Janitorial services · Albany, NY
Janitorial services in Albany, nightly and on schedule.
Recurring janitorial programs for Capital Region offices, medical suites, schools, retail and industrial sites — a written scope by frequency, supplies handled, and inspections that keep the standard from slipping.
A program, not a one-time clean
Janitorial is the recurring work that keeps a building running: restrooms, trash, floors, dusting and disinfection, done on a fixed schedule by a crew that knows the building.
The hard part of janitorial isn't the cleaning. It's doing the same job to the same standard on the 200th night as on the first. Most complaints we hear from Albany facility managers aren't about technique — they're about skipped tasks, rotating strangers and nobody answering the phone. Our programs are built to fix exactly that: one written scope, one assigned crew, inspections against the scope, and a direct line to the people who run the work.
We run janitorial for office buildings, medical and dental practices, schools, retail, warehouses and industrial sites, and apartment and mixed-use common areas. A single suite or a portfolio of buildings gets the same scope format, so you can compare sites line by line.
Switching janitorial vendors doesn't have to be painful. We can start on the first of the month, walk the building with your outgoing vendor's scope in hand, and flag what it was missing. Keys and alarm codes transfer on day one, and the first week includes a start-up clean so the building is brought back to standard instead of inheriting the last vendor's backlog.
What gets done — and how often
A typical office scope below. Yours is written room by room after the walkthrough and adjusted to your traffic.
Every visit (nightly or daily)
- Empty trash and recycling; replace liners
- Clean, disinfect and restock restrooms
- Wipe and disinfect high-touch points: handles, switches, rails, elevator buttons
- Clean breakroom counters, sinks, tables and appliance fronts
- Vacuum carpeted traffic lanes; sweep and damp-mop hard floors
- Spot-clean entry glass and lobby surfaces
Weekly
- Detail-dust desks, ledges, sills and partitions
- Vacuum carpet edge to edge, including under desks
- Clean interior glass partitions and door glass
- Descale restroom fixtures; scrub floor drains
Monthly
- Dust vents, returns and high ledges
- Wipe baseboards, door frames and kick plates
- Machine-scrub restroom and breakroom floors
- Clean refrigerator and microwave interiors (on request)
Periodic (quarterly to yearly)
- Hard-floor burnish, scrub-and-recoat or full strip-and-wax
- Carpet hot-water extraction
- High dusting, light fixtures and diffusers
- Upholstery and fabric partition cleaning
Periodic floor work is run by our floor care crew, on the same contract.
Nightly, daytime or both
Nightly janitorial. The most common setup for offices and schools. The crew arrives after close, works the full scope, and locks up. Your team comes in to a building that's already done.
Day porter. For lobbies, restrooms and breakrooms that take heavy traffic during business hours — medical offices, busy retail, multi-tenant buildings. A porter keeps high-use areas right between nightly cleans and handles spills when they happen.
Hybrid. Nightly crew plus a daytime porter for peak hours. Common in larger buildings where one shift can't keep up.
Weekly or a few nights a week. Smaller suites with low headcount often don't need nightly service. We'll tell you honestly what frequency your space needs — our cleaning frequency guide covers how we decide.
The parts of janitorial that usually go wrong
Supplies handled
We bring chemicals and equipment. On request we stock paper, soap and liners and track usage, so restrooms don't run out on a Tuesday afternoon.
Quality inspections
Work is inspected against the written scope, not a vague idea of clean. Misses get logged and corrected, and repeat issues change the scope or the schedule.
Keys & access
Keys, fobs and alarm codes are logged and issued only to your assigned crew. We follow your lock-up procedure and report anything unusual we find.
COI & vendor paperwork
Certificate of insurance with your additional-insured wording and a W-9 before day one. Everything procurement needs is in our vendor packet.
Onboarding a new janitorial account
Walkthrough
We walk every room type with you, note traffic and problem areas, and agree on the hours we're in the building.
Scope & quote
A room-by-room scope with frequencies and a monthly number, plus COI and W-9 — usually within 24 hours.
Start-up clean
We bring floors, restrooms and dust up to standard in the first visits so the nightly program can hold it there.
Run & inspect
The assigned crew runs the scope. Inspections and your feedback keep it on track, and you can reach us 24/7.

Janitorial services questions, answered
What's the difference between janitorial and commercial cleaning?
Janitorial refers to the recurring, day-to-day upkeep — restrooms, trash, floors and surfaces on a set schedule. Commercial cleaning is the broader category that also covers periodic deep cleans, floor refinishing and specialty work. TPS Pro provides both, often under one program; see commercial cleaning in Albany.
How do you keep quality consistent?
Every site has a written scope with tasks by frequency. The crew works from it every visit, and the work is inspected against it. If something is off, you have a direct line to the people who run the crew, and it gets corrected.
Can you provide service multiple times per week?
Yes. We build janitorial programs from weekly up to nightly, five or seven nights a week, and add daytime porter coverage where traffic calls for it.
Do you manage cleaning and restroom supplies?
Yes. We supply cleaning chemicals and equipment, and we can stock and track restroom and breakroom consumables — paper, soap, liners — so you never run out. If you prefer to buy your own, we'll tell you when stock is low.
Are you insured for commercial facilities?
Yes. TPS Pro is fully insured. We send a certificate of insurance, with your additional-insured wording, and a W-9 before any work begins.
How do you handle keys, alarm codes and building security?
Keys, fobs and codes are logged and issued only to the crew assigned to your building. We follow your lock-up and alarm procedures, lock doors behind us, and report anything unusual we find during a shift.
