\nApril Fresh Cleaning celebrated 20 years in business this year by expanding its services into carpet and floor cleaning, as well as mold, water, fire and smoke damage mitigation.
\nThe company serves clients in Saratoga, Queensbury and Latham. The company is also seeking to open an office in Queensbury.
\nApril Fresh Cleaning specializes in commercial janitorial services, commercial and residential floor cleaning and upholstery cleaning.
\nApril Fresh Cleaning recently purchased a new Butler carpet cleaner. The van-powered system allows them to clean carpet, upholstery, tile and grout, and other stone flooring. They recently finished the certification classes for water, mold, fire and smoke remediation.
\nOwner April Weygand began the company as a sole proprietor. She held side jobs as a cleaner since she was a child.
\n\u201cI was cleaning houses by myself at age 13. I got my first client by myself at the age of 14. So, it was always something I was good at,\u201d she said.
\nWeygand went to be a college to be a teacher, but after teaching professionally she decided it was not what she wanted. She quit and took half a year off to solo hike the Appalachian Trail, stretching between Maine and Georgia. Weygand hiked the entire trail alone over the course of 6 months.
\nShe returned to Saratoga Springs in 1999 after the expedition to figure out what she wanted to do next.
\n\u201cWhen I moved back home, I knew I didn\u2019t want to teach again, but I didn\u2019t know what I wanted to do. I took a job cleaning an office just to help pay the bills, just to make my car payment while I figured out what I wanted to do,\u201d said Weygand.
\nThe part-time cleaning job turned into a full-time job, \u201cthen turned into a company simply out of necessity,\u201d she said. \u201cI had to hire people to help me and before I knew it, I was running a small business.\u201d
\nWeygand intentionally kept her business small while raising two children, so as to allow time with them. As her children grew into their teens, she decided to expand the services the company offered.
\nAs April Fresh Cleaning continues to grow its services and clientele, Weygand is looking for a new location.
\n\u201cWe\u2019ve completely outgrown the space we\u2019re currently in. Trying to find a location with an office and a garage attached for our truck and supply storage, that is somewhat close to downtown Saratoga, has been challenging,\u201d said Weygand.
\n\u201cOur first priority is finding a Saratoga location. Then we\u2019ll start looking for property for our Queensbury location, and after that, property for our Latham location,\u201d said Weygand.
\nApril Fresh Cleaning is always looking for new hires. An online job application can be found on the company\u2019s website, www.aprilfresh.com.
\nThe company can be reached at 518-258-7380.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
