How day porter differs from janitorial
Day porters provide on-site support during business hours (touch-ups, restrooms, trash, spot cleaning). Janitorial is typically scheduled after hours for full cleaning routines.
What to include in scope
- Restroom checks & restocking frequency
- Trash checks and common area touch-ups
- Spill response expectations
- Reporting and supervisor oversight
Cost considerations
Pricing is often tied to hours on-site and coverage. Define duties clearly to avoid scope creep.
Local notes for Connecticut
- Seasonal salt and slush can stress floors—ask about entry mat programs and floor-care schedules.
- For shared buildings, confirm cleaning times to avoid disrupting tenants and visitors.
- Define quality controls (checklists and supervisor audits) so service stays consistent.
Next steps: compare providers in your area
Use the city pages on this directory to find providers near you. Request quotes with a clear scope so you can compare fairly.
FAQ
Should I get multiple quotes?
Yes. Getting 2–3 written quotes helps you compare scope, schedule, and quality controls—not just price. (Guidance may vary by city/county in Connecticut.)
What should be in a written estimate?
Look for scope, frequency, supplies/equipment assumptions, inspection process, and how add-ons/change orders are handled. (Guidance may vary by city/county in Connecticut.)
How do I compare providers fairly?
Send the same checklist/scope to each provider, ask the same questions, and confirm who supervises and inspects work. (Guidance may vary by city/county in Connecticut.)
