In 1987, Patti Canterbury founded Merry Maids of Stark County with a simple yet powerful mission: to bring dependable, high-quality home-cleaning services to families just like yours. As a longtime resident of Stark County, she understood firsthand the importance of trust when inviting someone into your home. Seeing the need for trustworthy, professional help right here in our community inspired Patti to purchase a Merry Maids franchise — and to build a business based on care, reliability, and connection. 

Your local Merry Maids, serving Hartville, is now a 3rd-generation business with husband Bud, 2 daughters, Jennifer and Julie, and 2 granddaughters, Kaylee and Kelsey, learning to be business owners. Our family’s commitment to providing exceptional cleaning services remains at the heart of everything we do — a legacy of care that keeps our local community’s needs at the forefront. 

We are so very proud of the staff at Merry Maids, many of whom have been with us for years and are considered essential for their dedication to customer satisfaction. When inquiring more about us, you'll speak to one of them, Lucy. Lucy, with her many years of experience, specializes in meeting customers' needs and budgets. Allow Lucy to show you how Merry Maids can give you more time to do things that matter most to you and your family.

Our mornings begin with huddles with our cleaning teams over coffee and snacks, and we love sharing customers’ gratitude and praise for a job well done. With our “Worry Free Guarantee,” you can be sure your house will be cleaned the way you want it every time.
