JB's Window Cleaning Service to Open Soon

James Bedard will be opening JB’s Window Cleaning Service very soon. He plans to open the business in mid March depending on how the weather cooperates.

James is originally from Absarokee, MT. He moved away for a few years and found his way back to the area in 2000, when he moved to Dickinson. James came back because he likes it here. He feels he has been blessed by the people here in Dickinson and wants to give back to the community.

James perfected his skills at the West River Community Center which is what gave him the inspiration to open his own window cleaning business. He has been able to gain further knowledge from a friend who provides similar services on the East Coast. James is excited to provide quality, affordable and personalized services for his clients! He plans to serve Dickinson as well as outlying areas.

JB’s Window Cleaning Service is available for commercial and residential window cleaning. Schedule an appointment or get a free estimate by calling James at (701) 590-3504 or email bedard7757@hotmail.com.
