Magic Suds was established in the fall of 2018. I remember vividly my first son was born at the end of September and that month I began climbing the ladder of window washing. I can honestly say I never thought that I would be where I am, doing what I do, but I am so thankful that I am because I love it. I had 97 dollars in my account and needed to pay rent so I went to Lowes and purchased every window washing tool you could find and set out to make the big bucks. Needless to say, most people don’t get their windows cleaned that late in the year so I learned a lot. I cleaned a lot of windows for almost nothing, sold myself short more often than not, and worked until I could barely keep my eyes open. I did it all to take care of my family.

In the beginning it was definitely challenging, but I look back on the lessons I have learned and am still learning, and I am thankful for each and every step along the way. Even the hard lessons because that is where I learned the most. I didn’t just learn about windows, but about people and myself. I pride myself in my ability to do a good job, but more so for building relationships with people.

I am a window cleaner but at the end of the day I want the interaction and experience that was created to be more memorable than the job I did. In life you can’t control much but one thing you can control is how you treat others and make them feel. My goal at Magic Suds is not just to clean windows but to work with a servants heart for people and leave their homes and business’ better than I find them. At Magic Suds we strive to serve our community through building relationships first and providing a quality product and service second.
