters to homeowners who take pride in their properties. The Lower Yahara River Trail is a community treasure, and the natural areas surrounding it contribute to the pollen, leaf debris, and seasonal organic matter that settles on homes throughout the year. McFarland residents tend to be loyal customers once they find a service provider they trust, and The Total Wash Co. has built exactly that kind of trust here through consistent quality, transparent communication, and a genuine commitment to doing the job right every single time. ### Oregon - **Slug:** oregon - **Neighborhoods:** Oregon Village, Brooklyn, Rutland, Story Creek, Bergamont - **Landmarks:** Oregon High School, Badger State Trail - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/oregon - **Description:** Oregon sits south of Madison along the Badger State Trail corridor and has grown steadily from a small agricultural town into a thriving residential community. Oregon Village maintains its charming downtown character with older homes that feature original wood siding, brick, and architectural details requiring gentle cleaning methods. The Bergamont and Story Creek developments have added modern subdivisions with contemporary building materials, while Brooklyn and Rutland extend the service area into more rural settings with larger properties and agricultural surroundings. Homes throughout Oregon deal with the unique combination of rural dust and pollen from surrounding farmland mixed with the moisture and organic matter from nearby creek systems and natural areas. North-facing siding and shaded decks develop green algae streaking faster here than many homeowners expect, and gutters fill with debris from the mature hardwoods that line most residential streets. The Total Wash Co. serves Oregon and the surrounding communities regularly, and several of our most valued commercial accounts are located here. We understand the mix of old-town character and new-build precision that defines Oregon, and we bring the right equipment and approach for each property type. ### Stoughton - **Slug:** stoughton - **Neighborhoods:** Pleasant Springs, Downtown Stoughton, East Side, Norse Valley, Dunkirk - **Landmarks:** Stoughton Opera House, Syttende Mai Festival - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/stoughton - **Description:** Stoughton is rich in Norwegian heritage and community pride, from the Syttende Mai Festival to the beautifully preserved downtown centered around the Stoughton Opera House. The residential neighborhoods here feature an appealing mix of historic Victorian and Queen Anne homes near downtown, mid-century development on the east side, and newer construction in areas like Norse Valley and out toward Dunkirk. Pleasant Springs adds rural residential properties with larger lots and more agricultural exposure. The older homes around downtown Stoughton often feature original wood siding, decorative trim, and painted surfaces that need careful soft washing to clean without damage. The Yahara River runs through town, and properties near the waterway deal with elevated moisture levels that feed algae and mildew growth on every exterior surface. Stoughton's mature tree canopy is gorgeous in summer but dumps enormous amounts of leaf debris in fall, making gutter cleaning essential for homeowners who want to avoid water damage. The Total Wash Co. appreciates the character and craftsmanship of Stoughton's homes and brings a level of care that matches the community's pride in its heritage and appearance. ### Cottage Grove - **Slug:** cottage-grove - **Neighborhoods:** Door Creek, Cottage Grove Village, Glacial Drumlin, Nora, Deerfield - **Landmarks:** Glacial Drumlin Trail, Door Creek Golf Course - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/cottage-grove - **Description:** Cottage Grove has evolved from a quiet rural village into a growing suburban community east of Madison, with new residential development expanding steadily while the original village core maintains its small-town charm. Door Creek neighborhoods feature newer homes with modern siding materials, while Cottage Grove Village retains older construction that shows the community's agricultural roots. The Glacial Drumlin Trail runs through the area, surrounded by natural landscapes and wetlands that contribute to higher humidity and organic debris loads on nearby properties. Nora and Deerfield extend the service area into more rural territory where larger lots, outbuildings, and gravel roads mean exterior surfaces collect more dust and debris than typical suburban homes. Door Creek Golf Course and the surrounding residential development have attracted families looking for quality housing with easy commuter access, and those homeowners expect their properties to look as good as the neighborhood. The Total Wash Co. serves Cottage Grove and the surrounding communities with the same professional standards we bring to every job. Whether it is a newer Door Creek subdivision home or a century-old farmhouse near Deerfield, we match the right cleaning method to the right surface and deliver results that protect your investment. ## Pricing Summary - **Window Cleaning:** Starting at $199 - **Exterior Cleaning:** Starting at $330 - **Surface Cleaning:** Starting at $330 - **Gutter Services:** Starting at $200 - **Seasonal Services:** Starting at $725 - **Additional Services:** Starting at $130 Free same-day quotes, no-obligation.
