Storm Cleanup & Surface Cleaning: Protecting Your Property After Winter Rain

Share This Story, Choose Your Platform!

Winter rain in Southern California may be brief, but the damage it leaves behind can impact your property’s appearance, safety, and long-term maintenance costs.
From debris-filled parking lots to stained sidewalks and clogged drains, post-storm cleanup is not just cosmetic, it’s preventative maintenance that protects your asset.
Here’s why storm cleanup and surface cleaning should be a priority after winter weather, and how CAM Property Services help your property stay protected.

Why Winter Rain Creates Hidden Risks

Pooling rain and stormwater on a Southern California property.

Even moderate rainfall can lead to:

• Mud and debris tracked into buildings
• Oil stains rising to the surface in parking lots
• Clogged storm drains and water pooling
• Slippery walkways and liability hazards
• Landscape erosion and irrigation disruption
• Mold or mildew buildup in shaded areas

Left untreated, these issues can lead to tenant complaints, safety concerns, and costly repairs.

 

  1. Parking Lot & Exterior Surface Cleaning

Rain pulls oil, dirt, and contaminants to the surface of asphalt and concrete. Once the water evaporates, stains remain, and so does potential liability.

CAM Property Services provides:

  • Parking lot sweeping
  • Pressure washing
  • Oil stain removal
  • Sidewalk and curb cleaning
  • Entryway and storefront washing

Routine surface cleaning not only improves curb appeal but also extends the lifespan of your pavement.

  1. Storm Debris & Junk Removal

After high winds and rain, properties often experience:

  • Fallen branches
  • Landscape debris
  • Overflowing trash enclosures
  • Bulk waste accumulation

CAM’s Junk Removal & Hauling services quickly clear debris to restore safety and visual appeal — especially important for retail centers and multifamily communities.

  1. Drainage & Compliance Protection

Clogged drains and debris buildup can lead to:

  • Standing water
  • Asphalt deterioration
  • Slip-and-fall hazards
  • Stormwater compliance issues

CAM offers proactive exterior maintenance and site inspections to help properties remain compliant and avoid preventable damage.

  1. Landscape Restoration After Rain

Heavy rain can compact soil, disrupt irrigation systems, and expose roots.

CAM’s Landscaping Maintenance & Drought Solutions include:

  • Irrigation system inspections
  • Soil and erosion control
  • Plant replacement
  • Seasonal landscape adjustments

Addressing these issues early prevents larger repair costs heading into spring and summer.

  1. Preventative Maintenance = Cost Savings

Post-storm cleanup isn’t just about appearance, it protects your long-term budget.

Benefits include:

  • Extending pavement life
  • Reducing slip-and-fall risk
  • Preventing water damage
  • Improving tenant satisfaction
  • Maintaining property value

February and early spring are ideal times to assess storm impact and schedule preventative cleaning before temperatures rise.

 

Why Choose CAM Property Services

CAM Property Services provides full-service commercial property maintenance throughout the Southern California, including:

Instead of coordinating multiple vendors, property managers can rely on one trusted partner to handle storm cleanup efficiently and professionally.

Protect Your Property After the Storm

Winter rain may be temporary, but the impact on your property can last if not addressed promptly.
If your commercial property, HOA, retail center, or multifamily community needs post-storm cleanup or preventative surface cleaning, CAM Property Services is ready to help.
Schedule a site assessment today and protect your property before spring.

    Continuity Counts: Why Process-Driven Property Service Providers Matter During Ownership Transitions

    Share This Story, Choose Your Platform!

    January often brings change in commercial real estate. New property owners take over assets, property managers take over new portfolios, and service contracts come under review. While evaluating vendors is a natural part of any transition, one critical factor is often overlooked: the value of continuity and established processes. Working with a property maintenance service provider that has documented systems, institutional knowledge, and consistent execution can protect asset value, reduce risk, and ensure a smooth transition, especially during times of change.

    The Hidden Cost of Vendor Disruption

    Changing vendors during a property transition may seem like a fresh start, but it often comes with unintended consequences. New vendors require time to learn site-specific needs, service histories, and tenant expectations. During that learning curve, properties can experience:

    • Gaps in service coverage
    • Inconsistent quality standards
    • Delayed response times
    • Missed maintenance issues
    • Increased tenant complaints

    Without continuity, even well-managed properties can quickly shift from proactive care to reactive problem-solving.

