Defining your company goals and making sure the company you hire is equipped to meet those goals will help you make an educated decision. So, what should you ask to get this information? Whether you are large or small-scale, there are certain things to keep in mind that will help you find the company that best fits your needs. Though basic, these pointers are a great place to get started.
What are the benefits of working with a facility maintenance company?
A facility maintenance company needs to be able integrate seamlessly into your workspace (whether it’s an office, assembly line, paint booth or warehouse) to deliver the top-quality services that you expect and rely on. Depending on your industry, a reputable cleaning company will not only improve the safety, cleanliness and operations of your site for your workers (thus boosting employee satisfaction) but can also elevate your products’ performance. Since you’re probably in it for the long-haul, it’s important to take the time to find an honest and supportive company that has a good reputation and is well known in its industry.
Ask A Lot of Questions Up Front
To avoid disappointment down the line, ask in detail what is included in the cleaning and support services a company offers. This is especially tricky since the term ‘facility maintenance’ is vague and can cover a multitude of services. It’s worthwhile to do this research to fully understand what you’ve signed up for. Don’t shy away from basic questions such as the following:
Are you a longstanding services company? Have you won any awards?
With time comes experience. The more years a company has been active, the more expertise it likely has across a range of industries, environments, and workspaces. If they have won awards, this shows the company is continuously improving and growing – and it’s being recognized.

Do you have a specialty or do you ‘do it all’?
When a company claims to ‘do it all,’ really consider what this means. A company that is involved in various fields and industries makes the training of its own staff a high priority. Be aware that not all companies are equipped to do specialized jobs and may out-source a service, which will increase the cost. At minimum, the company should be transparent and explain why and what they out-source. Reputable, larger companies are less likely to sub-contract work and can afford to put more focus on training their own employees.
Ask whether the company is willing to provide proof (references, awards, training certifications etc.) related to the expertise they advertise. If they decline to show evidence, save yourself the headache and move on. Asking this will reveal the level of experience and training of the company’s staff, as well as the commitment to honest customer service.
