Robert Hovanec was out getting some air when he noticed something nearly every home had in common: grime-covered fences weathered by time and neglect. Most people would keep walking. Robert went home and started researching power washers. Not long after, he bought one to test on his own fence.
Then came the real turning point—his brother was out of work. So Robert asked him if he wanted to team up. “And the rest is history,” he said.
“I’ve seen many businesses go under these past years,” he said. “But we’re still here—and we’re just getting started.”
Brothers in Business
Hov Bros. was born with grit, simplicity, and a shared drive to work hard. But stepping into entrepreneurship wasn’t smooth sailing.
“We’d get outbid by big-name companies,” Robert said. “And we’d never owned a business before.”
Still, they pushed forward with one goal: make every customer feel like family. That philosophy paid off in the form of word-of-mouth referrals and moments that still stick with Robert—like the day he waived a bill for a woman who was clearly going through a hard time.
“She didn’t have to pay,” he said. “She sent me a handwritten letter that hangs in my office. A reminder that we all need a little help sometimes.”
Clean Fences, Clear Mission
More than just a power washing service, Hov Bros. is building trust—one job at a time. “We treat everyone’s house as if it’s our own,” Robert shared. That level of care has become their signature, and it’s what separates them in a crowded space.
Even in a niche market, Robert believes in being transparent about their process and delivering the kind of “wow factor” customers can’t stop talking about. “When people see the work completed, their reaction says it all.”
