Every account is assigned a Field Service Management Team including an Account Manager and a Supervisor. This team is engaged and responsible for the field employees assigned to a location and works with the client directly to ensure we are meeting service expectations.

Our History
Joseph “Mac” McDonough and Barbara McDonough started Mac’s Cleaning from their home in 1966. Joe was an experienced business owner, known in the area for operating Mr Donuts. He often had his son Dave and his family help throughout the years. Through tenacity and hard work Mac and Marie maintained the business over several decades and raised their family.
Joe decided to retire in 1997 and Dave took over. He began focusing on expanding our service capabilities and strengthening our foundation. He describes this exciting period as a time of hard work, learning, and growth. Ultimately, he exceeded expectations and celebrated many milestones in our history with Mac before his passing in 2020
What started as 2 employees in the beginning has now grown to over 200 with a diverse set of clients far and wide across the tristate area. Through the years of growth, we’ve changed a lot to meet the needs of our growing team and customer base, but the legacy Mac and Barbara left is preserved.
Our strong family company vibe remains, but we’ve matured into a big service center with broad professional capabilities.
