Professional Additional Services in Nakoma, West Madison

Nakoma is one of Madison's most prestigious west side neighborhoods, developed in the 1920s around the Nakoma Golf Club and featuring stately Tudor, Colonial Revival, and Prairie School homes on generous, tree-shaded lots. The neighborhood's architectural heritage means a lot of properties have original stone, brick, and carved wood details that demand careful, knowledgeable cleaning. The Total Wash Co. has been serving Nakoma homeowners since 2021, and we treat every Nakoma job as a preservation project. Tudor Revival homes along Nakoma Road require pH-neutral chemistry on their limestone and concrete block foundations — acid-based cleaners will permanently etch these surfaces. Colonial Revival facades with original wood clapboard need hand-applied soft washing around window casings and corner boards. Nakoma Golf Course's mature tree canopy extends over many adjacent properties, producing heavy tannin loads in gutters every October and creating persistent shade that keeps north-facing siding moist through mid-afternoon in summer. We never use high pressure on Nakoma exteriors — the materials here simply don't tolerate it. We carry $2M general liability and are experienced with the multi-story facades and steep lot grades common in this neighborhood.
