Allen Bracket founded Dyna-Maids, Inc. while attending George Washington University in Washington, D.C., and in the ensuing 30 years he has grown it from that single location to multiple locations on the East Coast from South Florida to Boston. In recent years he extended the brand to include Dyna Handyman Services and now offers total home care services including home repair, renovation/construction, and moving services. These services are all managed by licensed General Contractors each having over 10 years’ experience in their local markets. With Dyna-Maids, Inc. Mr. Brackett removed the stigma associated with workers performing residential housekeeping and commercial janitorial services by redefining the roles men and women perform in the cleaning fields. First, he removed the gender bias associated with each respective industry by creating a workforce equally representing men and women and then creating a niche market by combining janitorial services and maid service into a unified commercial/residential housekeeping service with broad recognition for quality, consistency and integrity. Mr. Brackett’s slogan "When Someone’s in the Kitchen – It's Dyna!" caught the attention of the local press and then national media. Dyna-Maids, Inc. has been featured on major networks as a featured cleaning company during spring cleaning week, and the subsequent publicity helped propel Dyna-Maids, Inc. into many new markets. On the personnel side, his attention to and respect of ethnic and cultural diversity has opened the doors for Dyna-Maids, Inc. to work with a diverse group of nationalities, business groups, and physically/mentally challenged clients. He speaks Spanish and is fluent in sign language. Dyna-Maids, Inc. became the first in history to operate as a maid service operating under the chain of department stores in the mid-Atlantic region known as Woodward & Lothrop’s Department Stores. In 2000, Dyna-Maids, Inc. began working with a long term health care programs in New York City and now works regularly with partner organizations such as Multiple Sclerosis, Muscular Distrophy, Aphasia, Senior Health Partners, and numerous others. For these organizations, Dyna’s Handyman Construction Services currently prides itself on being "Accessibility Experts for the Disabled".
