Window Genie : Matt Scullin on Building Window Genie Around Family

This owner testimonial introduces Matt Scullin, who has run Window Genie of Cleveland West since August 2020. Before franchising, he managed a golf course in Columbia Station, Ohio, working sixty to seventy hours across six or seven days a week just as his son Sunny turned one. In the video he explains that he knew he would never own that course, and that opening his own business was the only path to the flexibility and financial freedom he wanted for his young family. He describes why Window Genie stood out: the chance to offer several service verticals and serve the same customers multiple times a year. Scullin is candid about the trade-offs, recalling how his old job expected him to find a way in even when a child was sick, while ownership now lets him work from home, attend sporting events, and handle school pickups. He credits his wife Allison for supporting the demanding early months when getting the business up and running required long hours and real commitment. For Scullin, the most gratifying part of ownership is simple: you get out what you put in. He talks about the satisfaction of seeing his crew arrive happy, hearing customers praise the service, and knowing the work his team performs genuinely makes people feel good.
