Office Pride of Fort Myers-Cape Coral

Bill and Crystal Staggs are the owners of Office Pride Commercial Cleaning Services of Fort Myers-Cape Coral, an independently owned and operated commercial cleaning franchise.

They had already established a cleaning business, when in 2016, they discovered Office Pride and recognized that a franchise would give them an opportunity to grow and operate on a much larger scale. They were particularly pleased that Office Pride’s mission and core values closely mirrored their own value system. Says Bill, “As an aspiring Christian, Office Pride’s mission and core values align with me, as my values do with theirs.”

Bill Staggs is the general manager of the business. He previously worked in the construction industry, first as a carpenter’s apprentice and then as a journeyman electrician. During the latter part of his construction career, he helped build custom homes. He attended college and earned a four-year degree from an electrical trade school program. He holds an electrical journeyman’s license and is certified in biohazard cleanup.

“I understand buildings and how they are built, which helps me understand the layout and the flow of how to clean buildings most efficient and effective way,” Bill Staggs says.

Crystal Staggs previously worked in administration in the medical industry for most of her career. More recently, she has been the homeschooling mother of the Staggs’ five children.

Headquartered in Fort Myers on Metro Pkwy, Office Pride of Fort Myers-Cape Coral provides a full range of routine janitorial and commercial cleaning services to medical offices, manufacturing facilities, banks, churches, schools, multi-tenant buildings, government offices, professional offices and more in Charlotte, Lee and Collier Counties in Southwest Florida.

The franchise excels in floor care, including auto scrubbing floors, tile and grout cleaning, refinishing VCT and terrazzo floors, and carpet cleaning by encapsulation or steam. They offer specialty services such as window washing, post-construction cleans, and sanitization, disinfection and electrostatic spray treatments. Electrostatic sprayers are effective in disinfecting common areas, personal spaces and hard-to-reach corners and crevices, which is vital in fighting the spread of germs that cause COVID-19, flu and other respiratory illnesses.

While he aspires to run a profitable business, Staggs says that profit does not necessarily have be the most it can be – nor at the expense of others. His business philosophy is simple and follows the Golden Rule: “Treat others as you would want to be treated.”

The Staggs and their children enjoy a wide range of activities, such as camping and traveling as a family. Bill is a recreational firearms enthusiast, while Crystal and their oldest daughter cook and bake. Their second-oldest daughter participates heavily in mixed martial arts and their son loves “all things airplanes.” Their youngest two daughters are still “doing what they do and figuring it all out.”

Through the years, the Staggs have been active in their community, supporting the March of Dimes, the Teen Challenge program and other local charities. Bill is a member of the local chamber of commerce and various business networking groups and he also is an elder in their church.
