Safety Protocols & Property Protection
We protect your property like it's our own. Here's exactly how we keep your home, your family, and our crew safe on every job in Madison, Middleton, Fitchburg, Verona, Waunakee, Sun Prairie, and all of Dane County, Wisconsin. Every service uses the right technique for the material — soft wash for siding, low-pressure for composite decks.
Is pressure washing and exterior cleaning safe for my home and landscaping in Madison, WI?
Done correctly, exterior cleaning is completely safe for your home, landscaping, and family. The key is matching the method to the material. High-pressure washing on vinyl siding can force water behind the panels and cause mold inside your walls. Full pressure on asphalt shingles strips granules and voids roofing warranties. I've been doing this since 2021 in Madison, Middleton, Fitchburg, Verona, and the surrounding communities, and I've never had a landscaping damage claim. We soak every plant bed within reach before any chemical goes up, keep the sodium hypochlorite at about 1% on the siding, re-wet the beds while it works, and flood and neutralize them after. In Wisconsin, spring soft wash season coincides with emerging gardens — we take extra care around perennials and raised beds.
