"After being in the restaurant business I knew I wanted to own a business that would provide a service not a product. We have been fortunate to experience a tremendous demand for commercial as well as residential window cleaning service. Thanks to the initial and on-going support of the franchise, our business got off to a great start and will continue to develop and grow as far as we want to take it. We couldn't ask for better people to work with from the franchise headquarters." -Don Markovich, Valparaiso, Indiana
