A bi-annual professional cleaning with deionized water (no soap, no chemicals) restores that production and preserves your manufacturer warranty. I'm Ashton Ferry, owner of The Total Wash Co. since 2021, and in 2026 I started seeing panel installations pop up across Maple Bluff, Waunakee, Verona, and Middleton. ZERO other local companies specialize in proper solar cleaning — most use soapy water that leaves residue and can trigger warranty voids. We use a dedicated deionized water system and water-fed pole designed for solar glass. Spring and fall are our busiest windows: spring clears pollen season buildup, fall preps panels for lower-sun winter output. 30-panel home typically runs $300–$390. Semi-annual plans lock in your pricing. **What's included:** - Spring Solar Panel Cleaning: Post-pollen-season deep rinse using deionized water and soft brush. Removes winter grime, pollen, bird droppings, and dust buildup that accumulated over the cold months. - Fall Solar Panel Cleaning: Pre-winter cleaning to maximize output during lower-sun months. Removes summer dust, cottonwood, and leaf debris before the panels face reduced daylight hours. - On-Demand Panel Cleaning: Single visit for homeowners who had a major soiling event — heavy pollen, bird activity, or construction dust nearby. - Semi-Annual Plan: Lock in spring + fall visits at a fixed annual rate. Scheduled automatically — no reminders needed. **Benefits:** - Restore 20–30% lost energy output per year - Deionized water only — manufacturer warranty preserved - Zero soap residue that attracts future soiling - Soft brush designed for anti-reflective panel coatings - ZERO Madison GBP competitors offering proper deionized cleaning - Semi-annual plan locks in pricing and scheduling ## Commercial Services (Detailed) ### Window Cleaning **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/commercial/window-cleaning **Markdown:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/commercial/window-cleaning.md First impressions start with your glass.

From the bungalows and Cape Cods lining the tree-canopy streets of Eastmorland to the eclectic duplexes and Victorians along Schenk-Atwood, this side of town is full of homes with personality and history. The neighborhoods around Olbrich Botanical Gardens and Starkweather Creek see heavy tree coverage that leads to organic buildup on siding, moss-covered walkways, and gutters packed with leaf debris every fall. Marquette and Elmside Circle homes sit close to Lake Monona, where humidity and lakefront moisture accelerate algae growth on vinyl and painted wood surfaces throughout the warm season. The Total Wash Co. has been serving east side homeowners since 2021, and we understand the mix of older construction and mid-century builds that make up this part of the city. Whether your place is a 1940s Eastmorland original or a renovated Starkweather two-story, we bring the right pressure, the right technique, the right chemistry, and the kind of care your home deserves from a team that genuinely knows the east side streets. East Madison is our neighborhood too, and we treat every property here like it belongs to a friend or a family member. That standard never changes from one job to the next. ### West Madison - **Slug:** west-madison - **Neighborhoods:** Midvale, Westmorland, Sunset Village, Highlands, Nakoma, Dudgeon-Monroe, Vilas - **Landmarks:** West Towne Mall, UW Arboretum - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/west-madison - **Description:** West Madison is home to some of the most well-established and sought-after neighborhoods in the city. Westmorland's mid-century ranches sit on generous lots shaded by mature oaks and maples, while Nakoma features stately Tudor and Colonial Revival homes that demand careful, detail-oriented cleaning by hands that know the materials. Dudgeon-Monroe and the Vilas neighborhood bring a mix of Craftsman bungalows and two-story homes near the UW Arboretum, where the surrounding woods contribute to persistent mold and mildew buildup on north-facing siding and shaded decks throughout the summer months. Over in Sunset Village and Midvale Heights, post-war homes with aluminum and vinyl siding benefit from annual soft washing to stay looking sharp. The west side's proximity to the Arboretum and its network of mature trees means gutters fill fast and exterior surfaces collect organic staining quicker than most areas in the city. The Total Wash Co. has built a loyal customer base across these west side neighborhoods by understanding that these homes represent serious investments and treating them accordingly with the right pressure, chemistry, and technique for each specific surface. From the Highlands to the Monroe Street corridor, we are the cleaning crew west siders trust year after year. Many of our oldest annual-plan customers live here. ### Downtown Madison - **Slug:** downtown-madison - **Neighborhoods:** Capitol Square, Isthmus, State Street, Mansion Hill, James Madison Park, First Settlement - **Landmarks:** Wisconsin State Capitol, Memorial Union - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/downtown-madison - **Description:** 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. ### North Madison - **Slug:** north-madison - **Neighborhoods:** Sherman, Northport, Cherokee Marsh, Blackhawk, Mendota Hills, Lake View Heights - **Landmarks:** Cherokee Marsh, Warner Park - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/north-madison - **Description:** 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. ### South Madison - **Slug:** south-madison - **Neighborhoods:** Bay Creek, Bram's Addition, Capital View, Burr Oaks, Moorland-Rimrock, Pioneer - **Landmarks:** Alliant Energy Center, Olin Park - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/south-madison - **Description:** South Madison is one of the most diverse and dynamic parts of the city, stretching from the lakefront charm of Bay Creek to the commercial corridors along Park Street and out toward the Moorland-Rimrock area near the Beltline. Bay Creek's older homes sit near Olin Park and Lake Monona, where lake-effect humidity keeps siding and decks perpetually prone to mildew and green algae. Bram's Addition and Capital View feature a mix of postwar housing stock, from compact bungalows to larger multi-family buildings, all of which accumulate road grime and organic staining faster than homeowners expect. Out near the Alliant Energy Center, Burr Oaks and Pioneer neighborhoods see newer construction alongside established homes, creating a patchwork of siding materials that each require a different cleaning approach. The Total Wash Co. takes pride in serving the south side because it reflects everything we love about Madison: real people in real neighborhoods who care about their homes. We bring the same professional-grade equipment and attention to detail whether the job is a cozy Bay Creek cottage or a multi-unit building off Fish Hatchery Road. ### Middleton - **Slug:** middleton - **Neighborhoods:** Middleton Hills, Pheasant Branch, Pleasant View, Greenway, Stonefield, Tiedeman Pond - **Landmarks:** Pheasant Branch Conservancy, Capital Brewery - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/middleton - **Description:** Middleton calls itself the Good Neighbor City, and after years of serving its residents, we can confirm that reputation is well earned. This thriving suburb just west of Madison is home to neighborhoods that range from the New Urbanist design of Middleton Hills, with its tightly spaced Craftsman-style homes and narrow streets, to the spacious lots and newer construction around Pheasant Branch and Tiedeman Pond. The Pheasant Branch Conservancy is a stunning natural feature, but all that surrounding wetland and forest canopy means homes in the area deal with heavy organic debris, gutter clogs, and accelerated algae growth on exterior surfaces. Stonefield and Pleasant View add well-maintained subdivisions with vinyl and fiber cement siding that looks fantastic when kept clean but shows every speck of pollen and mildew when neglected. Greenway residents near the Capital Brewery corridor enjoy walkable living but also contend with the tree-lined density that traps moisture against homes. The Total Wash Co. treats Middleton as a core part of our service area, not an afterthought. We know the neighborhoods, we know the building materials, and we show up with the right approach for each property. ### Fitchburg - **Slug:** fitchburg - **Neighborhoods:** Jamestown, Marketplace, Seminole, Swan Creek, Nine Springs, Quarry Hill - **Landmarks:** McKee Farms Park, Agora - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/fitchburg - **Description:** Fitchburg has transformed from a quiet rural township into one of Dane County's most desirable communities, and its housing stock reflects every era of that growth in a way few suburbs do. Seminole neighborhood features established homes from the 1970s and 1980s with mature landscaping that creates heavy shade and moisture retention on siding and rooflines through summer. Over near Nine Springs, the proximity to the E-Way wetlands and the Capital City Trail means homes deal with high humidity levels and organic staining that develops faster than most homeowners realize. Jamestown and Quarry Hill bring newer subdivision development with modern siding materials that still need regular cleaning to maintain their appearance and warranty coverage. The Marketplace area along Verona Road mixes commercial properties and residential pockets, while Swan Creek offers family-friendly streets lined with homes that benefit from annual gutter cleaning and soft washing every spring. McKee Farms Park and the Agora development have made Fitchburg a destination, and property values have climbed accordingly. The Total Wash Co. helps Fitchburg homeowners and businesses protect those investments with thorough, professional exterior cleaning tailored to each property's specific age, materials, microclimate, and architectural surroundings. Our route through Fitchburg runs every two to three weeks during the warm season. ### Verona - **Slug:** verona - **Neighborhoods:** Sugar Creek, Hometown USA, Cathedral Point, Kettle Creek, Bruce Street, Epic area - **Landmarks:** Epic Systems, Badger Prairie Park - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/verona - **Description:** Verona has experienced explosive growth thanks in large part to Epic Systems, and the city's residential neighborhoods have expanded rapidly to