A Skilled Maintenance Workforce for Your Commercial Facility

Operating and maintaining a commercial building requires a lot of labor and a skilled workforce. Commercial facilities experience high traffic and tend to have large footprints; thus, facility crews face high maintenance and janitorial needs, due to constant use and wear, and the difficulty of those needs being spread over a sizeable space.

From proactive system inspections to optimizing building performance and reducing operational risk, commercial property managers face a wide array of logistical challenges in addition to physical maintenance and repair work. And that work usually requires skilled technicians, such as HVAC specialists, electricians, plumbers, and cleaning/sanitation technicians.

In addition to maintaining these standard systems, commercial facility managers also oversee the property’s cleanliness, ensuring a safe, comfortable, and attractive environment for tenants and guests. 

US&S provides a dependable and skilled workforce to meet the maintenance and janitorial challenges of commercial properties in the Southeast.

As fellow business owners, we know you have a lot on your plate. Dealing with tasks outside your core business interest can often be either overwhelming or distracting, and that's why commercial building owners and property management companies commonly contract specialized providers to efficiently handle facility maintenance and janitorial service.

What should be included in a commercial property maintenance plan?
A commercial property maintenance plan should include routine inspections, preventive maintenance, janitorial services, life safety checks, lighting, plumbing, HVAC coordination, exterior upkeep, work order tracking, and documentation. The exact scope should be based on the building type, occupancy, tenant expectations, and operational needs.
How often should commercial buildings be professionally maintained?
Commercial buildings should be maintained on daily, weekly, monthly, seasonal, and annual schedules. Daily tasks include cleaning, restroom service, trash removal, and touchpoint care. Weekly or monthly maintenance include inspections, lighting checks, minor repairs, and floor care. Seasonal and annual work often includes HVAC service, roof checks, life safety testing, and deeper preventive maintenance.
What is the difference between commercial janitorial services and facility maintenance?
Commercial janitorial services focus on cleaning tasks such as restroom sanitation, trash removal, floor care, dusting, surface cleaning, and common area upkeep. Facility maintenance covers the broader operational side of the building’s needs, including inspections, repairs, preventive maintenance, building systems, work orders, and vendor coordination.

Most commercial properties need both. Combining janitorial and maintenance support can help building owners reduce communication gaps and keep daily cleaning needs aligned with long-term facility performance.
What should property managers look for in a commercial facility services provider?
Property managers should look for a provider with experience in commercial facilities, clear scopes of work, trained staff, responsive communication, safety practices, reporting capabilities, and the ability to support both routine and unexpected needs. It’s also important to ask how the provider handles quality control, missed tasks, after-hour issues and work order documentation.

Before signing a facilities contract, building owners should make sure the scope, service and frequency, performance expectations, staffing, communication process, and extra-charge items are clearly defined.
