Getting multiple quotes for your commercial building? Not all janitorial proposals are created equal. Here’s how to compare apples to apples and avoid getting burned.
📋 1. Is the Scope of Work Detailed?
A good proposal clearly outlines:
Areas to be cleaned
Frequency of service
Time of day (porter vs. night crew)
Specific services (trash, restrooms, dusting, etc.)
At SelectPro, we customize your scope to match your exact needs — no fluff or filler.
📋 2. Are Supplies Included?
Clarify if:
Cleaning chemicals and equipment are included
Restroom consumables (toilet paper, hand soap) are stocked by the vendor
Green cleaning products are available upon request
📋 3. Is the Company Insured and Experienced?
Don’t skip the fine print. Look for:
General liability and workers' comp insurance
Experience with commercial and multifamily buildings in SF
References from local properties
📋 4. What’s the Communication Protocol?
Ask:
Who’s your point of contact?
How are issues reported and resolved?
Is there a quality control process in place?
