Common-area cleaning, built for accountability
Recurring common-area cleaning is the core of what Porter does commercially — one written scope, one accountable point of contact, and visibility into what actually happened at each visit.
Common-Area Cleaning
Recurring cleaning + management visibility
- Hallways & stairwells
- Lobbies & entrances
- Elevators
- Laundry & mail areas
- Trash areas
- Light exterior upkeep where included
- Property-specific written scope
- Documented completion + issue flagging
Unit turns, move-in / move-out cleaning, and deep cleaning — for overflow needs or tight turnover deadlines, alongside your recurring common-area service.
Cleaning is only useful if management can trust what happened.
Written property-specific scope
Each property gets its own checklist and frequency — not a generic package applied everywhere.
Service verification
Completion is checked against that property's scope on every visit, not assumed.
Visible issue reporting
Leaks, lights out, trash problems, and damage get flagged to management directly.
One accountable local contact
You work with one person, not a call center or a rotating account rep.
Quality oversight
Visits are checked on an ongoing basis — not left to run unsupervised once scoped.
Backup coverage
A missed or short-staffed visit doesn't have to mean a missed property.
Visibility when you're not onsite every day
When management isn't at the property daily, Porter can be the eyes that are. Each visit can surface:

Common questions
What size properties does Porter work with?
Small and midsize apartment and condominium properties — especially buildings without full-time in-house porter or housekeeping teams.
Can Porter work with us if we already have a cleaning company?
Yes. Porter is often used as a backup vendor, a bidder when a contract comes up for review, or for a unit turn — you don't need to replace an existing cleaner to start.
What is included in service verification?
Each visit is checked against that property's written scope, with photos where appropriate, and any visible issues — leaks, lights out, trash problems, damage — flagged to management.
Can Porter handle vacant-unit turns?
Yes, as a secondary service alongside recurring common-area cleaning — vacant-unit cleaning with condition photos and punch-list observations before move-in, including overflow or tight-deadline situations.
Do we need to sign a long-term contract?
No specific term is required upfront. Porter can start with one property, and we'll provide a defined proposal from there.
How is pricing determined?
Pricing follows a walkthrough of the property — scope, frequency, and area determine a fixed price.
Who performs the cleaning?
Porter manages the scope, communication, and verification. Porter may use approved local cleaning partners for field service, and remains the customer's single point of contact.
Start with one property.
Walk one building with Porter — ask about unit turns or move-in/move-out cleaning when you do.
