Cedar Lake business offers residential maintenance, cleanup

While the housing crisis has hurt many businesses, Kleen Sweep
is not among them. After many years of handling maintenance and
cleanup of commercial businesses, Thomas Lesh has expanded his
business to include residential cleanup.
"For years, we have taken care of businesses, handle graffiti,
power wash and repaint. And when a business moves out, we go in
and clean it up," said Paula Reno, the company's CFO. "So about
six months ago, we just decided to partner with investors and
banks that are foreclosing on properties to offer the service
residentially. Investors buy the home as is and we go in and
clean it up."
The condition of the homes varies, but Reno said the previous
owners always leave something behind.
"Nine out of 10 times there are things there that need
removing," Lesh said. "We take a truck, load it up, bring it
back here to sort and salvage."
Because the company is not in the resale business, they have
been making donations to families that have lost items, victims
of floods and fire and the Salvation Army.
"We don't really want to sell the items. We make our money doing
cleanup," Lesh said. "We have a huge building and thought that
instead of throwing it away, we would find people who need it.
We are getting all kinds of things that people need --
especially now in these hard times."
Crews move into the homes and handle everything from painting
and plumbing to general maintenance. Services include cleanup of
the property, removing old furniture or garbage, pressure
washing when needed and hiring professionals to repair dry wall,
carpentry and landscaping.
"Some of the houses are in pretty bad shape and some are not,"
Lesh said. "But this end of the business has been pretty good."
Kleen Sweep even has a sister company, Astro Realty, to handle
the sale of the homes once they are in good shape.
"We still offer all of our commercial services, like parking lot
sweeping, snow removal, lawn care and more, "Reno said. "And
with this, we're really able to help people who are losing or
who have lost their homes."
