    Surface Cleaning in Shorewood Hills

    Professional pressure washing for driveways, patios, decks, and every type of stain.

    Stains other companies walk away from? That's where we start. We match the right pressure, nozzle, and chemical treatment to each surface — because concrete, pavers, wood, and composite all need different approaches. Commercial-grade equipment delivers even, streak-free results across your driveway, patio, deck, and walkways in a single visit.

    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. Serving Shorewood Hills, University Heights, Blackhawk Country Club area, and more.

    What is surface cleaning in Shorewood Hills, WI?

    Pressure washing and surface cleaning in Madison, WI covers driveways, patios, decks, pool surrounds, and retaining walls — matching the right pressure and chemistry to each material. I'm Ashton Ferry, owner of The Total Wash Co., and concrete and paver cleaning is one of our most satisfying services: you can see the line between clean and dirty in real time. A 2-car driveway in Madison typically runs $280–$395; a standard patio or deck (200–400 sq ft) runs $295–$445. Madison's freeze-thaw cycle is brutal on concrete — every winter leaves cracks, salt staining, and algae in shaded areas. We see serious algae and mold on driveways and patios in Monona, McFarland, and Stoughton where lots have heavy shade cover. Oil stains, rust from well water or fertilizer, paint overspray, and efflorescence (white mineral deposits on brick) all get specialized pre-treatment before the pressure hits. Commercial-grade walk-behind surface cleaners deliver even, streak-free results — no wand-only zebra stripes. Concrete sealing available same-day after cleaning.

    Why Shorewood Hills Residents Choose Us

    Shorewood Hills homeowners value craftsmanship, and that is exactly what we deliver. The mix of mid-century modern, Tudor, and Colonial architecture in this village requires a cleaning team that can identify materials on sight and adjust technique accordingly. Stained cedar needs different treatment than painted clapboard, and limestone responds differently than poured concrete. Our initial assessment process identifies every surface type on a property before we turn on a single piece of equipment. University Heights and the Blackhawk Country Club area include some of the most complex homes in our service territory, and we welcome that challenge. Shorewood Hills residents choose us because we approach their homes with respect, knowledge, and genuine care for the outcome.

    • Remove years of buildup in one visit
    • Handle every stain type — oil, rust, paint, algae
    • Prevent slip hazards on walkways

    What Shorewood Hills Customers Say About Surface Cleaning

    Retaining wall restoration

    “Our retaining wall was covered in moss and the steps were black with mold. The transformation was dramatic — it's like having a new landscape feature. Photos don't do it justice.”
