Celebrating Local Entrepreneurs During Small Business Month
At the Fredericksburg Regional Chamber of Commerce, we’re proud to highlight the small businesses that keep our region thriving. Today, we’re excited to spotlight Nitty Gritty Cleaning Solutions, a trusted family-owned business making a big impact—one clean surface at a time.
Q. Tell us about your business. What do you offer, and how long have you been in business?
A. Nitty Gritty Cleaning Solutions is a family-owned exterior cleaning company proudly serving the Fredericksburg, Virginia area. The business was born from a simple idea: the region needed a service provider that was honest, responsive, and dependable.
Since then, the team has built a strong reputation rooted in quality, reliability, and outstanding customer service. They offer a wide range of residential and commercial services including:
-
Pressure Washing & Soft Washing
-
House Washing & Roof Cleaning
-
Gutter Cleaning
-
Deck & Fence Restoration
-
Concrete Cleaning
-
Landscape Maintenance (Mulching, Pruning, Flower Bed Cleanups)
Whether it’s boosting curb appeal or helping local businesses maintain a clean, professional appearance, Nitty Gritty delivers exceptional results with a personal touch.
Q. What’s a business decision you made that felt risky—but paid off?
A. Starting Nitty Gritty Cleaning Solutions was a major leap of faith. The owner funded the business entirely with personal savings and monthly earnings during its first two years—without loans or outside investment. While risky, it allowed full control over the business’s values, focus, and growth. That decision became the foundation for building a strong, loyal customer base—and a company grounded in integrity.
Q. What’s a common myth people believe about your industry?
A. Many people think pressure washing means blasting every surface with high pressure. But in reality, that can cause damage—especially to siding, wood, or roofing. Nitty Gritty uses a soft washing method, which combines low pressure with eco-friendly solutions to gently and effectively clean surfaces. It’s safer, more effective, and protects your property for the long haul.
Q. What’s your go-to move when you feel stuck or overwhelmed?
A. The owner takes a proactive, resourceful approach—turning to mentors, a personal support network, and ongoing research to find solutions. That mindset helps keep the business moving forward through any challenge.
Q. What’s something you wish more customers understood about what you do?
A. Hiring a professional like Nitty Gritty means you’re working with someone who’s insured, trained, and committed to protecting your property. It’s about more than just having the right tools—it’s about having the right expertise.
