My name is Jamie Hallman, and I own Hallman Window Washing in Mattawan, Michigan.  I started this business as a side hustle in 2018 to pay off debt and get my family in a better place financially. It quickly became a bit more than I anticipated. By 2020 I was making more money part-time washing windows than at my full-time university job. In March of 2022, I quit my full-time job and jumped in head first.

I had an amazing 2022. I have let the company grow organically from the beginning, and it’s the best decision I could have made. No loans (other than for my van), and I work out of my home, so no rent (for now).  I built the business on Facebook (Meta) and jumped on Google in 2020. I have just added high interior dusting, windows, and soft house washing. I love being outside and meeting new people daily. For now, I’m solo; someday, I’ll add crews and maybe really blow this thing up, but I’m enjoying the simplicity and less stress of being on my own.
