4Corners Window Cleaning

4Corners Window Cleaning is a home-based business operated solely by husband-and-wife duo Ronald and Keri Kirk. Since 2000, the pair has provided window cleaning and interior sanitation services to commercial and residential properties.

Ronald grew up learning the trade from his cousin James Satterfield, who owned a well-regarded window-cleaning business in the community. Ron worked with James for roughly fifteen years before branching out independently with a similar business model.

“I started cleaning commercially first,” Ron recalls. “We did a little commercial work, got the business rolling, and then went after houses because my commercial people wanted me to clean their house!”

Ron continued working independently for several years before meeting Keri through mutual friends. The couple married in 1999 and launched 4Corners Window Cleaning together just one year later.

Over the past two decades, their shared business has allowed them to maintain a uniquely flexible schedule and a strong work-life balance.

“This type of work has afforded us the ability to spend a lot of time with our family,” says Keri. “It is a family business, so our children were able to be with us a lot of the time.”

Despite being the largest cleaning service in the Jasper area, Ron has deliberately chosen to keep the business small. Unlike many growth-driven entrepreneurs, he has resisted expansion in favor of quality control and personal connection.

“I don’t want to let my customers down by having people in there that I don’t trust or that I don’t or that I don’t know,” Ron says.

Keri shares that same commitment to upholding the personal, high-quality service that has come to define 4Corners. Their decision to keep things close-knit has visibly impacted the Jasper community. Most of their clientele has come through word-of-mouth and personal recommendations, which Ron and Keri see as foundational to their success.

Faith also plays a central role in their lives and business. Ron’s Christian upbringing and the couple’s shared beliefs as Jehovah’s Witnesses inform how and why they work. Through their business, they’re able to support their ministry in a way that gives their work a deeper meaning.

Ron and Keri value consistency, loyalty, and integrity, and by all accounts, they don’t plan to slow down any time soon. 78
