Commercial cleaning for Houston buildings, run as a program instead of a list of chores
Property managers and business owners in Houston do not need a crew that shows up. They need one that shows up the same way every time, on a written scope, with someone checking the work.
Commercial cleaning starts with a walkthrough. We walk the building with you, or with the property manager, and write a scope: which areas get cleaned every visit (restrooms, break rooms, lobbies, trash), which ones weekly (dusting high ledges, glass partitions, kitchen appliances), which ones monthly (baseboards, vents, upholstery spot-cleaning) and which ones quarterly (carpet extraction, floor machine work). That scope becomes the checklist the crew carries and the list our supervisor inspects against.
Houston buildings vary enormously. A Class A tower in the Energy Corridor or downtown wants nightly service across many floors, a day porter in the lobby and restrooms, and a cleaning log the property manager can see. A single-story office in Westchase needs three nights a week. A strip-center suite in Pearland may want a Saturday morning clean so the floors are fresh for Monday. We price each one from the scope, not from a rate card.
Cleaning happens when the building is empty, usually after six in the evening, or early in the morning for businesses that prefer it. Crews carry keys or access cards under a signed key-control procedure, set the alarm when they leave, and report anything they notice, such as a leaking ceiling tile, a door that will not latch or an overflowing dumpster, to your contact the same night.

Questions about commercial cleaning
Do you sign cleaning contracts?
Yes, usually month to month after a short first term, with 30 days' notice either way. We would rather keep a building because the work is good than because a contract says so.
Who checks the work?
A supervisor inspects against the written scope on a schedule and sends you a short report. You can add your own notes, and they go into the next night's checklist.
Can you clean during business hours?
Day porters work during business hours by design. Full cleaning is usually done once everyone has gone home, so it does not interrupt anyone.
Do you supply paper goods and soap?
We can supply and bill them, or refill from your stock. Many buildings prefer to buy their own and have us track the levels.
How do you handle keys and alarms?
Keys and access cards are signed for, kept on a key log and returned when a contract ends. Crews set the alarm on the way out.
Do you clean multi-tenant buildings?
Yes. Common areas run on the building's scope, and individual tenants can contract separately for their suites.
