About CAM

Common Area Maintenance (CAM) Services opened for business on January 2, 1987, in a small office in Van Nuys, California, offering lot sweeping and landscape maintenance services, mainly to ‘strip center’ shopping malls in Los Angeles and Orange Counties.  During the first year, we were able to contract our services to 5 or 6 property management companies for about 40 small retail centers.  We had 6 employees and two trucks.

By 1989, we had moved to larger offices in Santa Monica and by 1991, having outgrown that space, we moved into what has become our permanent home base in Culver City.  At the time of that move we had grown to 20 employees and over 150 shopping centers.  We had added irrigation repair, landscape improvement, commercial handyman, and steam cleaning services to our offerings, and our client list had grown to 40.

In the nineties we endured the recession of the early part of that decade – the only period in our history in which we didn’t grow by at least 12% – but still experienced substantial growth by decade’s end.  We added two more services:  day porter and janitorial; grew our property list to over 300, our clientele to almost 200, our employee roster to 50; and opened a San Diego office.

The decade beginning with the new millennium was the best yet for CAM Services:  Billings, personnel (now over 120) clientele (550), property portfolio (1300), and market share grew exponentially.  We opened new offices in Orange County and the Inland Empire and added the final pieces to our service palette: construction, tenant improvement, and production painting.  CAM Services today can now provide literally every service necessary for the maintenance and enhancement of commercial (retail and office), residential, industrial, and municipal properties — and we have all of these in our current portfolio.
