Finding the right Commercial Cleaning Service Partner
Finding the right Commercial Cleaning Service for your company
Finding the right Commercial cleaning company can be a daunting task and there are so many factors that can play a role in the decision process. Keep in mind the following when looking at the qualifications of a commercial cleaning company :
- Experience- Pick a company that has been in business at least 5-10 years serving the commercial market (there is a huge
diff
erence between commercial cleaning and residential cleaning)
- Protection- Ask for a copy of the companies liability, workers comp and bond documentation. Many companies don’t have proper limits and can leave you exposed in the event of an accident
- Security- Ask the potential partner to provide a copy of there human resource process in hiring labor. Be sure they are completing a high level background check, check references and are legally documented to work in the US
- Management- Ask how your account will be managed and what level of communication will be afforded to you. You want account manager that you can call on with concerns or issues, a live person that answers the phone and stops in from time to time to check on your satisfaction level.
- Competitive Pricing- You should get 3-4 bids minimum to determine your price is competitive. We suggest throwing out any bid that seems too good to be true or too high to be affordable.
Pricing can be the most difficult factor in qualifying a commercial cleaning company for a number of reasons. The market is saturated with different levels of service providers.
- Franchisees
- Mom and Pop/ One man on the van companies
- Family owned and Operated Local companies
- Large Regional or National brands that have a local presence
There are pros and cons to each of these scenarios and each business model is different allowing a pricing strategy that can vary considerably. Be cautious of the LOW BID as it can be an attractive price but you know the old adage
“You get what you pay for.”
Low quotes can mean a commercial cleaning company doesn’t have the experience or isn’t paying for the high cost liability insurance therefore allowing lower overhead. They may be paying labor minimum wage or employ illegal workers. At the end of the day, it usually ends up with a subpar commercial cleaning service leaving you frustrated and back to square one!
Your best chance at getting a solid maintenance service and responsive service is to hire a professional janitorial company that understands how to fairly price their services and deliver on their commitments to you. Yes, these very good companies might not offer the lowest pricing but they likely won’t be the highest either and the real value comes in them consistently doing the work they promised.
Good work doesn’t have to come with a high price tag and there are plenty of reputable companies that take pride in both their work and pricing strategy.

We will not take on an account at a price that we can’t perform because we know that will lead to a negative experience and our reputation of quality means more then making a few extra dollars in the long run.
