Student Suds was started in 2006 by Jason Ewart while completing his bachelors degree at the University of Alberta…
In his years at university, Jason tackled the summer job market as a franchisee of a national student painting company. Here, he won National Manager of the Year for outperforming in sales, production, and customer satisfaction. It’s also where he discovered his passion for business. Although, it was at a much younger age that it first knocked at his door:
“I never planned to start a business. It kind of chose me. In retrospect, I probably should have went to business school. Instead, I came out with a science degree majoring in Mathematics. If I were to give any advice to someone not sure of their career path, it would be to just do something, anything! It’s about getting involved and finding out where your talents lie. You will soon discover how to best create value in yourself and your community”.
Student Suds Story
In the summer of 2006, Student Suds was born! To customers, we provide exceptional and affordable window cleaning, gutter cleaning, and pressure washing services. And to students, we create fair and rewarding opportunities through good pay, no cost business and work experience. This gives our staff peace of mind and allows them to focus their attention on customer service. We recognize that the success of Student Suds is based on a solid reputation. Our goal is to fully satisfy both clients and student staff, and build a strong student brand in an industry where it was once lacking.
We now provide seasonal cleaning services to thousands of Edmonton, St Albert, and Sherwood Park homes and small businesses.
In 2012, 2014, and 2016, Student Suds successfully acquired small window cleaning companies. Like the climate of Alberta, that of the window cleaning industry is an ever changing one. With your help, we look forward to the continued growth of Student Suds.
