About Portage

Pavement care for Portage properties

In 1673 Jacques Marquette and Louis Jolliet crossed the strip of marshy ground between the two rivers, and in 1828 the federal government built Fort Winnebago at the Fox River end. The Fox-Wisconsin waterway was a major fur trade route between Green Bay and Prairie du Chien. The city's slogan is Where the North Begins.

A county seat with a long commercial history has downtown lots, shopping centers and older neighborhoods. The marshy ground nearby is a reminder that drainage matters, so cracks that let water into the base are worth filling early.

What we do

Services for Portage homes and businesses

For homes in Portage we start with the driveway as it is. Cracks get filled with hot-pour rubberized sealant, low spots and potholes get repaired, and then the surface gets its protective coat. Property managers and owners in Portage can ask for sealcoating, crack filling, striping and pothole repair on one estimate, with work scheduled to keep your lot open as much as we can.

Wisconsin winters push water into every crack, and freezing makes it worse. Filling cracks and sealing the surface before the cold sets in gives that water fewer ways in. Sun and weather wear the surface down over time, which is why most driveways do best with a fresh coat every two to three years.

Questions

Common questions in Portage

Why does drainage matter for Portage asphalt?

Water that gets into the base freezes and expands in winter, which widens cracks. Filling cracks and sealing the surface helps keep water out.
