Cleaner Windows Coming to Area as Grafs Become New Owners of Fish Window Cleaning

America’s largest window cleaning company has arrived with the opening of a new franchise location at 188 S. Northwest Hwy., Ste. 203A, serving Crystal Lake, Lake in the Hills, Algonquin, Barrington, Cary, Fox River Grove, Dundee, Inverness, Palatine, Lake Zurich, Deer Park, and Wauconda, Ill.

This Fish Window Cleaning® location is owned by Diana and Walter “Butch” Graf.  Diana has a B.S. Degree in Accounting and General Business from Purdue University. Her work experience includes public sector (as school district business manager) and private (manufacturing, retail, professional employer organization). Butch has a B.S. Degree in Nautical Science from Kings Point Academy. He has spent over 30 years on cargo ships as a merchant marine, attaining the position of Captain.

“Thirty-five years in the service industry gives our franchise owners a wealth of knowledge and experience from which to draw.  Rather than start from scratch, Diana and Butch have the benefit of owning a business that offers proven methods, training, a nationally recognizable business name, and uniformity,” said Nathan Merrick, vice president of franchise development.  “Their wealth of business experience partnered with their passion and enthusiasm is sure to make their business successful.”

To prepare for the new business, the Grafs completed multiple weeks of training in the Cary area and at Fish Window Cleaning® headquarters in St. Louis, Mo. The Grafs are currently hiring and accepting applications.

“Glass is everywhere, and someone has to clean it,” said Diana. “I look forward to meeting my residential and commercial neighbors and becoming the top, reliable provider for window cleaning needs.”
