About Maids by Trade
The Maids by Trade franchise is built on a spotless reputation. The success of the brand is driven by a commitment to remaining a green company with a family-like work environment. At Maids by Trade, it's not just about a great system or cleaning method, it's about the consistent effort to keep our client's property safe, clean, and tidy while providing an ethical and dependable business model for our franchise investors under a brand that's known for excellence in service and reliability.
Values & History
The Maids by Trade story began with founder Fortino Barajas, a dedicated family man who started his initial cleaning service from his own garage in the Portland, OR area back in 1997. The success of the business changed his life, prompting him to share his success with others interested in running their own business while providing a quality service for their communities. Maids by Trade began franchising in 2016 and now operates in five locations across the western US, with its home office located in Portland.
Industry Performance
The home cleaning service industry brought in over $943 million in revenue nationally over 2019, growing over 2.8% from 2014 to 2019. With the nation's aging population enjoying a higher disposable income, revenue is expected to continually rise within the industry, offering recurring revenue through repeat customers for the most trusted brands.

Ideal Candidate & Qualifications
Independent, hard-working individuals make the best Maids by Trade franchise owners. Those with a management or business background will be best equipped for the challenge that comes with operating and growing a business. Outgoing, self-motivated leaders dedicated to providing dependable services for their clients are preferred.
Training & Support
The Maids by Trade training program covers all aspects of business operation for new franchisees. General safety, cleaning techniques and methods, sales tactics, quality control, and much more are all included in the training, which takes place at the company's headquarters in Portland, OR. Eco-responsibility is a large part of our business model, so this plays a role in the training program as well, with franchisees getting up-to-date knowledge on the best industry standards for healthy cleaning practices and the latest green technology and techniques.