    Why Processes Matter More Than Promises

    Not all property service providers operate the same way. A process-driven company relies on documented workflows rather than individual personnel or informal practices. These processes ensure consistency regardless of ownership or management changes and typically include:

    • Standardized inspections and maintenance schedules
    • Quality control checks and accountability measures
    • Clear escalation and reporting procedures
    • Detailed service documentation and records
    • Structured communication protocols

    When processes are in place, service quality remains stable, even as leadership, ownership, or management evolves.

    Continuity Protects Property Value and Performance

    Established vendors bring historical insight that cannot be replaced overnight. Knowledge of a property’s systems, usage patterns, and recurring issues allows service providers to identify risks early and respond efficiently. Continuity helps:

    • Prevent costly emergency repairs
    • Maintain compliance with safety and accessibility standards
    • Preserve curb appeal and common areas
    • Support tenant satisfaction and retention
    • Create predictable maintenance costs

    For owners and managers focused on long-term asset performance, continuity is not a convenience; it’s a safeguard.

    Why New Owners and Property Managers Benefit from Keeping the Right Vendor

    Transitioning into a new role is demanding. Retaining a vendor with proven processes allows new owners and property managers to onboard faster and make informed decisions with confidence. Instead of starting from scratch, they gain immediate access to:

    • Historical service data and maintenance trends
    • Established site standards and expectations
    • Existing communication and reporting systems
    • A team already familiar with the property

    This continuity provides stability during transition periods and allows leadership to focus on strategic goals rather than operational disruptions.

    A Process-Driven Approach to Property Services

    At CAM Property Services, consistency is built into every service we provide. Our team operates with structured systems designed to deliver reliable results across all property types. From janitorial and landscaping to building maintenance, pressure washing, ADA remediation, and specialized inspections, our process-driven approach ensures:

    • Consistent service quality
    • Clear documentation and reporting
    • Proactive maintenance planning
    • Seamless coordination across multiple services

    Our focus is not just maintaining properties, but supporting the people responsible for them.

    Start the Year with Stability

    As properties change hands and management teams shift, continuity becomes more important than ever. Partnering with a vendor that already understands your property and has the processes in place to support it can make the difference between a smooth transition and unnecessary challenges.

    January is the time to evaluate not just who you work with, but how they work.

    CAM Property Services is committed to providing structured, dependable property maintenance that supports long-term success.

      Don’t Leave Your Property Out to Dry: How CAM’s Property Pros Can Help You Get Your Landscaping Under Control

      Share This Story, Choose Your Platform!

      Southern California’s unprecedented precipitation this past winter relieved the region’s years-long drought conditions and helped in creating rain-soaked, snow-covered scenery for millions of Instagram accounts. However, with the onset of spring comes both warmer temperatures and the potential for uncontrolled growth of weeds, grass, and other vegetation to wreak havoc.

      While it may not seem like such a big deal now (give it time, it will be), this excess greenery can quickly become a fire hazard waiting to happen. With wildfire season practically year-round in California, property owners must stay diligent when it comes to maintaining safe conditions under state, city, and community regulations. Failure to do so can result in costly fines, potential property damage, and possibly even worse outcomes.

      Fortunately, you don’t have to combat overgrown landscaping alone — CAM’s Property Pros are here to help you manage the situation before it becomes unmanageable.

      Fire Hazard & Weed Abatement

      One of the most common causes of wildfires is an abundance of dead vegetation. Overgrown trees, weeds, bushes, and excess grass and leaves can all become fuel for wildfires should they be left unattended. In this case, property owners can face heavy fines for their neglect.

      Fortunately, CAM Property Services has you covered. From tree trimming to dead plant removal, our Landscaping Pros start by giving
      you a detailed report on the issues at hand, followed by innovative solutions to get the job done.

      CAM also provides expertise in the form of proactive measures such as preventing the accumulation of dead grass and drying soil. Curb appeal is our specialty — we trim, mow, rake, and clean your property to keep it looking attractive and safe.

      We also provide discing and fuel modification services, improving your soil’s health to nurture a variety of plants while also ensuring that wildfires don’t have the fuel required to spread.

