When Al Askim started PHAT Window Cleaning in the summer of 2015 (named so because they service the regions of Peel, Halton, And Toronto), he had just been laid off from his corporate job.
Sensing a unique opportunity, Al returned to window cleaning—a trade he learned while attending university.
“I thought to myself, ‘this is the perfect time to go for it,’ and within a month, I had everything up and running,” said Askim in a recent phone call.
