Commercial Janitorial and Waste Area Sanitation

Commercial cleaning built around the way your property operates.

Portstead Facility Services provides Commercial Janitorial and Waste Area Sanitation for multifamily and condominium communities, office buildings, retail and mixed-use centers, and property management portfolios, from Jupiter to Miami.

A condominium entry at first light: tall glass doors under a concrete canopy open onto a terrazzo lobby, with royal palms and a clipped planter outside.

Every account runs on a written scope: each space, each task, how often it is done and how it is checked.

Properties we serve

Four kinds of property, one written standard

  • Multifamily and condominium

    Residents notice a dirty lobby or trash room before anyone reports it, and the board hears about it. We keep common areas, amenities and waste areas to a scope the board can read.

  • Office buildings

    A facility manager should not have to chase the cleaning. Every visit works from a checklist, and supervisor checks catch what it misses.

  • Retail and mixed-use

    Walkways, restrooms and trash enclosures have to be clean before the doors open and stay clear of deliveries. Work is scheduled around trading hours.

  • Property management portfolios

    Several properties usually means several vendors and several standards. We bring them under one agreement, priced site by site, with one point of contact.

Services

Two services, each with its own scope

Commercial Janitorial

Recurring cleaning of common areas, lobbies, restrooms, offices, corridors and amenities, to a written scope by space, task and frequency, with a checklist for every visit.

Covers

  • Lobbies and entrances
  • Restrooms
  • Offices
  • Floors and corridors
  • Common areas and amenities

Waste Area Sanitation

Specialist cleaning of dumpsters, pads, enclosures and trash rooms, scheduled around hauler pickup days, with washwater handled to local rules. Sold on its own or with janitorial service.

Covers

  • Dumpsters and containers
  • Dumpster pads
  • Enclosures
  • Trash rooms

One account, separate scopes

Buy either service alone, or both under one agreement

Commercial Janitorial and Waste Area Sanitation are each sold on their own. Buy both and a combined agreement itemizes each scope with its own schedule, so each service is priced, scheduled and checked as its own line.

What a proposal covers

Everything agreed, in writing, before the first visit

  1. The site walk

    We walk the property with you and see every space before we price it.

  2. Spaces included

    Each area in scope named, from lobbies and restrooms to trash rooms and dumpster pads.

  3. Tasks and frequencies

    What is done in each space and how often: nightly, weekly or monthly.

  4. Access and hours

    When we work, how we enter and secure the building, and how the work fits around residents, tenants, trading hours and hauler pickups.

  5. How work is checked

    The visit checklist and the supervisor quality checks that apply to your site.

  6. How issues are raised and fixed

    How you report a problem, how it is logged and how it is corrected.

How service is checked

Checked on every visit, corrected when something is missed

These standards apply to every account, at every site.

  • Onboarding

    Before the first visit, the written scope, access details, keys and alarm codes, and the site safety plan are confirmed for your property.

  • A checklist for every visit

    Each visit works from a checklist drawn from your scope, space by space, so every space in the scope is covered on every visit.

  • Supervisor quality checks

    A supervisor inspects the work against the scope on a set schedule and records what was found and what was corrected.

  • Issue logging and correction

    Every issue you raise is logged, corrected and checked, and the log shows when it was closed.

  • Continuity when staff change

    The scope, checklist and site notes stay with the property, so a change in staff does not change the work.

  • Washwater handled to local rules

    Washwater from dumpster pads, containers and enclosures is handled to the local rules for drainage and disposal.

Questions

Questions property managers ask

Can I buy dumpster cleaning on its own?

Yes. Waste Area Sanitation is a standalone service covering dumpsters, pads, enclosures and trash rooms. Buy it alone, or with Commercial Janitorial under one agreement that itemizes each scope with its own schedule.

Do you handle several properties under one agreement?

Yes. A portfolio master agreement covers several properties, priced site by site, with a schedule for each site, the same scope language across sites and one point of contact.

What areas do you cover?

Jupiter to Miami: Palm Beach County, Broward County, and Miami-Dade County. For a property outside these counties, send its address with your request and we confirm coverage.

How is pricing set?

Every price comes from a written proposal after a site walk. It is set by the spaces included, square footage, frequency, shifts and access, container count, pad and enclosure size, and the number of sites.

What is not included?

Waste hauling, pest control, hazardous waste, biohazard cleanup, grease traps, building trades and repairs, and high-access work. These sit outside our scope. Every agreement lists what is cleaned, where and how often.
