How Amistee Air Ducts Cleaning Built Their Business
Amistee: Building Michigan’s Leading Duct Cleaning Company with American Caddy Vac
Since opening in 2005, Amistee Air Duct Cleaning & Insulation has grown from a quality-focused Michigan startup into one of the most recognized duct cleaning companies in the country. Founded by Michigan State University graduates Mike McCowan and Steve Dickinson, Amistee built its name by doing the work differently — with trained technicians, clear communication, transparent pricing, and professional-grade truck-mounted equipment.
Today, Amistee serves residential, commercial, and industrial customers across Michigan, with locations in Novi, Burton, and Wayland. The company has become known for its highly trained team, thousands of five-star reviews, major commercial projects, and one of the strongest equipment-driven operations in the industry.
For Steve Dickinson and the Amistee team, American Caddy Vac has been part of that growth story for two decades.
The challenge
Amistee entered an industry where too many companies were relying on underpowered equipment and undertrained labor. From the beginning, the company wanted to separate itself by offering a higher level of service — one built around professional equipment, certified technicians, and results customers could see.
As the company grew, equipment reliability became more than a convenience. It became a foundation of the business. Amistee needed trucks that could support high-volume residential work, demanding commercial projects, and the expectations of a company known for doing things the right way.
Why Caddy Vac fit
American Caddy Vac gave Amistee the kind of truck-mounted performance needed to scale a serious duct cleaning operation. With powerful vacuum capability, dependable construction, and a design built specifically for duct cleaning professionals, Caddy Vac trucks helped Amistee keep pace with demand while maintaining the quality standards that built their reputation.
For a company that publicly emphasizes strong suction, professional-grade trucks, trained technicians, and consistent service, the Caddy Vac relationship fits naturally into the Amistee story.
The result
Amistee has grown into a Michigan market leader with a major residential footprint, a deep commercial portfolio, and a reputation backed by thousands of positive customer reviews. The company has purchased more than 25 American Caddy Vac trucks and continues to point to the relationship as part of its success.
From residential homes to large commercial and industrial buildings, Amistee’s story shows what happens when a company pairs strong business values with equipment built for the work.
