About Us

Our Origins, Our Values, Our People

Our Mission: Deliver worry-free, evidence-based green cleaning services to our residential and commercial clients.

We Built This Out of Need

Hi Neighbors,

We founded WellNest in 2016 to “innovate by setting a new standard of excellence.” Through our own experiences with local yet unreliable cleaning services, we saw a need for a service designed for families like ours — busy and active.

With two littles in tow, we set out to make it happen. From day one, WellNest has emphasized customer service, workforce advocacy, professional training programs, and modern technologies. We quickly became Northern Virginia’s leading cleaning services provider, winning many awards and accolades that proved our value. We grew from three part-time technicians and a single desk in a co-working space to nearly 50 full-time employees, an average employee tenure of 3+ years, a fleet of 16 vehicles, and residential and commercial clients all throughout Northern Virginia.

Our promise to our employees, our clients, and our community is to go above and beyond in maintaining the highest levels of clean.

We invite you to learn about WellNest Professional Cleaning. We would welcome the opportunity to partner with you to maintain cleaner spaces to live, work, and play.

Sincerely,

Phil & Nicole Harper

Parents, Business Owners, and Proud Northern Virginia Residents
