Ascension's Employee Assistance Program | |
Fish Window Cleaning was founded in January of 1978 by Mike Merrick in St. Louis, MO. It has since grown to be the world's largest window cleaning company with more than 270 franchise territories in 45 states, yet we still maintain the traditional values we were founded on. In 2010 our franchise in Hales Corners was founded by Don Stormoen servicing the southern territory of Southeastern Wisconsin. He ran an extremely successful franchise for 12 years. In 2020 he decided he wanted to retire and sell the business to be with his family. | |
|
In 2022, Greg and Eida Curtis bought the franchise from Don after a careful selection process. We have been growing it ever since, and our intention is to run the company by continuing the excellence in customer service that we honed in our over 25 years of experience in the workforce. Our philosophy is to treat our employees the same way we always hoped we would be treated. We were lucky enough to have a few good examples of good management over the years as well as our fair share of some not-so-good management so we could learn what to do and what not to do. Our goal is to become the leading window cleaning company in our territory with a solid reputation for quality, service, and value for our customers, business partners and employees. | |
