About our Story

Russell and Payton bonded in university over rock climbing—and discovered their best work harnesses those vertical skills. What began as a part-time window & gutter side hustle has grown into Clear Ascent Home Solutions: a full-service, student owned and operated company delivering precision, trust, and heart. Insured and WSIB-certified, our team brings the same attention to detail on your home as on a challenging climb.
