How much does commercial janitorial cost per square foot in Connecticut?

Nightly office janitorial in Connecticut typically runs $0.10 to $0.20 per square foot per month. Pricing depends on facility size, scope, and frequency. Fraser Commercial provides a written quote within two business days of a free walkthrough so you have a real number for your specific facility.

What is included in a typical nightly janitorial program?

A standard Fraser Commercial nightly program covers desk and workstation cleaning, conference room reset, lobby and common-area maintenance, restrooms with hospital-grade disinfection and supply restocking, kitchen and break-room cleaning, trash and recycling, and vacuum and floor care across all carpeted and hard-surface areas.

How do you handle after-hours building access?

We work to your facility’s exact protocols. Keys, fobs, alarm codes, dual-control rules where required. Each site has documented access procedures held by a named supervisor. We do not duplicate or share access credentials.

Are your cleaners background-checked?

Yes. Every cleaner assigned to any account is background-checked before they receive a key, fob, or alarm code. This is the default for all our work, not a paid add-on.

What is the difference between janitorial and day porter service?

Janitorial happens overnight or after-hours on a recurring schedule. Day porter is a uniformed Fraser Commercial team member on-site during business hours handling restrooms, common areas, and spill response in real time. Many clients run both as an integrated program.

How quickly can you start a new janitorial account?

We typically begin new accounts within two to three weeks of contract signing. The flow is: free walkthrough, written quote within two business days, contract review, account setup, first night of service.

Do you offer month-to-month or annual contracts?

Both. Some clients prefer the predictability of an annual agreement, others prefer month-to-month flexibility. Contract length never affects service quality.

Commercial Janitorial Services Across Connecticut and Rhode Island

Fraser Commercial Services provides full-service nightly janitorial work for commercial properties throughout Connecticut, Rhode Island, and southern Massachusetts. We are a real commercial cleaning company, not a residential service that takes business clients on the side. That distinction matters when you are picking a janitorial partner: we understand night-shift access, after-hours security, multi-tenant coordination, and the cleaning specifications that regulated industries actually require.

Founded in 1987, veteran-owned and family-run, Fraser is. Approximately 80 employees clean across a 60-mile service radius, including over 100 bank and credit union branches, medical offices, manufacturing plants, schools, daycares, government facilities, and general commercial offices.

What’s included in our nightly janitorial scope

Standard nightly janitorial scope includes everything a commercial facility needs to look clean, smell fresh, and operate smoothly:

Restroom cleaning & restocking, full disinfection, paper restock, soap restock, mirror cleaning, fixture polishing.
Vacuuming & floor care, daily vacuuming on carpet, sweep and damp-mop on hard floors.
Trash & recycling removal, full bin service, liner replacement, transport to dumpsters.
Surface disinfection, high-touch points (door handles, light switches, elevator buttons, signature pads, deposit counters).
Kitchen & breakroom cleaning, counters, sinks, microwaves, coffee station, fridge exterior.
General tidying & supply restocking, straightening conference rooms, restocking restroom supplies, putting common areas back in order.
Lobby & entryway maintenance, glass cleaning, walk-off mat care, dusting reception surfaces.

Cleaning frequency is typically 5 nights per week (Mon,Fri), with weekend coverage available where required. Banks and high-traffic facilities often add Saturday cleaning to the schedule.

Why nightly contracts are the foundation

Recurring nightly janitorial is the backbone of every Fraser client relationship. Project services like carpet shampooing, floor stripping & waxing, and window cleaning all sit on top of a strong nightly base. If the daily cleaning isn’t consistent, the quarterly deep work won’t save you. If the daily cleaning IS consistent, the deep work compounds.

That is why our standard contract is a recurring monthly rate covering nightly janitorial, with project services scheduled and billed separately. You see exactly what you’re paying for the daily work, and exactly what each project costs when it happens. Nothing is buried.

Industries we serve nightly

Add-on project services bundled with your janitorial contract

Most nightly janitorial clients also book quarterly project services, carpet shampooing, floor strip & wax, window cleaning, pressure washing, vent cleaning, glass partition cleaning. Project work is quoted and invoiced separately, but bundled clients get scheduling priority and a unified annual project calendar.

How pricing works

Nightly janitorial is priced as a recurring monthly rate based on three factors: square footage, cleaning frequency (5 nights vs 6, with or without day porter coverage), and scope (basic restrooms-and-trash vs full deep-clean rotation). Multi-branch and multi-site networks get a unified rate card so you’re not negotiating each location separately.

Account sizes range from small single-tenant offices in the $500,$2K/month range up to large multi-branch contracts in the $10K+/month range. There is no facility too small or too large within our service area.

Frequently asked questions

How often do you clean?

Most clients are 5 nights per week (Mon,Fri). Banks and high-traffic facilities often add Saturday. Day porter coverage is also available for daytime needs.

What time do you clean?

Nightly cleaning typically happens after-hours, between 6 PM and 6 AM. Exact timing is set per building based on your security and access requirements.

Are your staff insured and background-checked?

Yes. General liability insurance, bonded crews, and background-checked staff for all regulated-site work (banks, healthcare, government), by default, not as an upsell.

Can I add a day porter to my nightly contract?

Yes. Day porter coverage is a popular add-on for high-traffic offices and bank flagship branches. We can quote daily, weekly, or part-week schedules.
