Our Story
Indy Fiber and Surface Cleaning was started in 2016 by a husband-and-wife team out of Indianapolis, IN, hence the name Indy Fiber and Surface Cleaning. Mayrena King is the controlling and managing partner with over 10 years of experience in management, sales, and marketing, interestingly enough, in the field of IT. Mr. King possesses a law enforcement background and both owners possess master’s degrees. The husband-and-wife team has always had a desire to own their own business and after much research and thought, they decided to build a janitorial and flooring services company. Mayrena King’s background of management in the field of IT and her experience with clients that are highly dependent upon their technical systems, has allowed Mayrena to truly understand how to handle, take care of, and satisfy a client within a complex industry. Mayrena has found these skills to be highly transferable in the janitorial field. In 2016, an opportunity presented itself and Indy Fiber and Surface Cleaning moved to the Northwest Indiana area.
Our Mission & Vision
