The TAJ Brand is a janitorial and cleaning service founded by our late father, Narine Persaud, in June 1987. As a small family cleaning service, our father coordinated cleaning requests from local business owners and personally performed services for their properties, parking lots, and landscapes. During the day, we all worked regular 9-to-5 jobs, but in the evenings, we would clean offices alongside our dad, who immigrated from Guyana and became a U.S. citizen.

Our parents instilled a strong work ethic in all five of us children born in the United States. It was customary for us to work full-time during the day at regular 9-to-5 jobs, then after work seize any available opportunities during nights and weekends to support Dad and the family business. This dedication helped us grow into the only significant Black-owned cleaning business in Rhode Island.

As a Black, minority-owned company, TAJ Contracting Cleaning has been in business for over twenty years. Our team members bring multiple years of professional cleaning experience, and our management and operations team is among the most experienced in Rhode Island. As a locally certified minority business enterprise, we are committed to excellence. The tradition of hard work continues with Roger Persaud and his brother Dan who works full-time in IT and then cleans offices at night and on weekends with family.
