About Us

Protection Pros Cleaning & Disinfecting Services is a family-owned business that opened in September 2020. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Erin and Randy Halvorson, owners of Lake Shore Services, a local landscaping business, saw a need for a safe and long-lasting disinfecting process in the community of Fergus Falls, MN and decided to take action in launching Protection Pros. After learning about the impact that this disinfection process was making on the pandemic in larger markets, like New Jersey, they decided to reach out to the distributor and begin the process of making this amazing product available in Fergus Falls and the surrounding area to help protect the community and keep businesses open.

In 2021, when demand for services increased, they expanded to the Fargo-Moorhead area. In 2023 they added commercial cleaning services as the demand for quality and reliable cleaning services increased in the area!

Erin and Randy married in 2018. Randy grew up in Starbuck, MN and moved to Fergus Falls in 1999. Erin grew up in Leonard, ND and graduated from Kindred High School. She graduated with a bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice from the University of North Dakota in 2002. They have a blended family of 4 children; Morgan, Cole, Shanda, and Brie. They welcomed their first grandchild, Sylas, in June 2021! In 2023 they became empty-nesters and decided to build a lake home in the Vergas, MN area and make that their permanent home.

What they love most about their job is the excitement of running their own Christian-based, family business that provides safety, health, and protection to their customers. They love meeting new people and enjoy supporting other small business owners! In their free time, they enjoy volunteering at church, being involved in different ministries, hanging out with their kids/grandchild, and traveling to see new places.
