Company History
The Spark of Entrepreneurship
Chris Ciocca, President of Ciocca Cleaning & Restoration, has always had an entrepreneurial spirit.
As a young boy, he was drawn to innovation and motivated by the opportunity to earn. With his parents' encouragement, he turned that drive into action—mowing lawns, cleaning gutters, and taking on whatever jobs he could to meet customer needs and exceed expectations.
Early Career and Business Beginnings
After college, Chris accepted a full-time position with Lewis Bakery, a commercial bread supplier based in Fort Wayne, Indiana. As a sales representative, he gained valuable experience in the corporate world, but it didn’t take long to realize he wanted to build something of his own.
In June 1997, he launched his janitorial service while continuing to work at the bakery. It started part-time but laid the foundation for what would grow into a full-service cleaning and restoration company.
Growth and Expansion
In 2003, Chris introduced Xtreme Carpet Cleaning, expanding into residential and commercial floor care. By December 2006, he acquired GMP Cleaning & Restoration. A well-established company offering water and fire damage restoration, mold remediation, carpet cleaning, and air duct cleaning.
The three companies were merged under one name: Ciocca Cleaning & Restoration. Today, with more than 100 employees, the business serves a wide range of residential and commercial cleaning and restoration needs across Fort Wayne and Northeast Indiana.
A Grateful Outlook
"We thank God every day for our good fortune and appreciate every one of our individual customers for entrusting us with being part of their solution for cleaning and restoration," says Chris Ciocca.
With a strong foundation, a dedicated team, and a commitment to service, Ciocca Cleaning & Restoration continues to grow, always with the customer in mind.
