The Guptills’ History in the Commercial Cleaning Business
1980’s
In the early 1980’s Lauris Guptill established Valley Cleaning Service, a family run janitorial service in the Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia. They served Digby to Windsor, and eventually select clients in Halifax and Dartmouth.
1990’s
Lauris eventually sold Valley Cleaning Services, and started a new janitorial business, Alpha Cleaning Services, in the early 1990’s, mentoring his daughter Tara through the process. Lauris was keen to ensure his values for quality customer service and treating staff like family were passed on.
2005 - Present
Lauris passed the family torch to Tara (also a successful Realtor), who runs the business with the philosophy that her father instilled, investing in their people to provide exceptional service: ‘Quality Service. Quality People.’
