Winans

What Winans does

Winans Services is a West Virginia-based commercial janitorial and facility services provider founded in 1959 in Parkersburg by Jim Winans, Jr. and family members. The company operates three offices across the state (Parkersburg headquarters, Wheeling, Charleston) and delivers a portfolio of integrated facility services including day-to-day janitorial and housekeeping, specialized and customized cleaning (carpet steam extraction, floor care, window cleaning, drapery, construction clean-up), industrial services (industrial packaging, HVAC maintenance), restoration (fire and flood clean-up), emergency response, and broader facility services (guard services, equipment leasing, mail sorting and delivery).

Revenue is generated through two primary streams: recurring janitorial and housekeeping contracts with commercial, educational, and industrial clients (subscription-style recurring revenue), and project-based specialized services billed per engagement (professional services revenue). Pricing is custom-quoted based on facility size, service scope, and contract terms and is not publicly disclosed. The customer base is segmented horizontally across commercial businesses, educational facilities, and industrial operations, with no single anchor customer named.

Since 2017, Winans has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Scioto Services, L.L.C., itself a subsidiary of Marsden Holding LLC. The Marsden enterprise is a national facility services platform spanning janitorial, security, mechanical, emergency response, and facility services. The company retains the Winans brand, its family-oriented operating culture, and its local West Virginia service delivery while leveraging Marsden's national infrastructure for back-office, marketing, and enterprise support. With 251-500 employees and no disclosed revenue or active funding, Winans operates as a stable regional services subsidiary within a larger national platform.
