Brad's Powerwashing & Window Washing was started in the summer of 2020. As the founder, Brad Forrest, was in his Sophomore year of college at UMass Amherst, the school closed down due to Covid. During the following summer, there were few internship opportunities available since so many companies were forced to shut down. Due to the lack of job opportunities, Brad decided to start his own business, running it part time throughout the summer while taking courses online. The following summers he continued to run the business part time even after graduating in 2022 and taking a full-time job. In the summer of 2023, he took the business full-time and it continues to serve Central MA with power washing, window washing, and gutter cleaning services.
