abracadabra was started in 1980 by a “wash-ashore” from New York City. Christine (Panasci) Tynan had worked for five years as an office manager in New York City. She moved to Cape Cod in February, and worked as a waitress that summer. By October she realized that she needed a job with year-round income in a seasonal location.

She started out by cleaning houses on her own, primarily for senior citizens. In order to serve more clients, she began hiring people to work with her. 

As the demographics of the Cape changed, so did the clientele. As the year round population increased, so did the business. 

The company grew slowly and over the next few of decades, seeing many changes in the population along the way. Today abracadabra still cleans houses for senior citizens, as well as second homeowners, rental property owners, restaurants, offices, new construction and residential customers. We pride ourselves on our versatility and willingness to accommodate different situations. 

Today we offer a wide variety of cleaning services, as well as HouseSpouse Home Evaluations  to help keep homeowners apprised of and on top of maintenance concerns. We also have a list of reliable contractors that can help homeowners with needed services.
