Jayce and Teal Dempsey knew they wanted to build their window and roof cleaning business with a focus on providing service to the local community when they moved their family to Brightwood in 2018.

Jayce’s grandfather was from Sandy and had formerly served as sheriff in the community for more than ten years, so the move to the Mount Hood region from Michigan felt like a homecoming to the young couple.

Their family business, Mt. Squeegee, was started in the summer of 2018 and
is a fully licensed, insured and bonded cleaning company that offers a variety
of window and home exterior cleaning services.

“We’re going to be here in ten years when our kids graduate. We’re trying to
build long-term relationships,” Jayce said. “Our base is Boring to Timberline
Lodge.”

The couple built their business plan with their family in mind and don’t intend
to expand to a fleet of trucks.

“We like being a smaller company,” Dempsey said.

Mt. Squeegee provides window cleaning, gutter cleaning and moss removal
services with a focus on transparency and accountability to their customers.
They offer before-and-after photography for gutter cleaning services to
provide proof the job was properly completed.

Copies of the company’s insurance are provided to all customers and
Dempsey utilizes “soft washing,” a detergent-based moss removal system to
avoid damaging property or voiding roof or siding warranties. Harness and fall
protection systems are used to assure safe work practices.

“We try to eliminate any uncomfortable element for customers,” Dempsey
said. “We pride ourselves for being an established, insured business... not an
uninsured, doing it on the weekend operation.”

Dempsey offers free estimates with on-the-spot quotes. The business focuses
on residential properties but also offers services for commercial properties.

“I know we’re not the most experienced but feel we’re the most passionate.
We really care about what we do,” said Dempsey about the ethos of the
young company.
