Commercial
Offices & Institutions
Offices and commercial buildings, cleaned in the window between when the last person leaves and the first one arrives. Nobody who works there should ever see us do it.
The lobby is what people actually judge
A tenant walks the same forty feet every morning. They do not inspect the floor plates or read the scope of work, they look at the glass, the elevator doors, and the stone. That is the part of the building that tells them whether the landlord is paying attention.
So it is the part we treat as its own program rather than as something that happens if there is time at the end of a shift. Metal and marble polishing, interior and exterior glass, and entrance floor care are scheduled on their own cycle, and the cycle is written into the scope so it does not quietly become quarterly.
The window is the whole constraint
Most of this work runs after close, inside a service window that has to end before the doors open. There is no version of an office program where the crew is still finishing when people arrive. That single constraint drives the staffing, the route order, and how much of the periodic work can go in on any given night.
For the hours in between, day porter coverage handles what a nightly crew structurally cannot: the spill at 11 a.m., the restroom at lunch, the conference room between two meetings, the loading dock after a delivery. Buildings that stay busy into the evening usually need both, and we will tell you which of the two your building is actually short on.
One vendor for the cleaning and for the things that break
Cleaning and building maintenance are usually two contracts, two invoices, and two people to call when something is wrong at 4 p.m. on a Friday. We hold both, so a burned-out fixture, a paint scuff in a corridor, or a piece of flooring that has lifted goes to the supervisor who is already walking your building twice a week.
We are straight about where that line sits. Our cleaning staff are directly employed and background-checked. Licensed trades, meaning HVAC, plumbing, and electrical, are performed by vetted subcontractor partners working under our supervision and our insurance. We would rather say that plainly than imply an in-house license we do not hold.
Who is in your building after hours
An office program means people with keys and after-hours access to floors full of unattended equipment and paper. That is a security question before it is a cleaning question, and it deserves a straight answer.
Our cleaning crews are directly employed and background-checked, and they are assigned to your building rather than rotated through it. We do not subcontract custodial labor. A supervisor walks your site at least twice a week.

Every scope is written to the building after a walkthrough. This is a starting point, not a package.
