Leadership
Classic Commercial Services has a very experienced leadership team with over 45 years in the commercial cleaning industry. Our team will help build your new CCS business and provide ongoing training & support.
Justin Longenbach, son of Linda and Randy Longenbach, grew up in the cleaning industry. At the young age of 14, Justin starting working as a helper in the field during his summer break from school. This continued for several years until attending college. After graduating Auburn University for Business Management, Justin joined the CCS team in 2004. From 2004-2012, Justin did everything from outside/inside sales, job scheduling/management, staff management, scheduling, and customer service. In 2011, Justin took over as President/CEO of Classic Commercial Services.
Classic Cares
Giving back to the community is something we feel very strongly about, which is why we have created the Classic Cares Foundation™. Founded by Justin Longenbach in April 2012, this foundation will receive a portion of every single invoice that is generated by Classic Commercial Services at all of their (6) locations and make a donation to a local charity.
Every (4) months we will feature a new charity that will be receiving all donations for that period. Know of a great charity we should consider? Please contact us to let us know.
I spent a long time looking at existing and start-up businesses. One of the things I noticed is how every one of the businesses had a “story”. Most of the “stories” involved claims of how wonderful and profitable the business was. With further research, I discovered the opposite was true. The message from Justin at Classic Commercial Services was an honest, believable presentation that I was able to trust from the beginning. Realizing that this was a young franchise, I knew that it may not have the infrastructure of a larger company. I believe that is best part of this business. You will be dealing with the owners, staff, and other franchise owners who actually care about you and about the success of your business, not just the numbers.
Just over a year ago, I opened the South Florida location of Classic Commercial Services. Since this is a new start up and I have very little experience in the field, the help and support from Justin and his team has been invaluable. When Justin said call anytime, he meant it. The contracts that are in place have helped grow my business and given us a great first year. I would never had been able to do this without the support of the Classic Commercial Services family.
