The Owners

Steve Miller Lansing Window Cleaning

Steve Miller

Steve Miller has been involved with the window cleaning industry for over 35 years and has experience in all aspects of the window cleaning industry. He started as a teenager cleaning store-front windows and has worked to continually improve the quality of our service, standards, and safety.

Through the years Steve has worked to increase his knowledge of factors affecting the business and industry of window cleaning. He has used this knowledge to raise the levels of safety and professionalism industry wide.

For example, over 21 years ago, Steve was one of the founders of the International Window Cleaning Association, which formed in response to the need for a comprehensive and balanced safety standard for the window cleaning industry. This endeavor has resulted in the development of the ANSI/IWCA I-14 Window Cleaning Safety Standard, as well as the United States first window cleaning certification program and various other safety training programs.

In January of 2010 Steve received the Window Cleaning Network Award. The statement accompanying this award said:

“Steve Miller is an industry leader – not in the sense that he runs for office, but in the sense that he continually projects high professional standards throughout his involvement with the window cleaning industry…Steve has a history with the window cleaning industry as well. He helped organize the IWCA, he was one of the first US distributers of portable pure water systems for window cleaning. And he’s done much online to increase safety awareness in this industry…”


Steve Miller is or has been affiliated with many business & industry organizations including:

  • The Building Owners & Managers Association of Mid Michigan (Past President)
  • BOMA International
  • The Institute of Facility Management Association (IFMA)
  • The Scaffold Industry Association (SIA)
  • Michigan State Chamber of Commerce
  • Greater Lansing Chamber of Commerce
Lianne Miller Great Lakes Window Cleaning, Michigan

Lianne Miller

Lianne started cleaning windows part time in 1980 after returning from living in Switzerland and France for two years. Wedding photography, sign painting and window dressing were among the other business activities Lianne engaged in during the 1970s and 1980s. After buying out a competitor, window cleaning won out as the most steady income source. Steve and Lianne were married in 1985 and combined their experience to further expand and improve Great Lakes Window Cleaning.

Areas under Lianne's current supervision include: finance; system design and improvement, after the e-myth models; as well as all advertising, marketing and custom-made training and safety materials, which are designed in-house. Lianne still enjoys photography and took most photos for this website. She is also a self-proclaimed seminar and education junkie. She never saw a problem she didn't want to fix and rarely saw a subject she didn't want to learn about.

"We may currently be the premier full-service window cleaning company in the Lansing area and statewide,'" says Lianne. "But that doesn't stop us from trying to be even better tomorrow for you and our employees. We endeavor to create a positive company culture promoting excellence and generosity and delivering "world class" service that consistently exceeds our customers' expectations. We strive to make Lansing a brighter place one window at a time. We want to put a smile on your face with clean windows and stellar customer service."

Industry Involvement

In 1989, Steve and Lianne were two of the Founding Directors of the International Window Cleaning Association (IWCA) whose objectives include encouraging the highest ideals and standards in the window cleaning industry, to further training and education of those connected with the window cleaning industry and to further the reduction of accidents. Steve served as a corporate officer of the IWCA during it's formative years. Lianne served as Chairman of Seminars for the first International Window Cleaning convention ever, in Orlando, FL. Her seminar "How to Interview and Hire Exceptional Employees" became the most requested audio recording for the next decade from the hundreds of recorded IWCA Seminars. The IWCA now represents over 5000 window cleaners worldwide.

Great Lakes Window Cleaning is or or has benefited from memberships in various other industry associations such as the Scaffold Industry Association (SIA), The National Federation of Master Window & General Cleaners (U.K.), Professioinal Window Cleaners Association, The Greater Lansing Home Builder's Association, the Building Owner's and Manager's Association (BOMA) Past President - Lansing Chapter,  The Institute of Facility Management Association (IFMA), The International Window Cleaning Association (IWCA) (Past Corporate Officer), Michigan State Chamber of Commerce, amoung others.

Our active involvement in such associations not only keep us current on the regulations and improvements in window cleaning equipment, chemicals, and techniques; it keeps us in touch with the ever changing needs of our clients.

Every person that has done the job is at all times very professional. Thank you.