keep pace. Cathedral Point and Kettle Creek feature upscale homes with stone accents, composite decking, and multi-story facades that require professional equipment and expertise to clean safely. Sugar Creek and Hometown USA offer family neighborhoods with newer vinyl and fiber cement siding that accumulates pollen, dust, and organic staining across Wisconsin's dramatic seasons. The Epic campus area has brought a wave of modern townhomes and condominiums whose HOAs and property managers rely on consistent, professional exterior maintenance. Over along Bruce Street and closer to the original downtown, Verona's older homes have character and charm but also aging materials that need a gentle touch. Badger Prairie Park and the surrounding green spaces contribute to the tree canopy and natural beauty that make Verona appealing, while also producing the leaf litter, airborne seeds, and moisture conditions that dirty up homes faster than you might expect. The Total Wash Co. serves Verona regularly and understands the mix of old and new that defines this booming community. ### Monona - **Slug:** monona - **Neighborhoods:** Winnequah, Bridge Road, Frost Woods, Interlake, Maywood, Nichols - **Landmarks:** Winnequah Park, Monona Terrace - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/monona - **Description:** Monona is a tight-knit lakeside community almost entirely surrounded by water, with Lake Monona to the north and west and the Yahara River system feeding through to the south. That proximity to water defines both the beauty of living here and the cleaning challenges homeowners face. Winnequah's tree-lined streets and mid-century ranch homes sit just blocks from the lakeshore, where constant humidity drives persistent algae and mildew growth on siding, fences, and concrete surfaces. Bridge Road and Frost Woods homes deal with similar moisture conditions, plus heavy canopy shade that keeps surfaces damp and encourages moss on rooflines and walkways. Interlake and Maywood properties closer to the commercial corridor along Monona Drive see a mix of residential grime and road dust. Nichols neighborhood rounds out the community with well-kept homes that take pride in curb appeal. Winnequah Park, the Monona Community Pool, and the lakefront bike path make this a place where people spend time outdoors and notice when their neighbor's house looks sharp. The Total Wash Co. has served Monona since our early days, and many of our most loyal recurring customers call this community home. ### Maple Bluff - **Slug:** maple-bluff - **Neighborhoods:** Maple Bluff Village, Governor's Island, Farwell Point - **Landmarks:** Governor's Mansion, Maple Bluff Beach - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/maple-bluff - **Description:** Maple Bluff is one of the most prestigious addresses in all of Wisconsin. This small village on the north shore of Lake Mendota is home to the Governor's Mansion and some of the finest lakefront estates in the entire Madison area. Properties here feature expansive lots, mature hardwood trees, stone and brick construction, and elevated lakefront positions that catch wind, rain, and moisture off the water all year long. The combination of lake humidity, dense tree cover, and high-end building materials creates a unique set of cleaning demands not seen anywhere else in our service area. Algae and water staining on natural stone, mildew on painted wood trim, oxidation on copper gutters, and organic buildup on slate walkways all require careful technique and professional-grade equipment combined with patient hand-application. Farwell Point and the areas near Governor's Island include homes where presentation is not optional but expected, and where cutting corners is simply not acceptable to any party involved. The Total Wash Co. provides the level of meticulous, detail-oriented service that Maple Bluff residents require. We understand that properties of this caliber need a cleaning team that respects the materials, protects the landscaping, and delivers results worthy of the neighborhood every single visit. ### Shorewood Hills - **Slug:** shorewood-hills - **Neighborhoods:** Shorewood Hills, University Heights, Blackhawk Country Club area - **Landmarks:** Blackhawk Country Club, University of Wisconsin - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/shorewood-hills - **Description:** 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. ### Sun Prairie - **Slug:** sun-prairie - **Neighborhoods:** Bird Street, Token Creek, Sacred Hearts, Westside, Smith's Crossing, Prairie Links - **Landmarks:** Angell Park, Sun Prairie Sweet Corn Festival - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/sun-prairie - **Description:** Sun Prairie holds the title of Wisconsin's fastest-growing city, and the pace of residential development here shows no signs of slowing. Bird Street and the neighborhoods around Sacred Hearts feature a mix of established homes from the 1990s and 2000s alongside brand-new construction in Smith's Crossing and Prairie Links. Newer homes with fiber cement and engineered siding look pristine at move-in but start showing pollen haze, construction dust, and organic staining within a year or two of Wisconsin weather. Token Creek properties near the nature