  Janitorial Service

Good housekeeping is a very important aspect of our building operation.  We meet regularly with the cleaning contractor who services our building to discuss performance and areas where improvement may be required.  Our staff also makes regular inspections in an effort to maintain satisfactory service.

Should there be a problem, please contact the management team.
