Memorial Day Weekend: A Time for Gratitude, Community, and Taking Care of Home

Memorial Day is often seen as the unofficial start of summer here in the Pacific Northwest. It’s a time when families gather, grills get fired up, and many of us finally get a chance to slow down and enjoy the longer days.

But it’s also a moment to reflect and appreciate the people and communities around us — including the neighbors, clients, and families who continue to support local small businesses like ours.

At Mr. Clean Fix LLC, we’ve been fortunate to work with so many homeowners over the years on projects big and small. From simple repairs to full remodels, every job has been part of building something we’re proud of — not just homes, but relationships in the community.

As we move into summer, it’s also when homeowners start noticing the little things:

  • Decks that need repair after winter

  • Fences that have shifted or weathered

  • Interior projects that finally rise to the top of the list

  • Bathrooms, flooring, or trim that could use an update

  • Small repairs that have been waiting for “someday”

Summer is often the best time to take care of those projects, both for comfort and timing.

A Small Way to Say Thank You

To show appreciation for our past clients and community support, we’re offering a Memorial Day Appreciation Special: 10% off labor on projects booked through May 31st.

This isn’t about a big sale — it’s simply a thank-you for trusting us with your homes and for supporting a small, local business that truly values its customers.

If you’ve been thinking about a project, this is a great time to reach out and get it on the schedule before the summer fills up.

You can contact us anytime through our website or simply reply to this post:

From all of us at Mr. Clean Fix, we hope you have a safe, meaningful, and restful Memorial Day weekend.

Community First: Our New Referral Approach

Referrals are changing.

People don’t make decisions the same way they used to — and honestly, that’s not a bad thing. Homeowners want time to think, space to plan, and zero pressure along the way.

At Mr. Clean Fix, we believe a referral shouldn’t come with expectations or awkward follow-ups. It should simply be about trust — and that trust deserves to be appreciated, whether a project moves forward immediately or not.

That’s why we redesigned our referral program to reward effort, not just signed contracts.

Why We Rethought Referrals

Word-of-mouth has always been the backbone of local businesses like ours. When someone shares our name with a friend or neighbor, they’re putting their trust on the line — and that matters.

But not every referral turns into a project right away. Some homeowners are still gathering ideas, comparing options, or waiting for the right time. We don’t believe that makes the referral any less valuable.

So instead of a traditional referral program that only rewards completed jobs, we built something more realistic, flexible, and fair.

Introducing Our Community Appreciation Drawing

Twice a year, we hold a Community Appreciation Drawing to thank the people who help keep our business growing — even in small ways.

🏆 Grand Prize (1 Winner)

  • $250 gift card to a local small business

  • $250 credit toward a future Mr. Clean Fix project

🎁 Secondary Winners (3–5 Winners)

  • Two $50 gas cards

  • Additional gift cards ranging from $15–$50
    (local restaurants, shops, and everyday essentials)

The number of secondary winners depends on total participation — the more entries, the more winners we draw.

How to Earn Entries (No Pressure, Ever)

We keep this simple and transparent.

✅ 1 Entry — Pass Along Our Name

Earn one entry when:

  • You share our name with someone who may need our services

  • OR you send us their name and contact information with permission

No obligation. No follow-ups required.

🤝 2 Entries — Scheduled Consultation

Earn two entries when:

  • Your referral schedules and completes a consultation or estimate

This rewards real intent — even if they decide to wait or go another direction.

🛠️ 3 Entries — Project on the Books

Earn three entries when:

  • Your referral books a project and gets on the schedule

Entries stack, meaning one referral can earn up to six total entries if they move through each step.

Why This Approach Works

This program was designed to respect everyone involved.

  • It removes pressure from the person making the referral

  • It honors trust, not just transactions

  • It gives more people a chance to win

  • It supports other local small businesses

  • It allows us to give back in a way we can sustain long-term

Most importantly, it keeps relationships front and center.

When Are the Drawings Held?

We hold the drawings twice a year:

  • June

  • December

Winners are announced publicly (with permission), and prizes are awarded shortly after each drawing.

Want to Participate?

If you’ve ever:

  • Shared our name

  • Encouraged someone to reach out

  • Talked about a project we helped with

…you’re already doing what this program is built around.

To earn entries, you can:

  • Message us directly

  • Submit a referral through our website

  • Have your referral mention your name when they contact us

That’s it.

Thank You for Being Part of Our Community

We’re grateful for the trust our customers and neighbors place in us. This referral program is just one small way we can say thank you — thoughtfully, intentionally, and community-first.