area deal with heavier tree debris and the moisture that comes with proximity to the creek corridor. Out on the west side, rapid subdivision growth means homes are packed closer together and shade patterns between houses trap moisture on siding longer than homeowners expect. The surrounding agricultural land also means heavier pollen loads in spring and dust during harvest season. The Total Wash Co. has been growing alongside Sun Prairie, serving both the established neighborhoods near downtown and the expanding edges of the city. From the Sweet Corn Festival to the first snowfall, we keep Sun Prairie homes looking their best through every season. ### Waunakee - **Slug:** waunakee - **Neighborhoods:** Waunakee Village, Bishops Bay, Arrowhead, Kilkenny Farms, Heritage - **Landmarks:** Bishops Bay Country Club, Westside Park - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/waunakee - **Description:** Waunakee has earned its reputation as one of the most family-friendly and well-maintained communities in Dane County. The Bishops Bay development features some of the most upscale homes in the region, with stone facades, cedar accents, and expansive decks that require professional cleaning knowledge to maintain properly. Kilkenny Farms and Heritage offer newer subdivisions with vinyl and fiber cement siding where annual soft washing prevents the organic buildup that voids manufacturer warranties. Arrowhead and Waunakee Village bring a mix of established homes, some dating back decades, with mature trees that dump leaf debris into gutters every fall and shade that keeps siding damp enough to support moss and algae. Waunakee's position north of Madison means it catches more wind off the surrounding farmland, carrying dust, pollen, and agricultural particulates that settle on every exterior surface. Westside Park and the community trails make this a place where outdoor appearance matters to residents. The Total Wash Co. serves Waunakee as part of our core service area and we have built strong relationships with homeowners here who value consistency, professionalism, and results they can count on season after season. ### DeForest - **Slug:** deforest - **Neighborhoods:** DeForest, Windsor, Morrisonville, Norski Trail, River Valley - **Landmarks:** DeForest Public Library, Fireman's Park - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/deforest - **Description:** DeForest and the surrounding Windsor area represent the northern growth corridor of the Madison metro, with new housing developments appearing alongside long-established rural properties. Norski Trail and River Valley neighborhoods bring newer construction that benefits from professional cleaning to maintain that just-built appearance, while original DeForest village homes feature older siding materials and mature trees that create prime conditions for algae, mildew, and gutter buildup throughout the warm season. Windsor adds larger rural residential properties with longer driveways, outbuildings, and agricultural exposure that tracks extra dust and organic debris onto exterior surfaces every harvest season. The corridor along Highway 51 between DeForest and Madison sees steady commercial development, creating opportunities for businesses that need regular facade and storefront cleaning to maintain professional appearance. Morrisonville rounds out the service area with a small-town character and homes that benefit from the same professional care as any Madison suburb. The Total Wash Co. travels the north corridor regularly on scheduled route days, serving residential and commercial customers who appreciate a team that shows up on time, works efficiently, brings the right equipment for both new-build and older-home surfaces, and delivers thorough results without cutting corners. From your first quote call to the final walk-through, we treat every DeForest property like it belongs to a neighbor. ### McFarland - **Slug:** mcfarland - **Neighborhoods:** Siggelkow Road, Indian Mound, McDaniel Park, Elvehjem, Yahara Hills - **Landmarks:** McDaniel Park, Lower Yahara River Trail - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/mcfarland - **Description:** McFarland offers the best of both worlds: a genuine small-town community feel with easy access to everything Madison has to offer. The neighborhoods along Siggelkow Road and around McDaniel Park feature well-maintained homes ranging from 1970s ranches to newer two-story construction, many with mature landscaping that creates the shade and moisture conditions perfect for algae and mildew growth throughout the warm months. Indian Mound properties near the lake and river corridors deal with elevated humidity levels that keep siding damp from June through September and accelerate organic staining on every exterior surface. Elvehjem and Yahara Hills bring family-friendly subdivisions where curb appeal matters to homeowners who take pride in their properties year after year. The Lower Yahara River Trail is a community treasure, and the natural areas surrounding it contribute to the pollen, leaf debris, and seasonal organic matter that settles on homes throughout the year. McFarland residents tend to be loyal customers once they find a service provider they trust, and The Total Wash