Rooted in Family, Growing Through Community
At Merry Maids of Aberdeen, we believe that a clean home is the foundation of a strong community. Our owner, Fred Surgeon, comes from a family where cleaning was not just a job, it was a legacy. His grandmother cleaned homes, his father cleaned commercial buildings while working as a schoolteacher, and Fred grew up riding alongside him, learning the value of hard work and service at an early age. That legacy inspired Fred to purchase his first Merry Maids office in Aberdeen in November 2012, laying the foundation for what would later grow into a family of eight Merry Maids locations.
Fred's roots run deep in Moore County. In addition to owning the Merry Maids office, Fred invested directly in the community by purchasing the building at 314 Fields Drive in Aberdeen, ensuring a permanent home for operations and local jobs. As a North Carolina A&T State University graduate and a proud minority business owner, Fred has committed his career to service through Merry Maids and his healthcare business, which provides vital inpatient residential care to at-risk youth in Moore County.
Our Aberdeen office also houses Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning and Mosquito Squad pest control services, allowing us to offer our customers bundled discounts on cleaning, carpet, and pest control. Aberdeen customers enjoy exclusive savings on Sweet Valley Ranch attractions and stays at Sweet Valley Ranch Farmhouse Retreats.
Our Aberdeen office and all our sister locations are proudly guided by Saddie Lowry, whose two decades of Merry Maids experience help ensure that every home we serve receives quality care and a personal touch.
Giving Back Through Every Home and Every Heart
Merry Maids of Aberdeen is proud to be part of the Sweet Valley Ranch Gives Back Program, founded by Fred and Anita Surgeon in 2021. With Sweet Valley Ranch, our team has helped raise over $220,000 for local charities, including more than $100,000 donated directly to Habitat for Humanity to help local families find safe, affordable housing.
Sweet Valley Ranch, a 300-acre working farm in Fayetteville, is also home to the corporate offices of our Merry Maids team. With attractions like Dinosaur World, 350 animals from five continents, and cozy Farmhouse Retreat cabins and tiny homes (all cleaned by our Merry Maids staff), the Ranch reflects our commitment to family, community, and excellence.
At Merry Maids of Aberdeen, we clean homes and help build stronger communities, one family at a time.
