Family Business

Three generations and counting...

Family-owned for three generations, Howard Smith Sr. and his wife Eloise launched HSJ Services in 1963. The couple created their company to provide the highest quality commercial cleaning service for industrial buildings and other businesses in the Snyder area at an affordable price.

An ambitious entrepreneur, Howard owned a vending machine business and a soda machine business in addition to his commercial cleaning company.

Howard had only a fourth-grade education when he founded HSJ Services. He couldn’t read or write but instilled in his children a strong work ethic and an enterprising spirit. These values and a mission to provide exceptional customer service enabled the company to grow and diversify into the thriving business it is today.

To ensure each job was completed thoroughly and meticulously, Howard taught his children to turn around and look back after cleaning every space because the last thing they’d see is also the first thing the clients will see when they walk in.

When Howard and Eloise retired in 1991, they passed management and ownership of the professional commercial cleaning service to their son Herman. When Herman retired in 2016, he passed the business to his son, Dashay Smith.

In the beginning, unpaid family members performed the services, including regular cleanings, window washings, and Sunday “check-ups” to re-clean any office space that had been occupied over the weekend.

Howard Smith’s philosophy and unwavering integrity still power HSJ Services' commercial cleaning services today. Our company is three generations-strong, with more than five decades of learning, skills, and experience. As a family business, we treat our clients like family, too, handling every single request with the utmost care and professionalism.