Co. has built exactly that kind of trust here through consistent quality, transparent communication, and a genuine commitment to doing the job right every single time. Annual plan adoption is higher in McFarland than almost anywhere else we serve. ### Oregon - **Slug:** oregon - **Neighborhoods:** Oregon Village, Brooklyn, Rutland, Story Creek, Bergamont - **Landmarks:** Oregon High School, Badger State Trail - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/oregon - **Description:** Oregon sits south of Madison along the Badger State Trail corridor and has grown steadily from a small agricultural town into a thriving residential community. Oregon Village maintains its charming downtown character with older homes that feature original wood siding, brick, and architectural details requiring gentle cleaning methods. The Bergamont and Story Creek developments have added modern subdivisions with contemporary building materials, while Brooklyn and Rutland extend the service area into more rural settings with larger properties and agricultural surroundings. Homes throughout Oregon deal with the unique combination of rural dust and pollen from surrounding farmland mixed with the moisture and organic matter from nearby creek systems and natural areas. North-facing siding and shaded decks develop green algae streaking faster here than many homeowners expect, and gutters fill with debris from the mature hardwoods that line most residential streets. The Total Wash Co. serves Oregon and the surrounding communities regularly, and several of our most valued commercial accounts are located here. We understand the mix of old-town character and new-build precision that defines Oregon, and we bring the right equipment and approach for each property type. ### Stoughton - **Slug:** stoughton - **Neighborhoods:** Pleasant Springs, Downtown Stoughton, East Side, Norse Valley, Dunkirk - **Landmarks:** Stoughton Opera House, Syttende Mai Festival - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/stoughton - **Description:** Stoughton is rich in Norwegian heritage and community pride, from the Syttende Mai Festival to the beautifully preserved downtown centered around the Stoughton Opera House. The residential neighborhoods here feature an appealing mix of historic Victorian and Queen Anne homes near downtown, mid-century development on the east side, and newer construction in areas like Norse Valley and out toward Dunkirk. Pleasant Springs adds rural residential properties with larger lots and more agricultural exposure. The older homes around downtown Stoughton often feature original wood siding, decorative trim, and painted surfaces that need careful soft washing to clean without damage. The Yahara River runs through town, and properties near the waterway deal with elevated moisture levels that feed algae and mildew growth on every exterior surface. Stoughton's mature tree canopy is gorgeous in summer but dumps enormous amounts of leaf debris in fall, making gutter cleaning essential for homeowners who want to avoid water damage. The Total Wash Co. appreciates the character and craftsmanship of Stoughton's homes and brings a level of care that matches the community's pride in its heritage and appearance. ### Cottage Grove - **Slug:** cottage-grove - **Neighborhoods:** Door Creek, Cottage Grove Village, Glacial Drumlin, Nora, Deerfield - **Landmarks:** Glacial Drumlin Trail, Door Creek Golf Course - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/cottage-grove - **Description:** Cottage Grove has evolved from a quiet rural village into a growing suburban community east of Madison, with new residential development expanding steadily while the original village core maintains its small-town charm. Door Creek neighborhoods feature newer homes with modern siding materials, while Cottage Grove Village retains older construction that shows the community's agricultural roots. The Glacial Drumlin Trail runs through the area, surrounded by natural landscapes and wetlands that contribute to higher humidity and organic debris loads on nearby properties. Nora and Deerfield extend the service area into more rural territory where larger lots, outbuildings, and gravel roads mean exterior surfaces collect more dust and debris than typical suburban homes. Door Creek Golf Course and the surrounding residential development have attracted families looking for quality housing with easy commuter access, and those homeowners expect their properties to look as good as the neighborhood. The Total Wash Co. serves Cottage Grove and the surrounding communities with the same professional standards we bring to every job. Whether it is a newer Door Creek subdivision home or a century-old farmhouse near Deerfield, we match the right cleaning method to the right surface and deliver results that protect your investment. ### Janesville - **Slug:** janesville - **Neighborhoods:** Downtown Janesville, Milton Avenue, Rock River, Palmer Park, Riverside, Traxler Park - **Landmarks:** Rock County Courthouse, Rotary Botanical Gardens, Palmer Park, Milton Avenue Corridor - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/janesville - **Description:** Janesville is Rock County's largest city and sits about 41 miles south of Madison along