Commercial Janitorial Cleaning and Custodial Services

We run commercial janitorial cleaning on recurring contracts, with the same crew on your building every shift and a task record for every visit.

Janitorial Service Options

Multi-tenant buildings often pair a night crew with a day porter.

  • Nightly janitorial

    After hours, 5 to 7 nights a week.

  • Split shifts

    A morning crew and an evening crew on the same day.

  • Weekend-only

    Work done while the building is empty.

Services

Janitorial Service Types We Provide

Four setups cover most buildings we work in. Medical, retail and other facility scopes are on our commercial cleaning in Portland page.

What we clean

What a visit covers, room by room

Pick a room, then a number, to see how the crew does that task and how often.

Tap a number

Every tenant and visitor crosses the lobby, and it is the room property managers hear about long before anyone mentions a suite.

Entry doors and glass

What it looks like

The crew starts at the door, since every hand in the building touches it. Push plates and pull handles get disinfectant on the cloth and stay wet for the label contact time. Then the glass is scrubbed and squeegeed on both sides, the lower third gets a second look where bags and strollers hit it, and the pane is checked against the light before the crew moves inside.

Steps

  1. Disinfect push plates and pull handles
  2. Scrub and squeegee the glass both sides
  3. Detail the lower third and frame edges
  4. Check for streaks against the light

Tools

  • Squeegee and scrubber
  • Blue microfiber (glass)
  • EPA-registered disinfectant

Day Porter & Lobby Attendant Services

A day porter keeps restrooms and the lobby in shape while the building is full.

Hours
Business hours: 4 hours a day part-time, or full day
Restroom checks
Every one to two hours
Also covers
Spills, conference room resets, lobby sweeps, lunch-rush break rooms

A porter covers the hours between night cleans, in buildings that put 200 or more people through shared restrooms every day.

02 / 04

After-Hours Janitorial Cleaning

The full-building clean, done after close so none of it interrupts the workday.

Typical window
9 PM to 4 AM
Access
Fobs for serviced floors only, every entry and exit logged

In Pearl District and downtown multi-tenant buildings, the crew works inside the alarm and fob system without calling building management. The office checklist is under office cleaning on our commercial cleaning page.

Portland buildings

Downtown towers
Each has its own freight elevator rules and after-hours badge system. The walkthrough records both.
Pearl District lofts
Old ductwork drops dust on exposed brick and high ceilings, so they get more high dusting and HEPA vacuums.
Lloyd and Central Eastside
Glued-down carpet in Lloyd offices, polished concrete in Central Eastside conversions. Each floor gets its own chemistry.
South Waterfront and MAX stops
Commuter traffic every morning and evening, plus busy showers and bike rooms. We rotate entry mats and add floor passes.

03 / 04

Scheduled Recurring Maintenance

Nightly cleaning won't restore a worn floor finish or pull the soil out of a carpet traffic lane, so that work runs on its own calendar.

Rotations
Deep cleaning, strip and wax, carpet extraction, windows, high dusting
Inspections
Monthly
Records
For property reviews, lease compliance and insurance

Restoring a floor costs more than keeping it up. The strip and wax goes in September, while the air is still warm and dry.

04 / 04

Deep Cleaning & Seasonal Refresh

Once or twice a year, the work that sits outside the nightly checklist.

Covers
Vents and light fixtures, wall and door frame spots, grout, appliances
Typical timing
March to May; retail in January or August; medical in April or May
Time on site
One full day for a 5,000 sq ft office with a crew of 2–3; two to three days for larger facilities

A one-time commercial deep cleaning before the first night also gives a new program a clean start. After a renovation or TI build-out, book post-construction cleaning instead, finished to CSI MasterFormat 01 74 23.

Pricing

What Janitorial Services Cost in Portland

Monthly ranges for recurring programs in the Portland metro, 2026. Deep cleans are quoted separately.

Estimate

What would your building cost?

Frequency

Estimated range

$1,300–$2,400 a month

Each added visit costs less than the first, because less builds up between cleans.

Ranges are per month for recurring service, with a $150 minimum per visit. You get one flat monthly price after a walkthrough.

See the rate table
Recurring janitorial rates in the Portland metro, per square foot per month
Facility Per sq ft per month
Small offices Under 2,000 sq ft $0.12–$0.25
Mid-size facilities 2,000–10,000 sq ft $0.10–$0.20
Large facilities 10,000+ sq ft $0.07–$0.15

Why the range

The ranges assume about one visit a week. A 5,000 sq ft office runs $500–$1,000 a month weekly and roughly $1,200–$2,400 at three nights a week. The Portland cleaning rates guide breaks it down by city.

Service Frequency Options

  • Daily

    High-traffic offices and lobbies

  • 3x weekly

    Standard office maintenance; the usual mid-size start

  • Weekly

    Lower-traffic offices, with a deeper clean each visit

Questions

Common Questions About Janitorial Services in Portland

How much do janitorial services cost in Portland?

Recurring janitorial in the Portland metro runs $0.12–$0.25 per square foot a month under 2,000 sq ft, $0.10–$0.20 from 2,000 to 10,000 sq ft, and $0.07–$0.15 above that, at about one visit a week. More nights raise the monthly total. We quote one flat monthly price after a walkthrough.

What's the difference between janitorial and commercial cleaning?

Janitorial is recurring work done nightly or weekly by the same crew for one monthly price. Commercial cleaning covers jobs booked one at a time, like a deep clean or a floor strip and wax. Most facilities need both.

Do you offer day porter service?

Yes. A porter works on site during business hours and checks restrooms every one to two hours. Part-time coverage is 4 hours a day, and porter hours can be added to any nightly schedule.

What's the difference between a day porter and a janitor?

A janitor cleans after hours, so the building is ready before your team walks in. A day porter works business hours, checking restrooms and the lobby while people use them. Busy multi-tenant buildings usually run both.

What are your contract terms?

Month-to-month by default, no contract required. If you want the price fixed, take a 12-month term with the monthly price locked. On that term, if we miss a visit, or don't respond to a reported problem by the next business day and re-clean it free, you can leave on 30 days' written notice with no cancellation fee.

What if something gets missed?

Call or text your account manager. You hear back the same day, or the next business day after hours, and the re-clean is free. The visit record shows what was done.

Are your janitorial crews background-checked and insured?

Yes. Crews are a mix of W-2 employees and vetted 1099 subcontractors, all background-checked and SSN-verified. We carry $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate general liability, we're bonded, and we issue a certificate of insurance at onboarding.
