-
Busy Bee Wash Co. is a veteran-owned and operated residential exterior cleaning organization with a charitable mission: to help people maintain their homes when age, illness, injury, caregiving responsibilities, or other significant life circumstances make it difficult or impossible for them to do the work themselves.
We provide professional exterior cleaning services to selected homeowners at no cost.
-
We're looking for people whose circumstances have made normal home maintenance difficult or unsafe.
This may include an elderly homeowner who can no longer safely perform exterior maintenance, someone recovering from a serious injury, a person undergoing treatment for a significant illness, or a family whose time and energy are consumed by caring for a seriously ill or injured loved one.
We are especially interested in situations where something significant has happened that has changed what a person or family is capable of managing.
-
No.
Financial hardship is not the primary focus of our program.
Busy Bee exists for people who have experienced circumstances that make maintaining their homes difficult or impossible. A family may have a stable income and still be overwhelmed by a child's serious illness. An older homeowner may be financially secure but physically unable to safely pressure wash their home
-
Every situation is different, but examples may include serious illness, unexpected injury, a child's medical emergency, becoming a full-time caregiver for a loved one, or age-related limitations that make exterior home maintenance unsafe.
We understand that life doesn't always fit neatly into categories. If you're unsure whether your situation qualifies, we encourage you to apply and tell us what you're going through.
This method is recommended by manufacturers and industry professionals because it cleans thoroughly while protecting your home from unnecessarily strong water pressure.
-
Yes.
You don't have to be the homeowner to nominate someone.
You may nominate a family member, friend, neighbor, coworker, caregiver, or someone else you believe could benefit from our assistance.
We may also accept referrals from organizations and professionals who work with people facing significant life circumstances.
-
Absolutely.
If your circumstances have made it difficult or impossible for you to maintain your home's exterior, you are welcome to submit a request yourself.
Asking for help isn't something to be embarrassed about. That's exactly why we're here.

No. Our charitable program focuses on exterior home cleaning.
Our goal is to relieve the physical burden of maintaining the outside of a home, including areas such as siding, driveways, sidewalks, patios, and other appropriate exterior surfaces.
-
Generally, no.
Busy Bee is focused on cleaning, not construction, repairs, remodeling, or major property improvements.
Our mission is to take the burden of exterior cleaning off someone's shoulders—not to provide general home repair assistance.
-
Submit a request through our Request Assistance form.
We'll ask you to explain the circumstances that have made it difficult or impossible to maintain the home. The more information you can provide about the situation, the better we can understand how Busy Bee may be able to help.
-
Our team reviews each request individually.
We consider the circumstances described, the homeowner's ability to safely perform the work themselves, the type of assistance requested, and whether the property and requested services are appropriate for our equipment and methods.
If we believe the request fits our mission and we're able to help, we'll contact you to discuss the next steps and schedule the work.
Submitting an application does not guarantee assistance.
-
No.
Every property is different. Certain surfaces, materials, conditions, heights, or other circumstances may make some areas unsuitable or unsafe for cleaning.
Before beginning work, we'll determine which services and areas can be safely addressed.
Our priority is helping without creating additional risk or damage.
-
Yes. Busy Bee Wash Co. is a fully registered and insured operation.
We take safety and professionalism seriously, both for the people we serve and for our team.
-
Apply anyway.
We don't expect every situation to fit neatly into a checklist.
Tell us what happened, how it has affected you or your family, and why maintaining your home has become difficult or impossible.
We'll review your circumstances and determine whether Busy Bee may be able to help.
-
Our program is primarily intended for residential homeowners, but we understand that housing situations can vary.
If you're unsure whether your situation or property qualifies, contact us or submit a request and explain your circumstances.
The owner of the property must consent to Busy Bee Wash Co.’s services.
