GREEN GRADS

The UBC students began knocking on doors in Vancouver in 2006, asking homeowners if they wanted window washing or gutter cleaning, and providing an estimate on the spot. At the beginning, it was students carrying buckets, squeegees, and mops and amazingly enough, Vancouver homeowners took to the idea of having hard-working young people wash their home. The next summer, the UBC students went back to the previous year's window and gutter cleaning customers and did the washing again. By the third year, Green Grads Window and Gutter Cleaning added pressure washing, and the company was operating year-round by expanding across the Lower Mainland to serve Vancouver, Surrey, Burnaby, Richmond, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, New Westminster, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Maple Ridge, Langley, Delta, Ladner, Tsawwassen, and White Rock.
