Ahlea

Primarily raised in Dearborn, Ahlea frequently came to Northern Michigan during her youth to spend summers riding her horse and honing her natural creativity in the great outdoors. Feeling more comfortable in the north, she eventually decided to stay and finish her schooling here. It was during those last few years of high school when she met her future husband, and although they dated briefly, it would be 17 years and two very different paths before they would find each other again and build a life together with three amazing kids.

Ahlea often prefers peace and quiet, which is something she rarely gets these days. Her modest demeanor can often lead to flamboyance and laughter in the right company. Friendly gatherings are an excuse to be open and fun-loving. She is a knowledge seeker, and through a love for reading and various cultures, she’s become deeply interested in life outside of the United States. As a thoughtful person, Ahlea is accepting of all people and always tries to see the good in others.

Professionally, Ahlea is exacting and patient, focusing on quality above quantity. She tempers this desire for perfection by carrying a light-hearted personality that others find friendly and approachable. Over the past ten + years, she’s developed a knack for knowing what homeowners expect and how best to provide the services they need. As the company's leader, she has done remarkable things in a short amount of time to grow as a business and provide working opportunities for people she has come to know as friends.

West

I’ve called Northern Michigan home for as long as I can remember. My parents moved here when I was still young enough to wear more spaghetti sauce than I ate, and I grew up in the small town of Wolverine. After leaving at 20 to enlist in the Army, I eventually found my way back. Even after visiting 15 countries and living in three, few places compare to Michigan’s autumn horizons. This area has a beauty that’s hard to leave behind.

Outside of work, I jump between a wide mix of hobbies depending on the day. I enjoy camping and kayaking when I have the chance, and I love growing plants and giving away the harvest. Woodworking has been a passion since childhood—back when scrap wood was all I needed to craft an entire arsenal for adventures in the backyard forest. I also enjoy drawing, writing, DIY home projects, weight training, stretching a few times a week, and losing myself in a good book. I’m definitely all over the place with my interests, but I blame that on my ADD.When it comes to work, I’m a big believer in transparency. Most people meet the real me right away. Honesty and integrity were values my mom taught me early on, and the Army only strengthened them. I have a hard time saying no, which means I often end up helping clients with little tasks outside of cleaning—and I genuinely enjoy it.

I’d describe my work style as easygoing, professional, trustworthy, and always willing to help however I can. A few fun things people may not know about me: I once had a pet skunk named Bozho, and while he was awesome, I wouldn’t recommend skunk ownership unless you’re very attached to chewed furniture. My partner Ahlea and I are big animal lovers and became vegetarians after a philosophy class made me question whether I had a good reason to eat meat beyond “it tastes good.” We decided to try a new lifestyle together and never looked back. And finally, I absolutely love Halloween. Any chance to dress up or throw a Halloween party has my name written all over it. My favorite costume is Sam from Trick ’r Treat—yes, he drags around a blood-soaked burlap sack, but he’s still adorable.
