We have been promising to do this for a while, so we finally sat down and wrote a comparison. Here are some typical differences between a startup janitorial company and ServiceMaster Services Janitorial. These differences are real, and they are very relevant regardless of account size.
The two most important factors here, in addition to the expertise, are, the depth of the LOCAL bench; and personnel on-call personnel 24 hours a day.
Many large regional players have tried to enter our market and failed. This is simply because they could not staff for the inevitable turnover. Simply put, employees quit faster than they could be replaced. These companies failed in large accounts time and again. Additionally, simply coming in and ATTEMPTING to manage a local hospital's existing custodial staff, is far different from starting a 50 person industrial account from scratch. ServiceMaster Services has shown large commercial and industrial accounts how to outsource, and save incredible amounts of money, through intensive management and training.
When there is a spill or an item requiring immediate attention, ServiceMaster immediately dispatches personnel to attend to it. We do not make our customers wait until tomorrow; we get on it NOW. Our sense of urgency is unparalleled in the industry.
ServiceMaster Services Janitorial in Mobile, AL has been serving the Mobile, AL area for over thirty years. That's at least as far back as we can tell. However, we know people who called our franchise as early as 1962, so we may in fact be over 55 years old here in Mobile! Our owner has attended the ServiceMaster Academy of Service and has won awards for service and growth for the past 25 years! We have been a part of the community for all that time, having served literally thousands of businesses and homeowners.
During that time, we have bid on, and have served, hundreds of businesses and buildings in the Mobile area. Currently, our client list reads like a who's who of the Mobile area's businesses and major industrial facilities. We have experience in every type of facility including medical, industrial, educational, manufacturing and large multi-tenant.
(251) 344-5105 is the number for the original (and real) ServiceMaster janitorial company in Mobile. ServiceMaster Services Janitorial, combined with our disaster restoration franchise, ServiceMaster Advanced Cleaning & Restoration, (also the original ServiceMaster disaster restoration company in Mobile and Baldwin Counties); gives our business enterprise capabilities that few, if any, janitorial companies, or disaster restoration companies, can match. The telephone number for ServiceMaster Advanced Cleaning & Restoration is (251) 653-9333. Our two companies have been in the Mobile area for over thirty years, and we have built the ServiceMaster name and reputation in Mobile and Baldwin Counties. We live here. We pay taxes here.

We cannot speak for the capabilities of others, we can only speak about our service and capabilities. We write regular articles on janitorial solutions and disaster restoration. We are building problem solvers and bring a level of expertise to our janitorial accounts that normal janitorial companies simply do not have. We rarely use the stock photos of the ServiceMaster Company in our articles, preferring to use our own local pictures of actual work that WE have done.
