LONGTIME AREA RESIDENT LIVES OUT LIFELONG DREAM AS OWNER OF WINDOW GENIE OF BETHESDA
In May, Window Genie brought its thriving home service business to Bethesda

Dan Diggs opened Window Genie of Bethesda in May. Providing services that include window cleaning, window tinting, pressure washing and more to homes and businesses in Chevy Chase, Bethesda and Potomac, Diggs provides a service that has earned Window Genie a reputation of excellence, recognized by industry experts like Entrepreneur Magazine, Angie’s List, Franchise Business Review and more.
With over 30 years of experience working in sales in the home improvement, home performance, energy efficiency and flooring industries, Diggs has long been aware of the multitude of benefits that home cleaning services can provide. Inspired by both this knowledge and a lifelong entrepreneurial passion, Diggs looked to leverage his decades of business experience to own a business of his own.
“I did exhaustive research on five franchises that appealed to me and came away convinced that Window Genie was the best fit for me,” said Diggs. “I felt comfortable with the level of support the corporate office would provide and liked the business model, which provides a service I knew from experience that so many homeowners stand to benefit from.”

As he looks forward to making a name for himself in the community through both the services he provides and the charitable impact he aims to have, Diggs sees a bright future ahead.

“Window Genie provided a pretty clear picture of what running the business would be like, and it’s proven to be pretty accurate,” said Diggs. “I feel that the consumers are often underserved by companies in this industry, and we aim to change that. The services we provide will never be replaced by technology, and they are things that make people more comfortable and happy in their homes. Window Genie connects with people in the neighborhoods it serves, building a strong referral base off the reputation that precedes it. That’s made Window Genie locations a success throughout the country and that’s a plan Window Genie of Bethesda will follow as well.”
