Coastal Clarity Brings Pride & Hustle to Professional Window Cleaning

With a mixture of pride and good old-fashioned hustle, 20-year-old David Kunz turned a family chore into a thriving business called Coastal Clarity.

Coastal Clarity is a premier cleaning service based in San Diego, and it has carved out a niche for itself as a provider of high-quality and eco-friendly solutions. The business can trace its origins back to a humble beginning.

How it started

Kunz, the owner and founder of Coastal Clarity, was born in Cashiers, North Carolina, but spent much of his adolescent years in Redding, California. He started cleaning windows as a family chore, but that all changed when a neighbor noticed his work — and asked him to clean their window.

“They loved the work and, as soon as I realized there were people out there who would pay for me for window cleaning, it was game on,” Kunz said.

Kunz, who was in 10th grade at the time, began making flyers to pass out in his neighborhood. His business only grew from there.

“During junior year, I started working with another established business in the area to learn how to run a business from an owner’s point of view,” he said. “Because of this experience, I was able to grow both my business knowledge while boosting my actual cleaning skills.”

Kunz continued working on his window cleaning business through the summer after his senior year. When an opportunity came to move to San Diego, Kunz jumped at the chance.

For the first year-and-a-half of living in San Diego, Kunz used his pressure washing and window cleaning business as a side hustle. Over time, he was able to grow his clientele. And, now, Coastal Clarity has become his full-time job and his main source of income.

How it’s going

Years after its humble origins, Kunz’s Coastal Clarity business is well-known for being a quality and trusted cleaning service for both residential and commercial properties across San Diego.

The company provides a number of key services that are perfect for both coastal homes with stunning views and for San Diego County residents who care about the environment.

These services include professional window cleaning that can remove dirt, grime, and streaks; pressure washing for revitalizing exterior surfaces like sidewalks, driveways, decks, and siding; and solar panel cleaning to ensure that you’re getting the absolute best efficiency out of your panels.

Kunz notes that these services aren’t only aesthetic in nature. For example, regularly cleaning a solar panel helps it operate at peak performance and deliver the best energy output possible. Maintaining and cleaning exterior surfaces also can help extend their natural lifespan, saving property owners money in the long run.

“Ultimately, my goal is to create long-lasting clientele for a business that’s not going anywhere,” Kunz said. “I’m trying to put pride back into the industry.”

The Coastal Clarity Difference

There are a number of other aspects of Coastal Clarity that Kunz said are unique in the exterior cleaning business. And, they all come down to a deep respect for people, pets, and the planet.

For one, Coastal Clarity only uses eco-friendly products and cleaning techniques to ensure that no harm is done to the environment. These techniques are also completely safe for both pets and young children, meaning that your loved ones are prioritized here.

Kunz and his team also bring an incredible dedication to customer service to his work. Whether you’re looking for a one-off job or ongoing cleaning, the Coastal Clarity team treats every customer like family.

“I am committed to delivering exceptional results and taking industry-leading tools and techniques into every job that we do,” he said. “I treat every project that I handle with the care and service that it deserves, and I think my clients can see that clearly.”

The 20-year-old business owner isn’t done learning and evolving, either. Along with continuing to increase his skills and entrepreneurial knowledge, he’s also expanding the kinds of services he offers. For example, he received mentorship in professional Christmas light installation, and plans to add that to his portfolio when the holiday season comes around.
