Since our inception, Benchmark Cleaning has provided janitorial services to a wide array of clientele including: large commercial buildings, government facilities, medical buildings, city offices and municipalities, and schools. We are committed to making the facilities we manage the safest and cleanest environment possible at an affordable price.

Our mission is to provide innovative solutions and exceptional services in meeting the needs of our clients. We can achieve this goal by committing ourselves to consistently improving quality, increasing productivity, introducing new products and equipment, and by providing our employees with the training and support needed to help them be successful. Encouraging a company culture that initiates forward thinking on such items as social, economic, environmental, and safety concerns. A core understanding of these ideals helps us create a strong partnership with the communities we serve. Setting a strong foundation with our clients, leads to organizational stability and plays an integral role in creating a pleasant environment.

We strive to provide training that ensures our employees are prepared to take on new contracts and, train new employees to attain the knowledge and work ethic we require. Proper training helps the employee feel comfortable in their new surroundings, aiding them in their success.

Along with competitive pay, we offer sick leave, vacation time, opportunity for advancement and additional benefits for key personnel.

The green cleaning process is not just about transitioning into the use of more environmentally friendly products; it is also about systematically altering the cleaning processes and procedures to be tailored to the specific needs of each facility. It is critical to take into account the facilities operational design when considering environmentally friendly practices. By doing this we are able to come up with more effective methods to reduce noise pollution, minimize wasted materials, and proper waste disposal. We are experienced in the use of green products in various facilities and are aware of the best practices for energy conservation.  Our practices in team cleaning have had a positive correlation with energy conservation. Having our staff work together in specific areas of a building contributes to reduced electricity and water usage as well as the materials needed to complete routine cleaning tasks.

We cultivate a culture of quality that is dedicated to total improvement in the services we offer our clients. We achieve this through “leadership by example” actions from owner to general cleaner. We utilize a management style that encourages the idea that quality culture is an environment in which employees go above and beyond client expectations. Our employees and clients know that Benchmark leadership operates with a very hands on approach, and demonstrates attention to detail and a level of service that is unmatched.
