Even Stronger Together: Fresh Sweeps Management Team’s Story
Many local home services companies are founded by an owner with a strong vision for service. Yet, to succeed in an environment where local conditions, building codes, industry practices and financial considerations are in flux takes a broad perspective. One that comes from a complementary team of leaders who bring their unique talents to the table.
Fresh Sweeps, as with the company that inspired its creation, Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning, is an example of finding the right people. And then allowing them to work individually and collaboratively to solve longstanding problems in the chimney sweeping, air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning industries. Many of these had previously been assumed to be “the way things are” both by homeowners and commercial property owners.
