Pacific Shine Window Cleaning

Pacific Shine Window Cleaning is a student-owned window-cleaning business founded by Lucas Froeming. We are located in Santa Cruz, California, and we offer a wide range of services, including interior and exterior window cleaning, gutter cleaning, solar panel cleaning, and cobweb removal. 

​

We started this company in early 2023. We saw a post on social media showcasing window cleaning, explaining that it was a good way to make money, so we bought some equipment and decided to try it out. Once we started advertising and getting our name out into the community through NextDoor, we started to get more calls, and business was picking up.

​

The next year, we started by getting shirts with our company name, then upgraded our equipment. We started advertising on NextDoor again and built up an even larger following on the platform. Business was successful, and we worked almost every day over the summer. Most days, we would start work at 9 a.m. and end as late as 8 p.m. 

​

For 2025, we decided to move our business over the hill from Los Gatos to Santa Cruz. Lucas hired his dad to come out and help him on jobs. Occasionally, his sister Lilly will tag along to help the team when needed. This year, we hope to grow this business even bigger and ideally, expand our company to 2 trucks and 2 sets of equipment.
