Professionally Speaking: MaidPro -- Premium House Cleaning
The Forum • September 19, 2001

Once again MaidPro, a company that prides itself in being the premier residential cleaning company, is ahead of the trend. Andy Berkowitz, co-owner of MaidPro, Greater West Palm Beach has been bringing her 18-month old Miniature Poodle, JoJo, to work with her since he was just a pup. Recently, JoJo went for his routine medical checkup at his veterinarian's office. Dr. Bill Sharpe, who is conveniently located next door to the MaidPro office (at 771 Village Blvd., Suite #201) noticed that JoJo had a serious congenital defect on his left rear leg that would require surgery. After the surgery, JoJo would have to remain with his leg in a cast for two weeks, stay on medication for a month to rebuild the muscle cartilage in his leg, and would need constant care with plenty of rest. Berkowitz was relieved that not only was she able to bring JoJo to work with her, but also that he is accustomed to the city and the constant flow of people coming and going in her office environment.

This is just one in a long line of firsts for MaidPro. They were the first company in the industry to offer their Service Providers a two-week extensive training period, known as MaidPro University. All employees must be bonded and insured, with detailed credit and background checks in order to obtain employment with the firm. For these reasons, MaidPro Service Providers receive a higher starting salary along with other perks versus the competition's employees.

MaidPro's advertising is fun and edgy -a far cry from the usual 'maid cleaning a home' seen by most of our competitors. According to Entrepreneur's Magazine, MaidPro is ranked #41 on the Top 50 New Franchises of the Year, and ranked #408 on Entrepreneur's Annual Franchise 500. Success Magazine awarded MaidPro the #27 ranking in their most recent Franchise Gold 200 report. MaidPro is the fastest growing residential cleaning service company nationwide, with 20 offices located ir 10 states and 190 cities. In Florida, the other MaidPro office locations are in Naples, Tampa and Miami.
