A national grocery chain with locations across Texas. High foot traffic. Customer-facing walkways that take a beating from carts, spills, gum, and daily wear. Corporate executives expected for an inspection visit.
Three to four high-level C-suite executives were flying in from Idaho to Texas to inspect several stores. The facilities team received notice that the front-end exteriors needed to be cleaned within 24 hours—before the executives touched down.
Four stores needed complete front-end cleaning, and the work had to be finished before sunrise when patrons would start arriving. There was no room for delays or excuses.
We mobilized within four hours of receiving the call. Our team moved all the pots, pans, bricks, and obstacles from the front of each store. We delivered a full cleaning: complete power wash and window cleaning on all four locations.
All four stores were completed within eight hours—before the next morning. When the executives arrived to view the interior, the exteriors were spotless. Water was dried, cones were removed, and every entrance was ready for customers.
A Fortune 50 national retailer with three multi-story parking garages in Virginia. High customer traffic. Urban locations with the challenges that come with harsh winter weather and heavy vehicle turnover.
Virginia had just been hit by a nasty snowstorm. All the sand and salt used for road treatment had spread throughout the parking garages. Debris was everywhere. Customers were complaining that small rocks were kicking up and chipping the paint on their vehicles.
The retailer needed all three parking structures cleaned within a week to eliminate the liability and stop the customer complaints before the situation escalated further.
We mobilized our best team from Colorado and drove them across the country to Virginia. The crew parked in Virginia for a full week, dedicating approximately two and a half days per parking garage.
All three structures were thoroughly cleaned. Sand, salt, and debris were removed. All water was properly reclaimed. The garages were left spotless and safe for customers.
A grocery store in Florida with a compactor area that had deteriorated into a serious environmental and health hazard. The EPA was involved. The situation required immediate action to avoid significant fines and potential closure.
The compactor area had become an environmental disgrace. Feces and human waste had accumulated behind the compactor from individuals who had been living there. The EPA was all over the location demanding immediate remediation.
Hiring a specialized EPA remediation company would have cost five to six thousand dollars. The grocery store needed the problem solved quickly and cost-effectively—without compromising on thoroughness or safety.
Our team suited up in full protective gear—ghillie suits and masks—and handled the job ourselves. We bagged all debris, reclaimed all water, and used specialized chemicals to eliminate odors and sanitize the area completely.
We even addressed wildlife concerns by ensuring no toxic residue remained that could harm animals returning to the area. When we finished, the flat work was clean enough to eat off of. The smell was gone. The EPA concern was resolved.
A grocery store in Louisiana—part of a national chain. The humid Southern climate had taken its toll on the building exterior. Corporate executives were scheduled for a visit, and the building needed to look its best.
Black algae had spread across the side of the building—a common problem in the South due to humidity and sun exposure. The building looked neglected and unprofessional. Higher-ups from the C-suite were coming by for an inspection.
The problem: CFOs don’t give you two weeks notice. The facilities team was told the executives would arrive the next day. There was no time for traditional scheduling or equipment rental. The building had to be cleaned that same day.
We dispatched a team from Shreveport to Metairie. The call came in around noon. Our crew was on site by 3 PM and finished by 7-8 PM the same day.
We used water-fed poles and a soft wash technique instead of expensive lifts—cutting costs significantly without sacrificing quality. All algae was removed. The building looked brand new when the executives arrived the next morning.
A restaurant location in the Denver area. High-visibility storefront. Customer-facing windows that needed to be clean and inviting. Corporate standards to maintain for brand consistency.
Vandals had tagged the walls with graffiti. The spray had also gotten onto the windows. This was a two-fold problem: the graffiti needed to come off the walls, and the windows needed to be cleaned thoroughly.
The content was something the restaurant couldn’t have customers reading. The graffiti had to come down fast. The restaurant needed the problem solved within a four-hour window—no exceptions.
We were on site within the four-hour window requested. Using non-chemical solutions, we removed the graffiti from the walls and cleaned all affected windows. The graffiti was relatively fresh, which helped—it came off quickly.
The entire job was completed within an hour. We captured detailed before and after photos and sent them immediately to the VP so they could see visually that the problem was resolved.
A property management group overseeing a commercial building. High tenant and visitor traffic. Parking lot that needed to meet ADA compliance and fire code requirements. Safety and liability were top concerns.
The handicap lanes had faded to the point where they were barely visible. This created serious liability issues—people who needed those spaces couldn’t find them, and the property was out of ADA compliance.
Making matters worse, the handicap signs were faded and unreadable. One spot was missing a sign entirely. Fire lanes had also faded, creating additional safety and compliance concerns.
We restriped and repainted all handicap lanes to bring them back to full visibility. But our technicians went further—they identified that the signage was inadequate and sourced new handicap signs on their own initiative.
We also addressed the faded fire lanes, restriping them for safety compliance. The property manager received more than they expected: fresh striping, new signs, and fire lane work—all completed within budget and on schedule.
