What this means when you scope a building

  • Warehouses near Hartsfield-Jackson and along the southern interstates need ride-on scrubbing, dock sweeping, and high dusting on a set calendar.
  • With 29 counties in the metro, ask for separate schedules north and south of downtown. Forsyth and Henry County sites rarely share a crew efficiently.
  • Office parks in Alpharetta and Sandy Springs usually pair evening cleaning with a midday porter for restrooms and break rooms.
  • Budget labor against the $17.00 median janitor wage, then put any savings into floor care where traffic is heaviest.
