In the vibrant summer of 2017, freshly graduated high school friends Naythan Melle and Landen Glas embarked on an entrepreneurial journey. With the University on the horizon and the need for tuition funds, they ventured into the window cleaning business with enthusiasm, minimal capital, and no prior business experience. This humble beginning marked the birth of a business that was about to flourish beyond their wildest dreams.

Naythan and Landen's early business education came from the vast resources available online and the invaluable lessons learned through trial and error. Starting with cleaning windows for family, friends, and neighbors, they quickly expanded their clientele through positive word of mouth.

As both founders pursued business studies at the University of Regina, they skillfully applied their academic knowledge to the practical aspects of running their business. This period saw them acquiring the necessary licenses and insurance, expanding their services to include gutter and commercial cleaning, and extending their reach beyond White City to Regina and the surrounding areas.

Naythan Co-Owner
My name is Naythan Melle, and I am the Co-Owner of Boys Next Door Window Cleaning. I graduated from the University of Regina in 2023 with a Degree in Business Marketing and a certificate in Public Relations. I pride myself in being a driven, hard-working and motivated individual who enjoys new experiences. I have a knack for getting things done quickly and efficiently, and enjoy taking on new challenges both in my work and personal life. Some of my favorite things to do include playing guitar, riding my motorcycle, skateboarding, snowboarding and traveling. A fun fact about me: as of 2023, I have traveled to 17 countries and most recently jumped off the Mostar Bridge in Bosnia! (Look it up if you wanna see some craziness)
