From Grit to Growth: The Journey of a Woman-Owned Cleaning Business in Montana

Running a business in Montana isn’t for the faint of heart. The weather is rough, the economy can be unpredictable, and the competition is fierce. Now add being a woman in the cleaning and restoration industry—a space traditionally dominated by men—and it’s a whole different playing field.

But for over 10 years, Right Now Cleaning & Restoration has been showing up, standing strong, and getting the job done. As a woman-owned business, we’ve learned how to navigate every challenge with determination, resourcefulness, and a deep commitment to the people we serve.

More Than Just Cleaning

Right Now Cleaning isn’t just about spotless carpets or restoring water-damaged homes. It’s about building trust in our community, creating jobs, and showing other women—and girls—that they can run the show too.

We’ve worked hard to grow from a small cleaning crew into a full-service restoration company that tackles fire, smoke, water damage, pressure washing, and laser cleaning projects for homes, businesses, and everything in between. We’ve built relationships with property managers, homeowners, realtors, and other businesses who trust us to show up and deliver, no matter how big the mess.

The Power of Local Women-Owned Businesses

When you support a woman-owned local business, you’re doing more than hiring a service—you’re helping rewrite the rules. You’re investing in someone who has to work twice as hard to get half the recognition. You’re helping keep dollars in the local economy, funding jobs, and fueling dreams.

Montana women are tough, but we still face barriers—access to funding, outdated perceptions, and the constant pressure of doing more with less. That’s why every call, every review, and every referral matters.

Leading By Example

We don’t take shortcuts. We don’t cut corners. And we never forget where we started. Whether we’re cleaning soot from a kitchen fire or blasting away years of grime from a sidewalk, we do it with pride—and with a sense of purpose that runs deeper than just business.

We want young women in Butte, Helena, Bozeman, and beyond to see that it’s possible to build something of your own, even in a rugged industry. We’re not here just to survive—we’re here to lead, grow, and pave the way for more women to rise.

Support Women. Shop Local. Make It Count.
