Our Story

Two Owners. One Standard.

Alex and Mason McKissick built Lux Lavare from nothing in 2025. No franchise, no investors, no shortcuts. Just two Fort Wayne natives doing exterior cleaning the way it should be done.

Owner on Site
No Crews · Just Owners

That's literally Alex.

When we say "owner-operated," this is what it means. The guy on the roof in this clip is one of the two owners of Lux Lavare — not a hired hand, not a contractor we found last week. When you book a Lux Lavare job, you get an owner on your property. Every time.

Equipment matters too. The trailer in the opening frame is ours: 225-gallon water tank, BPX-25 softwash system, commercial pressure washer, dual hose reels. Real gear for real work.

Why We Started

Fort Wayne homeowners deserve better than what most of the industry offers. We watched companies show up with rented equipment, cut corners on chemicals, and damage siding because they pressure-washed surfaces that should've been soft-washed. We watched commercial properties go months without their dumpster pads getting cleaned because the local options weren't reliable.

We thought we could do it better. So we did.

Our Approach

Every job has an owner on it. Alex handles sales, marketing, estimates, and admin. Mason runs the field — every wash, every truck, every customer interaction at the property. There's no "we'll send a crew." The crew is us.

We invest in real equipment because the right tools do better work. Commercial 8GPM pressure washers, professional softwash systems, hot water capability, and the right chemicals for each surface. The difference shows in the result.

What We Believe

  • Owner-operated means owners on site. Not subcontracted crews. Not new hires we just trained yesterday.
  • The right method beats the highest PSI. Pressure washing a roof voids your warranty. Soft washing a driveway leaves it dirty. Each surface gets what it actually needs.
  • Same-day response is the standard, not a feature. If we say we'll quote it today, we quote it today.
  • Local matters. We live in Fort Wayne. We pay Fort Wayne taxes. Our reputation is something we have to keep building because our kids go to school here.

Licensed & Insured

Lux Lavare LLC is registered with the State of Indiana and operates with $1M / $2M general liability coverage through Markel. We can name commercial customers as additional insured on our COI when required.

Where We Work

Fort Wayne is home — but our service radius reaches one hour in every direction. That's 21 cities and towns across 11+ Northeast Indiana counties, plus Defiance, Ohio. From Aboite to Angola, Decatur to Defiance, Roanoke to Warsaw, Auburn to Albion.

If you're within an hour of Fort Wayne, we'll service your property. Small travel fee may apply for jobs outside the immediate Fort Wayne metro — we keep it reasonable and pass route-batching savings along.

See our full service area map for the complete list.

Our Equipment

For the gear-curious: We run a CRX 8GPM cold-water gear-drive pressure washer, a BPX-25 8GPM softwash system, a General Pump 20-inch Hammerhead surface cleaner, a 225-gallon water tank, and a Mix Master 4 manifold for chemical mixing. Real commercial equipment, not the rental-grade stuff most quick-start operations bring.

The Promise

If we don't do the work right, we come back and fix it. No questions, no charge. That's how we'd want to be treated, and that's how we treat every customer — Fort Wayne, Angola, Defiance, or anywhere in between.