the Rock River corridor. It is a town built on manufacturing heritage, with block after block of early twentieth century Craftsman bungalows, American Foursquares, and post-war ranches that each demand a different cleaning touch and chemistry. Neighborhoods like Palmer Park and Traxler Park feature mature oak and maple canopy that drops enormous tannin loads into gutters every October, while Rock River adjacent homes contend with persistent moisture, mildew streaks along north-facing siding, and black algae blooming on paver patios by mid summer every year. The Milton Avenue commercial corridor brings a full slate of storefronts, offices, and warehouse facades whose appearance directly impacts lease value. Downtown Janesville's brick commercial buildings near the courthouse need gentle soft washing to preserve historic mortar without etching the surface. The Total Wash Co. travels to Janesville on scheduled route days, which means homeowners and property managers get Madison-grade equipment and insurance coverage without paying a travel premium. We understand that Janesville expects small-town professionalism paired with big-city results, and we deliver both consistently across every job. Annual plan adoption among Janesville customers has grown steadily since we began regular south-corridor route service. ### Beloit - **Slug:** beloit - **Neighborhoods:** Downtown Beloit, Beloit College area, Merrill, Strong Avenue, Turtle Township border, Morgan Park - **Landmarks:** Beloit College, Riverfront Boardwalk, Angel Museum, Turtle Creek - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/beloit - **Description:** Beloit sits right on the Wisconsin and Illinois border, about 53 miles south of Madison, where the Rock River cuts through a riverfront downtown that has undergone a genuine renaissance over the past decade. The city's housing stock reflects that history: stately Victorian and Queen Anne homes ring the Beloit College campus, while the Merrill and Morgan Park neighborhoods feature worker cottages and mid-century ranches with original wood siding that needs careful hand treatment. Strong Avenue properties sit on generous lots where mature elms and silver maples drop leaf litter and seed pods that clog gutters fast. The downtown riverfront has attracted new restaurants, offices, and residential conversions, all of which benefit from regular facade washing to counter urban grime and road spray from Highway 90. Turtle Township border homes bring a more rural feel with agricultural dust exposure during harvest season. The Total Wash Co. serves Beloit as part of our southern Wisconsin route, bringing the same professional equipment, same five-star workmanship, and same respect for older buildings that we bring to every job north of the Dane County line. ### Watertown - **Slug:** watertown - **Neighborhoods:** Downtown Watertown, Riverside Park, West Main Street, Concordia area, Highway 26 corridor, North Side - **Landmarks:** Octagon House Museum, Riverside Park, Concordia University Wisconsin, Rock River - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/watertown - **Description:** Watertown straddles the Dodge and Jefferson County line about 37 miles east of Madison and is one of the few Wisconsin cities where you can still find a working octagon house from the 1850s among the residential streets. The historic downtown along the Rock River includes brick commercial blocks that have weathered more than a century of Midwestern seasons and deserve conservation grade soft washing rather than aggressive pressure. Residential neighborhoods near Riverside Park and the Concordia University corridor feature a mix of Italianate, Queen Anne, and early twentieth century Craftsman homes, many with original wood clapboard that requires pH balanced detergents and hand application around decorative trim and aging painted surfaces. The north side sees newer subdivision growth with fiber cement siding that shows pollen haze every spring. Highway 26 corridor commercial properties along the industrial edge accumulate heavy road film and exhaust residue throughout the year. The Total Wash Co. makes regular trips east to Watertown and treats every project here with the same care we give our Madison customers, from careful masking of landscape beds to meticulous rinsing around original wood window trim and decorative architectural details. We know how rare Watertown's preservation-worthy housing stock is, and we work accordingly. ### Reedsburg - **Slug:** reedsburg - **Neighborhoods:** Downtown Reedsburg, Webb Park area, Highway 23 corridor, North Park, Baraboo River neighborhoods, 400 State Trail - **Landmarks:** 400 State Trail, Webb Park, Baraboo River, Reedsburg Area Medical Center - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/reedsburg - **Description:** Reedsburg is tucked into the rolling Baraboo hills about 55 miles northwest of Madison and is a hub for the surrounding Sauk County farmland. The city is the northern trailhead of the 400 State Trail and sits along the Baraboo River, which defines a lot of what keeps homes here perpetually damp on their north faces. Downtown Reedsburg features wonderful Victorian era brick commercial buildings near Webb Park whose original sandstone and