A Brief History
Alpha Exterior Solutions, founded in 2021 by James Kastelein, has rapidly become a trusted exterior cleaning partner to homeowners and businesses in Richmond, Virginia, and the surrounding communities. James's entrepreneurial journey began at the age of 10 with a lawn mower and a wagon – a business that quickly grew into a full-service landscaping and lawn care operation that he sold in 2020. With over a decade of experience in the home service industry as a foundation, James launched Alpha Exterior Solutions, with a passion for seeing the exteriors of homes and businesses visibly transformed into cleaner, safer, and more enjoyable environments.
