Over 30 Years of Helping Local Communities Recover

When disasters strike homes and businesses throughout Reading, PA, having a trusted local restoration company can make all the difference. Since 1993, ServiceMaster Assured Cleaning has provided professional water, fire, mold, and reconstruction services across Berks County and surrounding communities, helping property owners recover quickly after unexpected damage. What began as a small family operation run out of a laundry room has grown into one of the region's most established restoration companies, serving customers throughout Reading, Lebanon, Schuylkill, Montgomery, and Chester counties.

Over the last three decades, ServiceMaster Assured Cleaning has remained committed to the same principles that guided the company from the beginning: putting people first and providing compassionate service during some of life's most difficult moments. Today, the company employs more than 25 restoration professionals, operates a fleet of industry vehicles, and maintains a full-service warehouse and reconstruction division. Despite that growth, the business continues to operate with the family values that have defined it since its founding.

How ServiceMaster Assured Cleaning Began Serving Reading, PA

The story of ServiceMaster Assured Cleaning began in December of 1993 when owner Skip Bell decided to pursue his dream of business ownership. After hearing about ServiceMaster while listening to the Paul Harvey Show, Skip left his accounting career and invested everything he had into opening a local franchise in Reading, Pennsylvania.

Skip and his wife, Laura, started the company with little more than determination and a yellow-painted family van. Their first office was located inside their laundry room, and Laura served as the company's first employee. During those early years, the couple balanced raising three children while building the business from the ground up. Skip spent his days performing restoration and cleaning work while meeting customers in the evenings, and Laura managed family responsibilities while helping operate the growing company.

Through hard work and dedication to customer service, the business steadily expanded. What started as a small operation eventually moved into a facility in Mt. Penn before growing into its current location in the heart of Berks County.

Why Family Values Continue to Shape the Company's Mission

Although ServiceMaster Assured Cleaning has expanded significantly over the past 30 years, it remains a family-owned business led by Skip and Laura Bell. The company's culture is built around treating customers with compassion and understanding during stressful situations.

Restoration emergencies often occur unexpectedly and leave homeowners overwhelmed. Whether responding to water damage, fire loss, or mold contamination, the team believes its responsibility goes beyond repairing structures. Their mission is to help people recover and make their homes better than they were before the disaster occurred.

This commitment to service extends to the smallest details. Team members understand that every customer situation is unique, and they strive to provide meaningful support throughout the restoration process. Compassion, professionalism, reliability, and genuine care continue to define the values that customers have come to expect from the company.
