Rooted in Family, Growing Through Community
At Merry Maids of Pensacola, our story is built on service, dedication, and a deep respect for those who serve our country. Our owner, Fred Surgeon, has been a lifelong supporter of veterans, proudly working to create employment opportunities for former service members through various hiring initiatives across his businesses. As part of that commitment, we also offer military discounts to the families we serve in Pensacola, a community where the spirit of service runs deep.
Fred purchased the Pensacola Merry Maids office after it had been successfully operated as a franchise location, expanding his family of businesses with the same core values that have defined his career: family, opportunity, and giving back. As a minority business owner and North Carolina A&T State University graduate, Fred has built companies rooted in community support, environmental responsibility, and respect for tradition.
Our Pensacola office, along with all our sister locations, is proudly guided by Saddie Lowry, whose over 20 years of Merry Maids experience help ensure every customer receives trusted care, personal attention, and excellence in every home we clean.
Giving Back Through Every Home and Every Heart
Merry Maids of Pensacola is proud to be part of the Sweet Valley Ranch Gives Back Program, founded by Fred and Anita Surgeon in 2021. Through Sweet Valley Ranch, a nationally recognized 300-acre working farm home to Dinosaur World and more than 350 animals from five continents, our team has helped raise over $220,000 for charitable causes, including national partnerships like Habitat for Humanity. Sweet Valley Ranch welcomes over 100,000 visitors annually and reflects our passion for family, community, and giving back.
Our commitment to environmental stewardship is also reflected in Fred’s leadership in safely rehoming over 2,000 iguanas after they were outlawed in Florida, a project that speaks to our broader respect for nature and responsibility.
As a thank you to the families we serve, Pensacola customers enjoy exclusive discounts on Sweet Valley Ranch attractions and Farmhouse Retreat lodging, offering a unique way to explore and reconnect with nature.
At Merry Maids of Pensacola, we do more than just clean homes; we lift communities, honor service, and bring care and commitment into every home we touch.
