Building Caretaker Services

A building caretaker provides advanced janitorial services and manages daily operations. Typically suited for larger buildings with many residents, they serve as the onsite representative five days a week, performing various functions.

 

Caretaker – Janitorial Hybrid

Smaller buildings likely don’t need a dedicated caretaker. They may just need tasks like coordinating trades and programming fobs occasionally. Often, residents provide these services, but accountability issues can arise. A cost-effective option is hiring a light caretaker for these functions along with janitorial services, allowing buildings to add caretaker services to their regular janitorial costs instead of hiring someone dedicated.