pressed brick respond beautifully to gentle soft washing. Residential streets radiating out from downtown mix turn of the century farmhouses with mid-century split levels, and the surrounding agricultural exposure means everything collects an extra layer of field dust from April through October. Homes near North Park and the Baraboo River corridor deal with persistent moisture, moss on shaded concrete, and accelerated mildew on painted wood trim. Highway 23 corridor commercial properties accumulate road grime from through traffic heading to the Wisconsin Dells. The Total Wash Co. brings Madison grade equipment and insurance to Reedsburg, which means the same guaranteed, five-star workmanship even though the town is an hour from our home base. ### Baraboo - **Slug:** baraboo - **Neighborhoods:** Downtown Baraboo, Courthouse Square, Circus World area, Ochsner Park, Baraboo River, Highway 12 corridor - **Landmarks:** Circus World Museum, Al. Ringling Theatre, Courthouse Square, Devil's Lake State Park gateway - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/baraboo - **Description:** Baraboo sits at the southern edge of the Baraboo Range about 40 miles northwest of Madison and is one of the most architecturally interesting small cities in Wisconsin. The Courthouse Square is ringed by cream city brick commercial buildings that have stood for well over a century and need cautious, pH balanced cleaning to avoid damaging the soft limestone mortar. Residential neighborhoods around the historic Circus World site and Ochsner Park feature stately Queen Anne, Italianate, and Prairie School homes whose exterior wood, stone, and slate elements need specialist treatment. Homes closer to the Baraboo River corridor catch daily mist off the water, which keeps siding, decks, and patios persistently prone to green algae streaks by midsummer. The Highway 12 commercial corridor bringing visitors north toward the Wisconsin Dells generates heavy road film and diesel exhaust residue on retail facades. The Total Wash Co. serves Baraboo as part of our regular northwest circuit, and we are familiar with the soft sandstone, original slate roofing, and delicate wood trim that define so many properties here. We adjust pressure, nozzle selection, and detergent chemistry to protect what makes Baraboo homes unique. ### Portage - **Slug:** portage - **Neighborhoods:** Downtown Portage, Silver Lake, Wauona Trail, Cook Street, Wisconsin River, Fort Winnebago area - **Landmarks:** Fort Winnebago Surgeon's Quarters, Silver Lake, Portage Canal, Wisconsin River - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/portage - **Description:** Portage earned its name from the historic portage between the Fox and Wisconsin Rivers and sits about 33 miles north of Madison along Interstate 39. The city has a unique combination of river influence, historic military and trading post heritage, and a surrounding landscape of wetlands that each affect how quickly homes here accumulate organic growth. Silver Lake and Wisconsin River adjacent properties deal with near constant humidity, aggressive algae blooms on siding, and moss on shaded walkways that return every spring within weeks of snowmelt. Downtown Portage's brick commercial buildings along Cook Street have aged gracefully but benefit enormously from periodic soft washing to counter more than a century of coal soot and modern automotive exhaust. Residential streets mix Queen Anne, foursquare, and Craftsman bungalows with newer ranch homes on the north side. The Fort Winnebago area and the Wauona Trail corridor bring a more rural feel with longer driveways, outbuildings, and heavy tree coverage. The Total Wash Co. travels to Portage on scheduled route days, which lets us keep pricing fair even though we are coming from Madison with full trailer equipment. ### Prairie du Sac - **Slug:** prairie-du-sac - **Neighborhoods:** Downtown Prairie du Sac, Water Street, Upper Sauk Prairie, Wisconsin River bluffs, Highway 12 corridor, VFW Park - **Landmarks:** Wisconsin River, Water Street historic district, VFW Park, Ferry Bluff State Natural Area - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/prairie-du-sac - **Description:** Prairie du Sac sits on the east bank of the Wisconsin River about 26 miles northwest of Madison and is one of the most scenic small villages in the state. The downtown along Water Street features a tightly preserved stretch of historic brick storefronts that look like a movie set, and the residential streets up the bluff include a rare mix of Italianate farmhouses, Queen Annes, and mid-century ranches on unusually deep lots. The Wisconsin River proximity means homes here face some of the most aggressive moisture driven algae growth anywhere in our service area, and the tannin rich dust that rides on river breezes settles into siding texture in ways that ordinary rinsing never removes. VFW Park neighborhoods sit in a lower bowl where fog collects on cooler mornings and keeps north facing walls damp well into the afternoon. The Highway 12 corridor commercial properties near the bridge accumulate salt residue every winter from through traffic. The Total Wash Co. treats Prairie du Sac as a route destination and understands the special chemistry required to clean