Cost
Many people think hiring their own cleaner is the cheapest option for service, but for most people it is not. Hiring your own cleaner exposes you to many cost and liabilities that people are not aware of until it’s too late, only few customers are best suited for in house cleaners. If you are not sure what is the best option for you then ask ACS and we will be glad to explain in detail where in house services are the best fit.
 
Quality & Customer Service
ACS knows quality matters, as that is what has kept us in business for 45+ years. What many do not know is quality also comes in what is not seen, there are poor methods that look good but result in damaging your property over time or not protecting you as intended. Even more, ACS tries hard to have the best customer service around by providing online, email, phone and staffed office to help you with all of your needs. As well as in emergency situations, everyone at ACS is willing to pick up a plunger, mop or rag to take care of your needs.
 
Reduced Liability, BOLI Licensed and Insured up to $5,000,000
Reduced liability is one big reason to hire a professional company, but ensuring you are properly covered is important, you cannot just hire anyone as many providers fall below the state mandated levels and if they are not going to follow the laws then chance are they are not going to follow your contract. ACS goes above and beyond the state required minimums, which provides you with additional coverage.
 
Paid Sick Time, Hourly Pay & Matching Retirement
Often customers do not at first think it matters how their cleaner is paid, but that would be false. Cleaners with no provided sick time are likely to show up to your place sick and spread illness. Cleaners paid salary are motivated to cut corners. Employees who are getting benefits, like retirement, are likely to stick around - reducing turn over issues. Plus, a company that cares about its employees cares about its customers.
 
Staff Support
There is so much you get when you hire ACS that may go unnoticed at first. ACS has detailed training programs to ensure people giving you service know how to do it. When needed ACS provides coverage for cleaners, something you have to do or go without service when using in house staff, solo service provides or some small businesses. With that, ACS has re-staff covered for you at a moment’s notice and we make sure all staff are background screened through OSP. Hiring ACS is like adding a department to your business that has managers to handle things as you direct; including inspecting, reporting and more.
 
24/7 Operations & Emergency Response
Not that you need it all the time, but when you do you will be glad to know that you have a team with the experience and size to be able to help. When major issues strike you need a team large enough to handle it, and when you’re using a solo operator they cannot do 24/7, they have to sleep sometime.
 
Wide Range of Skilled Services and Scalable
Small sized businesses cannot be skilled in every area. You have heard the saying  “Jack of all trades, master of none”? ACS, with 60 staff members and 10 partner companies, has mastered in many trades and can be scaled to small on call services or larger regular services all while still keeping cost down.
 
Quality Products, Equipment and Chemicals
We all know how important quality TP is but during the COVID-19 outbreak people started realizing how important quality chemicals can be. Many cleaners did not provide protection against COVID-19, but the ACS product line, while also being Green, has been listed as an approved cleaner for COVID-19.  Equipment also plays an important role, better tools do better jobs even if not seen. ACS uses microfiber technology for better removal of contamination as well as HEPA filter vacuums that filter the air providing a cleaner indoor air quality for you and your staff. This all adds a little to the cost of doing business, but when your building and staff are important to you then you’ll find that these cost are relatively small.
 
Tracking & Reporting
The three biggest ways companies cut cost to make money while being the cheapest is taking it out of employees’ pocket, dodging government regulations, taxes, etc … and not providing the customer with what is listed in the service agreement.  ACS prides itself on contract fulfillment, and we have free suggestions you can use to ensure you’re not being taken advantage of by your service provider. What ACS does to help show that customers contract fulfillment is happening is we provide yearly schedules of service ahead of time, we call to remind of services beforehand, we use a tracking software to record services and provide follow-up reporting after service. Some customers hire ACS just to help monitor or train their own staff.
 
Experience & Supplier Diversity
Supplier diversity is one of those items important to our government contracts, but becoming increasingly important to all of our customers. ACS is a registered Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business.  ACS has 45+ years of experience; the acting president, and operations manager both started at the bottom and worked up through the ranks, you can read more about that on our About page and there is more you can learn when reading over our web pages, but if you are needing or interested in seeing what you could gain by hiring ACS then please contact us today.
