    Additional Services in Portage

    Specialty cleaning for solar panels, skylights, chandeliers, post-construction, and more.

    Some jobs need a careful, experienced hand — and most companies won't touch them. Solar panels losing efficiency? We restore 20-30% of lost production with a pure water rinse that won't void your warranty. New construction? We remove adhesive, overspray, and builder debris so your home is truly move-in ready. Skylights, chandeliers, mirrors — if it's a surface, we clean it.

    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. Serving Downtown Portage, Silver Lake, Wauona Trail, Cook Street, and more.

    What is additional services in Portage, WI?

    Specialty residential cleaning in Madison, WI covers the surfaces most companies won't touch: solar panels, skylights, chandeliers, post-construction cleanup, and move-in/out exterior prep. I'm Ashton Ferry, owner of The Total Wash Co. since 2021. Solar panel cleaning is our fastest-growing specialty — Madison homeowners lose 20–30% of panel output every year from Wisconsin's spring pollen, cottonwood, and bird droppings, and most don't realize it. We use a dedicated deionized water system (no soap, no chemicals) that preserves your manufacturer warranty and leaves zero residue. A 30-panel home typically runs $300–$390. Post-construction cleanup removes builder adhesive, window labels, paint overspray, and construction dust from new builds in Verona, Fitchburg, and across Dane County — the final detail before a home is truly move-in ready. Skylights at any pitch and height are cleaned inside and out. Chandeliers hand-cleaned in place. Move-in/move-out exterior packages are a popular service for Madison realtors preparing homes for listing photos or buyer walkthrough.
