From city buildings to university campuses to K-12 districts, we make the paperwork as easy as the cleaning. 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. 5-Star Rated Fully Insured Free Quotes [Get Your Free Portage Quote](/instant-quote)[(608) 360-5818](tel:+16083605818) [The Total Wash Promise100% satisfaction guaranteed — or we come back free](/promise) ![Institutional in Portage - Photo 1](/images/jobs/com-building-exterior-cleaned-dunkin-donuts-showcase.webp) ![Institutional in Portage - Photo 2](/images/jobs/com-blue-apartment-courtyard-hero.webp) Portage Areas We Serve:Downtown Portage •Silver Lake •Wauona Trail •Cook Street •Wisconsin River •Fort Winnebago area ## Government & Institutional Services in Portage Here's what's included with every institutional job — no add-ons, no surprises. ★ Most Popular ### Government Building Maintenance Exterior window cleaning, building washing, and pressure washing for city, county, and state facilities. ### University & Campus Cleaning Multi-building portfolio pricing for universities, colleges, and technical schools with summer scheduling. ### K-12 School Exterior Maintenance Annual exterior cleaning programs for school districts with coordinated summer and break scheduling. ### Healthcare Facility Services Non-disruptive exterior maintenance for hospitals, clinics, and medical campuses with background-screened crews. ### HOA Community Maintenance Association-wide exterior cleaning programs with per-community billing and bulk association discounts. ### General Contractor Partnerships Post-construction window cleaning and exterior cleanup with same-week availability and subcontractor agreements on file.
