About us
Barry’s Pro Cleaning was born out of exhaustion, gratitude, and a deep understanding of how a clean space can transform a person’s life. Our founders, Allie and Alpha Barry, first met while working in the healthcare industry. We were both logging 100+ hour weeks caring for sick, elderly, and hospice patients — pouring so much into others that there was little left for our own home, our goals, or even each other. Some weeks, the laundry piled high, dishes stacked up, and we felt buried under the guilt of a never-ending to-do list. Eventually, they decided to hire a weekly housecleaning service. It was life-changing. They began to look forward to Thursday evenings — walking in after a grueling shift to a home that smelled fresh, felt peaceful, and invited us to simply breathe. The stress lifted, and the guilt was replaced with a sense of calm. When Allie became pregnant and was placed on early maternity leave, the idea of a different life began to take shape. Alpha had often mentioned starting a cleaning business, drawing from his years of experience in hotel housekeeping and commercial cleaning. Still, shifting away from healthcare felt daunting… until we realized that this was more than cleaning — it was giving families the same gift of relief and peace that had once saved our own. With our baby on the way, they took a leap of faith. We traded in 100-hour weeks for a new purpose: helping others reclaim their time, restore their homes, and renew their sense of balance. And just like that, Barry’s Pro Cleaning was born — built with care, shaped by hard work, and inspired by the belief that a clean space is a happier place.
