I started this business at 15 with a few hundred dollars and a dream to fund my college education. What started as a small hustle, quickly turned into a full-time business with my younger brothers joining the team. Today, our team proudly serves hundreds of homes in the North Phoenix area. Our commitment to trustworthy, professional and quality services have always been at the forefront of what we do. Give lumi a try!
For those who wanted to read about the longer story of how we started!
I was 15, my family and I had recently moved here from Minnesota. Back in Minny, I would mow lawns for my neighbors to make some extra cash. I longed for that feeling of working for myself, but ran into a problem – AZ doesn’t have much grass! I then found out that most places wouldn’t hire me due to my age, so I had to think out of the box. It was during this time that my dad told me I should look into cleaning windows. I immediately saw the potential, and started researching non-stop. I watched/listened to hundreds of hours of videos and podcasts in order to build the confidence to finally start!
Then I was finally having the big day with my first client. I was nervous, but quickly jumped into the flow of cleaning. The moment I got handed that $30 check, I was ecstatic! I thought to myself “Can I actually make this work?” Thankfully, the clients were great, and threw out a post on Next-door to help! Before long, word spread and I was helping multiple people a week. This was challenging, not only for me, but my mom! If I was lucky, she would drop me off at the jobs on her way to work in the morning. If I was unlucky, I’d have to walk, carrying my buckets and squeegees.
That year, 2022 was a great learning experience for me. It’s when I truly started taking it seriously, and dialing in how I can best service people. Quality, customer experience and reliability became three staples that I found out set me apart from my competition. Even though I was just 16, many homeowners opted to go with me for these three reasons. This focus has held true to this day.
Fast forward to current day, we have learned that it’s not just about money, it’s about the people. Providing a high quality, personable, and professional experience is what has allowed me to stand out from the rest. This is what has allowed Lumi to be the highest-reviewed company in the Cave Creek area, and hopefully soon, all of Phoenix.
While I hope to grow and help many, I will never lose track of the characteristics that initially got me here. Providing a high quality, personable, and professional experience is, and always will be the top priority. So take a chance, and give us a call. LUMI thrives on the pride we take in our work, and we eagerly await the opportunity to work with you.
