Launceston is a small city, and many would argue it would be nothing without its small businesses.
One such small business has recently changed ownership, with the new owner shaking up the industry, and leading the way for cleaning services in Launceston.
Frank Strochnetter, the new owner of Quick Fix Cleaning, provides roof and gutter cleaning, pressure & soft washing, and window cleaning to residential and commercial customers in and around Launceston.
“I’m a fully qualified plumber and roofer by trade,” Frank begins, laying the foundation of his transition to Quick Fix Cleaning.
Frank uses his experience as a professional roofer to guide his work, allowing him to offer roof inspections while doing cleaning and maintenance jobs, while also knowing how to work safely while on a roof.
Tired of the never-ending cycle of hard work with little personal gain, Frank decided to chart a new path.
“No matter how hard you work for someone else, you never get ahead,” he reflects.
The creation of Quick Fix Cleaning was his answer to this, a venture where “the harder you work, the more it pays off”.
In this newfound freedom, Frank found not only success but also a work-life balance that many seek but seldom find.
Quick Fix Cleaning is a symphony of services tailored to the needs of Launceston residents.
From intensive gutter cleaning to soft washing roofs with care, Frank’s approach is about thoroughness and prevention.
“We offer quite an intense clean,” he says, emphasizing their commitment to meticulous work that sets them apart from the rest.
Understanding the unique challenges of Tasmanian homes, Frank explains how often, “older homes… have a small roof leak” leading to issues like mould, a prevalent problem in Tasmanian Homes.
His solution? A combination of expertise in spotting these problems and an innovative cleaning method that not only removes but prevents future growth.
Frank’s dedication extends beyond the physical cleaning; he believes in educating his clients.
“We often post cleaning tips and tricks on our Facebook page,” he shares, demonstrating his commitment to empowering homeowners. And the vision for Quick Fix Cleaning? To expand beyond Launceston, with hopes to “get it down to Hobart and statewide in the future”.
What makes Launceston ideal for such a business? “Everyone knows everyone,” Frank points out, emphasizing the community’s interconnectedness. Most of his clients come from personal recommendations, a testament to the trust he has built with clients around town.
For those looking to break free from the “rat race” and start their own venture in Launceston, Frank offers a nugget of wisdom: “Work hard and just give it a good hot shot. I reckon it’s all worth it”.
It’s clear Frank’s success is as much about his hard work as it is about his passion for service and his community.
Through his work, Frank Strochnetter isn’t just running a business; he’s nurturing a legacy of quality, trust, and community engagement in Launceston.
