The SOS Story

The SOS story is one of vision, ethics, and rapid growth. Founded in 1990 by Cindy Oldfield, SOS Corporation holds that a good business is run the same way as a strong family-with teamwork, commitment and integrity.

SOS picked up where Cindy's prior cleaning business left off. Cindy could see there was a gap in the marketplace for thorough, detailed final cleaning services on construction sites. General contractors could create beautiful buildings, but preparing the space perfectly for move-in was better served by cleaning specialists. This is where Cindy's meticulous eye and years of experience kicked in.

As a woman, it wasn't easy to break into the construction field. "A lot of people told me, 'You can't do this; you're a cleaning lady.'" Cindy laughs about it now. "That's all I needed to hear."

She went from builder to builder, persuading them to try her services. Word began to spread among contractors about a new company that brought their projects to perfection for move-in. When Cindy started to hear from supervisors, "You're the best thing we've ever seen out here," she knew she'd made her mark. She says now, "It's very easy to make men happy when you clean."

But that was just the beginning for SOS Corporation. Soon Cindy and her company became known for their labor services-supplying the extra hands and talent contractors need on a short-term basis. Cindy always has been and remains committed to working with unions to employ certified and properly compensated workers.

Finally, as SOS continued to grow, Cindy realized that demolition services would be a good fit for her team as well. Hiring expert project managers in this field and giving them the tools to do the job right has contributed to the company's growth and success.

SOS specializes in demolition and clean up in the most demanding settings, including occupied hospitals and laboratories, industrial and commercial spaces and high end tenant spaces. The company's roots in cleaning make them especially effective; their "clean as you go" demolition strategy ensures that other parts of an occupied building don't even know they're there.

Since 1992, the company has built its reputation on these three services-cleaning, labor and demolition. SOS Corporation's strength in these areas continues to fuel their expansion.
