My Story

My passion for window cleaning began long before I ever dreamed of owning a business. As a young boy, I would go to work with my dad, carrying a squeegee almost as big as me. While other kids were out playing, I was excited to be by his side, learning the craft of washing windows.

My dad worked hard his entire life. He did many things to provide for our family, but the one thing I remember most vividly was his window cleaning.

He never just cleaned glass — he taught me that every window told a story, and every customer deserved respect, honesty, and a job done right.

Those lessons became a foundation for my life.

My mom and dad both shaped me into the person I am today. Without their influence, love, and guidance, I wouldn't be where I am. They gave me more than skills — they instilled in me integrity, determination, and pride in my work.

Technically, I've been cleaning windows since 1989. In 2002, at just 18 years old, I officially turned that lifelong experience into a company of my own: Let The Light Shine Through LLC.

For over 22 years, I've carried on the tradition my dad started, with the same excitement I had as a child holding that first squeegee.

This isn't just a business — it's a legacy. Every time I clean a window, I think of my dad, and I think of the promise I made to myself: to let every window shine like never before, and to treat every customer the way I would want my own family to be treated.

Previous Experience and Personal History

Allen’s professional background in the window cleaning industry stretches back much further than the official incorporation date of his business. Technically, Allen has been actively cleaning windows since 1989. Long before he ever envisioned himself as an entrepreneur or a business owner, he was a young boy accompanying his father to job sites.

During those formative years, while other children were out playing games, Allen was eager to stand by his father's side, carrying a squeegee that was almost as big as he was. It was during these early days that Allen learned the intricate mechanics and craft of washing glass, developing a hands-on familiarity with the industry that few modern business owners can match.

Allen’s father worked tirelessly throughout his life to provide for the family, but it was his window cleaning work that left the most vivid and permanent impression on Allen. From his father, Allen learned a profound philosophy that still guides his business today: window cleaning is never just about wiping down glass. His father taught him that every window tells a unique story, and every single customer deserves absolute respect, complete honesty, and a job executed perfectly the first time.

These early lessons became the unshakeable foundation for Allen’s life and career. Both his mother, the late Anita Marie Loftis, and his father deeply shaped Allen into the professional and individual he is today. Their collective love, guidance, and support instilled in him an unwavering sense of integrity, resilient determination, and an immense pride in his craftsmanship.

In 2002, at just 18 years old, Allen channeled this lifetime of early experiential training and personal drive into a formal corporate entity, officially launching Let the Light Shine Through LLC. For over 22 years, Allen has independently owned and operated the company, carrying on the proud tradition his father started decades prior. Every time Allen cleans a window today, he honors that legacy, fulfilling a personal promise to treat every client exactly how he would want his own family members to be treated.
