The Christenson Story

Relationships contribute to success of Christenson Cleaning and Restoration

Businesses are built on relationships. Sometimes, that means family relationships.


Eric and his late wife, Cindy, began Christenson Cleaning and Restoration in 1983. Initially, the couple cleaned businesses on weekends to supplement their family’s income, but when they signed a large bank as a client, they saw the potential to serve businesses’ cleaning needs full time. Eric and Cindy gained clients by referral alone, and as word of their quality work spread, so did their services.


By 2003, the Christenson’s began offering carpet cleaning to the businesses where they already provided top-notch janitorial services. Through hard work and continuing education, they amassed a wealth of knowledge on carpeting and the best tools and techniques for cleaning it. This included purchasing a “truck mount,” a powerful piece of carpet-cleaning equipment mounted in a van. They also expanded their services to residential clients.

Charlie’s parents gave him his own janitorial account to run when he was just 16. After succeeding at that, he began managing crews and helping with administration. While a student at Central Community College, Charlie began helping more with running the business while his mother was battling cancer. After she passed away, he took over the whole operation at age 23.


Under Charlie’s leadership, the business grew to employ 85 workers, occupy a 4,000 ft commercial space, and open a new office in

Omaha in June of 2022. Charlie has brought a corporate structure to

the family business, while proudly upholding Eric and Cindy’s legacy

of quality and trust.
