Hi, I’m Chris Hill — Owner & Operator of Riverview Pressure Cleaning
I’m Chris Hill, the owner and operator of Riverview Pressure Cleaning, proudly serving Riverview, Lithia, Apollo Beach, Valrico and the surrounding communities since March 2013. What started as a slow, one-man operation has grown into a dependable local business built on consistency, experience, and long-term customer relationships.
My Story
In 2006, I felt stuck. My career wasn’t moving forward, and as a single dad, I wanted more stability and opportunity for both myself and my son. Education had always been emphasized in my family, so I made a big decision — I sold my condo, moved to Gainesville, and went back to school with the goal of attending the University of Florida.
After two years at community college, I was accepted into UF on my first attempt and graduated in 2011 with a Bachelor’s degree in Landscape and Nursery Management. That education gave me a strong foundation in plant health, exterior surfaces, and environmental care — knowledge that still benefits my work today.
After graduation, I worked with a few companies in the horticulture industry. While I gained valuable experience, none of those positions felt like the right long-term fit. I was working long hours, seven days a week, and still didn’t have the flexibility or financial security I was looking for.
Starting Riverview Pressure Cleaning
In late 2012, a friend shared his experience starting a pressure washing business. While the income was appealing, what really stood out was control over his schedule — time with family, flexibility, and independence. That conversation changed everything.
Using my tax return, I purchased a used SUV and a basic pressure washing setup. On March 26, 2013, I completed my very first job working for myself. In the early months, I continued learning hands-on, working alongside the same friend who helped me build skills, confidence, and marketing knowledge.
To make ends meet, I delivered pizza part-time in the evenings. Within two years, I was able to leave that job and focus entirely on Riverview Pressure Cleaning — earning more by my third year than I ever had in my previous career.
Growth Through Experience & Investment
In 2019, after six years in business, I made my first major investment in high-end professional equipment, significantly improving efficiency and results. Two years later, I upgraded again, and both investments paid off far beyond expectations.
As the business grew, I also invested in better technology for scheduling, reminders, and communication. In 2023, I transitioned to Housecall Pro, which dramatically improved the customer experience. By 2025, further online upgrades expanded our digital presence and made it easier than ever for customers to book and stay on schedule.
Where We Are Today
Today, Riverview Pressure Cleaning is a
locally owned, owner-operated business with over
12 years of hands-on experience. I personally handle every job, ensuring consistent quality, honest pricing, and reliable service. I’m incredibly proud of the business I’ve built and grateful for the customers who have trusted me year after year. I look forward to continuing to serve our community and keeping local homes looking their best for years to come.
