Thirty Years of Experience
John Fister began working in the soft washing industry 30 years ago, starting out cleaning restaurant kitchen exhausts. After several years with a traveling soft washing company, he began a 23-year career with one company that included many roles, responsibilities and experiences.
With an eye to the future, John and his wife and partner Wendy started Gentle Pressure Roof and Exterior Cleaning in 2016. John’s extensive cleaning experience coupled with Wendy’s work history in administration, marketing and office accounting made a perfect formula for success.
