Window Cleaning in Portage
Crystal-clear windows for your home with our exclusive Quarterly Protective Coating Program.
Madison's most thorough window cleaning — every pane, track, screen, and sill, inside and out. Our pure water technology leaves zero residue or streaks, and our exclusive Quarterly Protective Coating keeps your windows cleaner up to 3x longer between visits. No chemicals on your glass. No ladders leaning on your siding. Just spotless results from a crew that treats your home like their own.
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.