limestone, sandstone, and original wood lap siding without damaging them. ### Mount Horeb - **Slug:** mount-horeb - **Neighborhoods:** Downtown Mount Horeb, Main Street, Military Ridge Trail, Grundahl Park, Highway 18/151 corridor, Stewart Tunnel area - **Landmarks:** Military Ridge State Trail, Mount Horeb Mustard Museum, Grundahl Park, Stewart Tunnel - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/mount-horeb - **Description:** Mount Horeb calls itself the Troll Capital of the World and sits about 21 miles southwest of Madison along the top of the Military Ridge. The elevation and the ridge location mean homes here catch more wind, more driven rain, and more seasonal temperature swings than properties down in the Madison basin, which accelerates paint oxidation and weathers wood siding faster. Downtown Mount Horeb's Scandinavian themed Main Street includes original brick and stucco storefronts that need gentle, low pressure soft washing to preserve their distinctive decorative elements. Residential streets near Grundahl Park feature a mix of Craftsman bungalows, early twentieth century farmhouses, and newer subdivisions with fiber cement siding. The Military Ridge Trail and Stewart Tunnel area homes sit among mature hardwoods whose fall leaf drop regularly overwhelms gutters. The Highway 18/151 corridor commercial corridor sees steady commuter traffic whose exhaust and road salt residue build up on storefronts over the winter. The Total Wash Co. makes regular route stops in Mount Horeb and brings the right equipment for the ridge top climate, from cold weather detergents to hand detail work around ornamental trim. ### Cross Plains - **Slug:** cross-plains - **Neighborhoods:** Downtown Cross Plains, Main Street, Park Street, Highway 14 corridor, Black Earth Creek, Festge Park area - **Landmarks:** Black Earth Creek, Festge Park, Driftless Area gateway, Ice Age National Scenic Trail - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/cross-plains - **Description:** Cross Plains is one of those small Dane County villages that punches well above its weight, sitting about 17 miles west of Madison right where the Driftless Area begins to fold into hills. Black Earth Creek runs through the village and is a nationally known trout stream, but the creek corridor also creates persistent humidity that drives green algae across siding, patios, and driveway aprons within weeks of warm weather arriving. Residential neighborhoods along Main Street and Park Street feature a tight mix of late nineteenth century farmhouses, two story Craftsmans, and mid-century ranches whose original wood and stone elements need careful, pH balanced cleaning. The Festge Park area homes sit up the bluff where prevailing winds drive dust, pollen, and tree debris against west facing walls. Downtown Cross Plains brick commercial storefronts along Main Street deserve conservation grade treatment to protect aged mortar. The Highway 14 corridor sees steady commuter traffic generating road film. The Total Wash Co. is in Cross Plains frequently on the way to and from other west side jobs, which keeps travel costs down and response times fast. ### New Glarus - **Slug:** new-glarus - **Neighborhoods:** Downtown New Glarus, Main Street, Sugar River, New Glarus Woods area, Brewery Hill, Highway 69 corridor - **Landmarks:** New Glarus Brewing Company, Swiss Historical Village, New Glarus Woods State Park, Sugar River State Trail - **Page:** https://www.thetotalwash.com/areas/new-glarus - **Description:** New Glarus calls itself America's Little Switzerland and sits about 27 miles southwest of Madison in Green County, tucked into some of the most picturesque Driftless Area hills in the state. The village is famous for its Swiss chalet architecture, which means a lot of properties here have genuine decorative wood trim, painted fretwork, and detailed balcony elements that absolutely cannot survive aggressive power washing under any circumstances. Downtown New Glarus along Main Street includes iconic Swiss themed buildings whose painted wood facades, flower boxes, and carved trim require careful, low pressure, hand application cleaning by experienced hands. Residential streets up Brewery Hill and toward the New Glarus Woods State Park feature a mix of Swiss influenced single family homes, mid-century ranches, and newer construction with mature landscaping that creates additional shade and moisture conditions. Sugar River adjacent properties deal with persistent moisture, algae on stucco finishes, and accelerated weathering of painted wood. The Highway 69 corridor commercial properties near the brewery see heavy tourist season traffic from May through October. The Total Wash Co. respects what makes New Glarus architecturally special and treats every job here as a preservation project, not just a wash. Owner-operated accountability matters most when the architecture is irreplaceable. ## Pricing Summary - **Window Cleaning:** Starting at $175 - **Exterior Cleaning:** Starting at $395 - **Surface Cleaning:** Starting at $175 - **Gutter Services:** Starting at $195 - **Seasonal Services:** Starting at $725 - **Additional Services:** Starting at $130 Free same-day quotes, no-obligation. Bundle discounts 10–20% on multi-service bookings.
