About ServiceMaster of Greater Bridgeport

The ServiceMaster Company was founded in 1929 in the Chicago area by Marion E. Wade, a minor league ball player who went door-to-door selling mothproofing services to his neighbors out of the back of his station wagon.

In 1952, with the assistance of his partners, he added other services and developed the first national franchise system for heavy cleaning services in the country. His passion was to help families attain the American dream by owning their own business.

ServiceMaster of Greater Bridgeport is one of the beneficiaries of Wade's ideal. We have been serving Fairfield and New Haven Counties as a family business for over 20 years. The franchise, purchased by Paul and Mary Jane Plouffe in 1987, first operated out of their home. Their mission was to provide contract commercial cleaning services. Shortly thereafter, ServiceMaster became a vehicle to serve clients in the insurance industry by providing heavy and emergency clean-ups after fires, floods, smoke, storms and other types of disasters.

Since its founding, ServiceMaster of Greater Bridgeport continues to be recognized as one of the top 200 best performing franchises in the world serving over 18,000 customers and recording more than $26,000,000 in sales!
