Cleaning Services in Stroudsburg, PA

Stroudsburg is the part of this market where cleaning looks like cleaning anywhere: real households on a standing appointment, offices and clinics that need somebody in after hours, rentals turning at the end of a lease. It is the county seat of Monroe County and the only traditional downtown in this area -- a wide, tree-lined Main Street with more than two dozen restaurants and nine art galleries along it, historically rich architecture, the county courthouse, Stroud Mall, and a stated trade population of about 250,000.

The borough itself holds about 5,900 people, but that number understates it badly. ZIP 18360 reaches across 84.7 square miles and roughly 30,100 residents, covering the borough plus parts of Stroud, Hamilton and Jackson Townships -- the most populous and largest-area ZIP in the county. Most of the households we clean in Stroudsburg are in that wider footprint rather than in the six blocks around Main Street.

It is also the market's medical and civic corridor. Lehigh Valley Hospital-Pocono employs about 2,000 people and St. Luke's Monroe Campus about 750, and county and Commonwealth offices add another 1,200 or so between them. Professional suites, medical and dental practices, restaurants and independent shops are the commercial work here, and most of them want us before opening or after closing rather than in front of customers.

Stroudsburg sits at 509 feet, immediately across the Brodhead Creek from East Stroudsburg, with Interstate 80, US 209, PA 191 and PA 611 all meeting nearby and the Delaware Water Gap about five miles south. Being adjacent to the anchor means there is no travel penalty here at all -- a Stroudsburg house and an East Stroudsburg house are the same stop on the same route.

This is a house cleaning and commercial cleaning page rather than a turnover page, and that is deliberate. The weekend-rental economy of this region is twelve to twenty-five miles out on the plateau. What Stroudsburg has is people who live here year-round, which is a different and steadier kind of work.
