Seasonal Services in North Madison
Holiday lighting installation, snow removal, de-icing, and seasonal property maintenance.
Madison winters are no joke — and your home should be safe and look great through every season. We handle holiday lights (design, install, takedown, and storage), snow plowing, walkway clearing, and de-icing. Lights go up in fall, come down in January. Snow crews respond within hours. We currently serve 21 recurring snow removal customers across Madison, Verona, Waunakee, Fitchburg, and Cross Plains — from small driveways to large commercial lots. One company, every season.
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 seasonal services in North Madison, WI?
Seasonal services in Madison, WI mean two things: professional holiday lighting that goes up right and stays lit all season, and snow removal that clears your driveway before you need to leave in the morning. I'm Ashton Ferry, owner of The Total Wash Co., and we currently serve 21 recurring snow removal customers across Madison, Verona, Waunakee, Fitchburg, and Cross Plains. Holiday lighting starts around $725 for a typical residential design — everything included: commercial-grade LED lights, installation, timer setup, January takedown, and secure storage until next year. Snow plowing is available per-push or on a seasonal contract. Madison winters average 45–50 inches of snow per year, and our worst events are the January and February lake-effect dumps that hit Waunakee and McFarland hard. We monitor weather continuously and pre-position crews — residential driveways are typically clear within a few hours of snowfall stopping. De-icing with pet-safe options available. Spring cleanup clears salt residue and winter debris from your exterior in one visit, setting you up for the outdoor season.

Why North Madison Businesses & Homeowners Choose Our Seasonal Services
The Northside TownCenter and the businesses around Warner Park already fall on our commercial seasonal-service route, and that same crew continues through Sherman and Northport residential streets on the same weather-triggered schedule — a shop near Warner Park and a Troy Drive ranch home both get cleared off the same storm trigger, not separate vendor timelines. Cherokee Marsh's wetland moisture accelerates both the algae growth we treat in summer and the ice formation we manage in winter, which means north-side properties, commercial or residential, sit on a faster de-icing response than drier parts of the metro. Commercial snow seasonal contracts for the Northside TownCenter corridor start at $500 a month with round-the-clock storm response; residential contracts for Sherman, Northport, and Blackhawk run $400 to $800 for the season. Holiday lighting for a Warner Park-area business roofline and a Mendota Hills home both go through the same custom-cut, fascia-safe install and clean January takedown. Lake View Heights' elevated position catches more wind-driven snow than sheltered inland blocks, a factor we build into scheduling for both categories on that stretch.
- Safe, professional holiday light installation
- Custom lighting designs for every home
- Reliable snow response within hours
- De-icing keeps walkways safe
- Ice dam prevention saves thousands in repairs
- Year-round seasonal property care

Seasonal Service Challenges Specific to North Madison
North Madison sits in the humidity corridor between Cherokee Marsh and Lake Mendota, and that moisture band means ice forms earlier here — on both Northside TownCenter commercial entries and Sherman residential driveways — than in flatter, drier neighborhoods elsewhere in our service area. Cherokee Marsh's enormous wind-driven pollen and cottonwood-seed load every May and June coats gutters on commercial and residential rooflines alike, and skipping that early-summer clean means a fall or winter service visit starts from a partially blocked downspout instead of a clear one. Sherman and Northport's post-war ranch and split-level construction, much of it still on original aluminum siding, needs the same low-impact fascia clip attachment for holiday lighting that a small commercial building's aging trim needs — standard hardware dents or damages both. Blackhawk and Mendota Hills' larger, more heavily landscaped lots create longer walkway and driveway clearing runs than a typical Northside TownCenter storefront's compact entry, which changes crew sizing even though the underlying weather trigger is identical. Lake View Heights catches prevailing wind off Lake Mendota that drives drifting snow onto both residential and any commercial frontage on that stretch harder than more sheltered blocks.
Cherokee Marsh and the surrounding wetlands produce heavy moisture and pollen loads that settle on homes throughout the warmer months. The north side's open exposure to wind off Lake Mendota pushes rain and debris against east-facing surfaces, creating streaking patterns that are especially visible on light-colored siding. Warner Park area homes with mature landscaping see aggressive gutter fill in October and November. We recommend scheduling exterior cleaning in late April after snowmelt and again in early fall before the heaviest leaf drop.
