Complete house washing and soft wash services to restore your home's curb appeal.
Most pressure washing companies blast your siding and hope for the best. We do the opposite. Our soft wash method applies biodegradable solutions at low pressure, killing algae, mold, and mildew at the root without risking damage to your siding, paint, or landscaping. The result: your home looks years younger, and it stays cleaner longer because we treat the cause — not just the surface.

Why Stoughton Homeowners Choose Us for Exterior Cleaning
Most Madison-area homes fall between $250 and $600 depending on square footage — that is the honest range for Stoughton exterior cleaning, and most properties fall toward the middle. The Yahara River runs through Stoughton and creates a moisture corridor that drives algae on the riverside half of every property within two blocks. East Main, Mandt Park, and Main Street all sit inside our weekly Stoughton exterior cleaning loop. Algae, mildew, and pollen film on north-facing walls is the dominant issue, and biodegradable surfactants do the lifting — not raw pressure. Yahara River moisture corridor through the middle of town, which is the operative environmental fact for every exterior cleaning schedule we set here. Most homes here benefit from an annual exterior clean; heavily shaded properties need it twice yearly. A typical 2,000 to 2,500 square foot single-story job runs three to four hours from setup to walkthrough. Historic-district lot setbacks are tight — we use compact gear here; 25 minutes southeast of base; same crew every visit.

Exterior Cleaning Challenges Specific to Stoughton
Around Stoughton Opera House and Yahara River, exterior cleaning is shaped by environmental conditions that central Madison neighborhoods simply do not face. Yahara River moisture corridor through the middle of town. River-corridor moisture amplifies pollen settling on damp surfaces — and East Main blocks catch the worst of it. Algae, mildew, and pollen film on north-facing walls is the dominant issue, and biodegradable surfactants do the lifting — not raw pressure. Downtown Stoughton's mature canopy makes fall gutter service non-negotiable. Winter adds Highway 51 and Main Street winter residue near downtown. The dominant property issue we resolve on Stoughton exterior cleaning jobs is algae, mildew, pollen film, and organic biofilm on north-facing walls — concentrated on north walls and shaded surfaces. Our two-step soft-wash sequence dwells, lifts, and rinses biofilm at under 60 PSI — never the aggressive pressure that strips paint and forces water behind lap joints. Recommended cadence: most homes here benefit from an annual exterior clean; heavily shaded properties need it twice yearly; a typical 2,000-2,500 sq ft single-story takes 3-4 hours.
The Yahara River runs directly through Stoughton, creating a moisture corridor that keeps riverside properties prone to algae, mildew, and moss throughout the warm season. Downtown Stoughton's mature tree canopy produces heavy shade and aggressive leaf drop, making gutter service critical in fall. The Norwegian heritage homes with complex rooflines and decorative trim create more surface area for organic buildup to accumulate. Properties on the east side with open exposure to surrounding farmland see heavier dust and pollen deposits. We recommend spring cleaning in May and gutter service in November.
