You’ve Got Maids Corporate Office

You've Got Maids

You’ve Got Maids was founded in 2005 in Orlando, Florida, by husband and wife team Frank and Cynthia Berger. The couple had previously owned several Dominos Pizza franchises, but wanted to start a new business where they could sell franchises, rather than run one themselves.

The company operates a house cleaning/maid service franchise operation. From a single franchise, the company now has more than 50 franchise operations. A typical franchise is made up of approximately 40,000 qualified households. The initial franchise fee is just under $7,000. Each franchise offers free estimates and emphasizes a 52 point cleaning system that uses eco-friendly products.

You’ve Got Maids requires that their franchises put their employees through a criminal background check and be bonded and insured.
