Company History

The VanderVlucht family has been providing commercial, industrial and window cleaning services in Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan for over 90 years. Ralph VanderVlucht started Holland Window Cleaning during the Great Depression in 1930. As the business expanded under the direction of Ralph VanderVlucht, Sr., into a comprehensive cleaning company, the name changed to Holland, Inc. to encompass all the new services. Furthermore a tradition of hard work and strong values was created, which the second, third and fourth generations of the family have embraced. Holland's current leadership, Kirk and Dan VanderVlucht, came into the company full time in the early 1980s. Kirk took over as President in 1992, from his brother, Ralph E. VanderVlucht, Jr. As a result, Dan VanderVlucht then took over as Vice President, from Kirk.

At Holland we believe that finding the right people and the right tools for the job are essential to our success and our customer's satisfaction. That is why we aspire to empower our employees. First and foremost, we search for the proper people. Then we invest in our employees with Job and safety training. We do our best to ensure that you get the right people working on your property. We search for the best tools in our industry and purchase state-of-the-art equipment to ensure that we are operating efficiently and to the highest level of service available anywhere.

Over the years, we have strived to continually re-invent ourselves. Our processes, equipment, technology and people have changed, but our commitment to our customers and our level of service have remained unchanged through the years. Every generation of our family has been taught the importance of building strong relationships with our customers and asking the right questions to find out the best way to meet our customer's needs. We take pride in the reputation that has been built over the last 90 years and we are currently taking the steps necessary to continue to build it for generations to come.
