Andre Kazimierski is the owner of Sophia’s Cleaning Service as well as the co-founder of 3rd Gen Painting and Remodeling. This year, both companies combined will do nearly $10 million in revenue and have grown to a second location in Madison, WI.
Born and raised in Brookfield, Andre’s entrepreneurial roots came from his mother Sophia, who established Sophia’s Cleaning in 1984. She was a passionate, dedicated and extremely hard-working mother. Andre started working in the business at a young age. He learned a lot from working with his mother, but most of all she taught him that the key to running a business with integrity is that you have to be a person with integrity.
After Sophia’s sudden diagnosis and passing from stage 4 Colon Cancer in 2013, Andre promised his mother that he’d keep her namesake cleaning service alive long after her death. He runs Sophia’s Cleaning both as a way to remember his mom and as a tribute to her commitment to running a business with integrity.
To this day, whether Andre’s crews are painting houses in Hinsdale or cleaning homes in Chicago, he dedicates a portion of every job to Cancer research in his mother’s name.
