Exterior Washing in Downtown Madison

Building washing and facade cleaning for commercial properties of all sizes.

Your building tells a story before anyone walks in the door. We clean every exterior surface — facades, awnings, signage, loading docks, drive-throughs, and dumpster pads — matching the right method to each material. Soft wash for sensitive finishes, high-pressure for industrial surfaces. One crew, one visit, every surface handled.

Downtown Madison sits on the narrow Isthmus between Lake Mendota and Lake Monona, which makes it one of the most unique urban cores in the Midwest and one of the most challenging environments for keeping buildings clean. The constant lake moisture from both sides accelerates algae and mildew growth on everything from the historic limestone facades around Capitol Square to the brick row homes on Mansion Hill. State Street's mix of commercial storefronts, restaurants, and upper-floor apartments all deal with urban grime, exhaust residue, and seasonal buildup that regular rain simply cannot handle. Over in First Settlement and James Madison Park, some of the oldest residential architecture in the city needs gentle, expert soft washing to preserve original materials. The Total Wash Co. serves both commercial property managers and residential homeowners throughout the downtown core, navigating tight lots, shared walls, and street-level logistics that other companies shy away from. If you own property anywhere between the Capitol dome and the Memorial Union Terrace, we know the terrain, we know the challenges, and we deliver results that hold up in Madison's demanding four-season climate. Serving Capitol Square, Isthmus, State Street, Mansion Hill, and more.
