First Maintenance Company was started in Oklahoma City in 1982. The business was originated by a family with more than 20 years' experience in building services in Texas and Oklahoma. In March, 1984, the company was purchased by Robert T. Lewis, II and Jay V. Wells. 

     The company was incorporated as an S-Corp in the State of Oklahoma. Robert T. Lewis, II acquired 100% ownership in September, 1993, and from 1984 has  personally operated the company.

     Since its inception, the business has grown into one of the largest janitorial contractors in Oklahoma. The company cleans in excess of 9 million square feet of office, training, research, medical, school and government facilities in the State of Oklahoma. Project sizes range from a few thousand to several hundred thousand square feet and are under the management of most of the major property management companies in the state. 

     One of the key strengths of First Maintenance Company is its involvement of upper and middle management at the client's service level. An account executive is assigned to each building and coordinates efforts between tenants, building managers and cleaning personnel to promptly address problems and special requests. In addition, personnel at the supervisor level or above are equipped with mobile phones, pagers and are on a 24-hour answering system to provide responsive service to customers. 

     First Maintenance has been fortunate to have provided services on a diverse range of projects. These include several million+ Sq. Ft. projects, medical centers, high rise offices and traditional complexes.

     Currently, First Maintenance cleans over nine million square feet in the Oklahoma City area and employs 400 people at its more than 50 job sites. In 2007, First Maintenance in Oklahoma City had revenues in excess of seven million dollars.
