Window Genie of South Jacksonville is Back in Business

The local leader in home services re-opens, serving home and small business owners in the south Jacksonville area including St. Johns, Flemi

Window Genie announces the grand re-opening of its south Jacksonville location. Window Genie is a national home service franchise specializing in the difficult, dangerous and time-consuming tasks most can’t or won’t do themselves; window cleaning, window tinting, pressure washing, gutter cleaning and more. Window Genie of South Jacksonville is owned and operated by local man, Marcus Jackson. Window Genie officially re-opens on February 12th and services the south Jacksonville area including St. Johns, Fleming Island and Orange Park.

Before purchasing his Window Gene franchise, Jackson worked in the food industry for 20 years, most recently with a large national grocery chain. Having always dreamt of owning his own business, Jackson says, “the timing was finally right for my family and I to take this chance, and I was ready to make it happen for us.”

While considering various business opportunities, Jackson met with the local owner of a Molly Maid franchise in Jacksonville. Molly Maid is a sister company to Window Genie, both operating under ownership by Waco-based franchise holding company, Dwyer Group. He said, “the local Molly Maid owner here told me all about his experience working within Dwyer Group, and encouraged me to look at all the service businesses within the Neighborly family of brands.” Neighborly is the umbrella brand under which 13 Dwyer Group service brands operate: these include Window Genie, Mr. Rooter, Mr. Handyman, Mr. Electric, Five Star Painting, Glass Doctor, Grounds Guys, and more.

Jackson also worked closesly with a friend who encouraged this entrepreneurial spirit, and was connected to a man named Pete Wilson, who happens to be a Window Genie franchise partner in Cincinnati, OH. Jackson said, “I had already done some research on Window Genie, and liked that its multiple services equated to multiple revenue streams. Pete gave me a lot of great, genuine advice and I was able to put myself in his shoes and envision a successful, happy run as a Window Genie owner here in town. The support from Window Genie’s corporate staff, backed by a 24-year-old proven business model really sealed the deal for me. I’m excited and confident in my choice.”

Window Genie of South Jacksonville is officially open for business as of February 12th. All field technicians are fully trained, insured, bonded and have passed a background check.
