Window-cleaning biz takes ‘a man’s hands, a woman’s eye’

By Fran Lyons

The slogan on Erik and Amanda Barcus’ business is “Clean by a man’s hands with a woman’s eye.”

Barcus Pros Window Services is a husband-and-wife team that adds new meaning to couples working together. Synchronized, precise and well-practiced in their approach, Erik works on windows outside while Amanda works inside. They communicate with hand signals and move in unison.

Detail-oriented and purposeful, they put their name on the line.

“One of the reasons we put our family name on our business is that it represents our integrity and commitment to the highest standard of service,” Erik Barcus said.

More than window and screen cleaning, they offer products including solar and bug screens. They build screened areas for the home such as enclosed porches.

“We build ‘shade rooms’ instead of sun rooms,” Barcus said.

Since moving to Maricopa from Texas, the couple, whose lives revolve around work, family and their church, have appreciated the friendly attitude, flexibility and uniqueness of the Maricopa lifestyle. They met while working in the corporate banking business, which they left to start Barcus Window Services in 2015.

When time permits, Erik Barcus can be seen riding his bike around town. He loves bicycles and began tinkering with “most things mechanical” when he was very young. He has a bike-repair business on the side.

“I see the potential in a bicycle for the best ride you’ve ever had,” he said. “I love riding my bike, and my goal is to have people enjoy their bike as I do mine.”
