It all started in Boston when MaidPro founder, Mark Kushinsky, called a maid service to clean his home. Shocked by how high prices were, but wanting to regain valuable free time, Mark arrived home the day of the cleaning eager to see the results. The results were less than impressive.
After scheduling a cleaning with another, even more expensive company, Mark came home once again disappointed. And this time, they not only did a poor job of cleaning, they left his cat, Foof, locked in a bathroom without a litter box! Mark shared his experiences with close friend Richard Sparacio. That’s when they decided to come up with a solution for this problem, and MaidPro was born.
Since starting off in a 200-square-foot office in Boston’s historic Beacon Hill in 1991, MaidPro has quickly grown to more than 150 locations across the U.S. and Canada. Mark and Richard are proud to serve the thousands of loyal customers who have come to trust MaidPro to clean their homes, while making sure cats can always get to their litter boxes.

MaidPro has a dedicated staff of business coaches, each working with a limited number of franchisees. Our business coaches work with franchisees in a very personal way. There are no highly structured monthly calls. Business life just doesn't work like that. Sometimes you'll need to make a quick call out of the blue. Other times a text will suffice. There are times when you'll need a few hours to really discuss a situation. And business coaches are just that, coaches. Just as all professional sports players have a coach, business owners should too. Coaches work with you to improve your game. They provide advice and are that second set of eyes to keep your business moving forward.
MaidPro also has a help desk. If you need a quick question answered that's more general in nature, the help desk is a phone call or email away. Our help desk is open extended hours to provide you with answers when you need them.
In addition to the primary business coaches and help desk, MaidPro has a series of specialists. For example, we have a cleaning specialist that is probably the most knowledgeable person on the planet in terms of cleaning chemicals, tools and processes. Our marketing coaches are students of marketing. They have worked at highly regarded advertising agencies.
Whether it's your primary business coach, help desk staff, specialist or one of the founders, MaidPro's support is second to none.
MaidPro also has a 500+ page intranet with detailed documentation on all aspects of the business. There are training videos, recorded workshops and webinars, franchisee forums and more.
