You Get What You Pay For – Parking Lot Cleaning Prices
Quality Matters: Not All Parking Lot Cleaning Companies are the Same
Choosing the right partner for parking lot cleaning involves more than just looking at the bottom line. Recently, we lost a re-bid for a long-term property by a mere $12 per month. While the property manager was happy with our service, they opted for a lower bid from a competitor using our own worn-out, retired equipment. Therefore, C & D Commercial Services wants to help you understand what that small price difference actually buys.
Many sweeping companies provide the lowest price possible by using aging trucks and one-person crews. However, an old truck cannot clean as effectively as a modern one, and a single operator cannot adequately manage a large commercial property alone. Specifically, one-person crews rarely have the time to get out of the truck to clear corners, entrances, and pedestrian areas where debris naturally piles up.
The C & D Difference: New Equipment and Two-Person Crews
Our focus is to provide the highest value for your maintenance budget. Because of this, we maintain an all-new fleet of sweeper trucks. Every truck we deploy features a two-person crew, and each member carries a high-volume backpack blower. Consequently, we ensure that leaves, dirt, and trash are blown out of inaccessible corners and into the path of the truck. That extra investment in our service pays for a brand-new truck and double the manpower every time we service your property.
Don’t Just Take the Lowest Parking Lot Cleaning Price
In the sweeping industry, you truly get what you pay for. Low-ball bids are often a red flag that a company intends to cut corners. Before accepting a bid, you should ask your potential contractor these critical questions:
- How long have you been in the sweeping business?
- How many crew members and backpack blowers are in each truck?
- Are your trucks equipped with GPS tracking?
- How old is your current fleet of sweeper trucks?
- Are you proficient in parking garage cleaning?
Check the Scope of Work
Always read the scope of work closely. Some contractors only clean the property if the driver deems it necessary at that moment. At C & D, we follow a strict protocol to ensure the entire property is cleaned according to the frequency you requested. Furthermore, we believe a clean parking lot is your property’s “first impression,” which directly influences tenant satisfaction and your ability to charge premium rent.