      CAM conducts full perimeter scans of your property, giving you detailed information on your landscaping and potential hazards present. With this new outlook, you can make better-informed decisions, and we can provide more innovative solutions. And that’s a win-win, from any perspective.

        Top 3 Maintenance Issues to Address Before Summer

        Share This Story, Choose Your Platform!

        As temperatures rise, so do service requests, system strain, and tenant expectations. From our experience across multifamily and commercial portfolios, the properties that perform best in summer are the ones that prepare before the heat hits, not after.

        Here are three areas that consistently separate reactive properties from well-run ones:

        Outdoor shopping area

        1. HVAC System Readiness

        HVAC System Readiness

        HVAC systems carry the heaviest load during summer and small issues tend to become major failures under sustained heat.

        Routine inspections and filter replacements are essential, but what’s often overlooked is system performance under peak conditions. Units that appear functional in spring can struggle once temperatures spike.

        A proactive approach now helps:

        • Reduce emergency service calls
        • Extend equipment life
        • Maintain consistent comfort for tenants

        2. Irrigation System Efficiency

        Irrigation System Efficiency

        Water usage typically increases during summer months, and inefficiencies can go unnoticed until bills rise or landscaping declines.

        Common issues we see include:

        • Misaligned sprinkler heads
        • Leaks or overwatering in low-need areas
        • Timers not adjusted for seasonal changes

        Addressing these early not only reduces costs but also supports more sustainable landscape management — especially important in drought-conscious regions.

        3. Planning Ahead for Fall & Winter

        Planning Ahead for Fall & Winter

        One of the most overlooked opportunities in property management is planning the next season before the current one peaks.

        Summer is the ideal time to begin budgeting and scheduling for:

        • Tree trimming and seasonal transitions
        • Stormwater and drainage readiness
        • Exterior repairs and preventative maintenance
        • Parking lot repairs and resurfacing

        Early planning allows for better vendor availability, more competitive pricing, and more thoughtful prioritization of capital and operational expenses.

        A Practical Approach

        The most effective property managers operate on a year-round maintenance strategy, not a seasonal checklist. Addressing immediate needs while planning ahead creates a more stable, predictable operation.

        Proactive maintenance isn’t just about avoiding problems, it’s about creating consistency across your property, from cost control to tenant explaining

        If you’re evaluating your summer readiness or planning ahead for the rest of the year, having a clear maintenance plan in place can make a measurable difference.

          My 2025 Personal Annual Review: Clarity, Discomfort, and the Cost of Standing Still

          Share This Story, Choose Your Platform!

          David Herrera

          By David Herrera, President & CEO, CAM Property Services

          “Used correctly, AI isn’t cheating. It’s leverage, and it pulled me back into strategic thinking.”

          Every year, I commit to a Personal Annual Review,  not as a formality, but as a discipline. This year’s review was guided by a framework shared by Sahil Bloom. The seven questions themselves are simple. The honesty they demand is not.

          This exercise forced clarity, and clarity drives progress. What follows is a candid reflection on the lessons, discomfort, and hard truths that defined my year.

          1. What did I change my mind on this year?

          I didn’t change my mind about leadership or leverage — but I realized I had spent too much time on non-strategic work. Execution had crowded out elevation.

          I also did a complete 180 on ChatGPT. I once viewed AI as “cheating” or lazy. I was wrong. Used correctly, it’s leverage. Since the start of 2025, AI has improved productivity, decision-making, and strategic focus, pulling me back to where I can have the most impact.

          I also rethought how we access talent. Virtual Assistants and hybrid/remote teams proved to be a highly capable resource pool when intentionally integrated. The contribution from a broader pool of A-players is real, but only when culture, communication, and workflows are deliberately designed to include them.

          2. What created energy this year?

          Strategic work energized me. Staying focused on direction and growth rather than getting lost in planning or execution was invigorating. Teaching leaders to think beyond their current role, and watching them grow comfortable with discomfort, reinforced a truth I’ve seen repeatedly: real progress comes from stepping outside comfort zones.

          3. What drained energy this year?

          The single biggest drain was losing client trust and business. Operational issues that lingered longer than they should have compounded that drain, especially when the same problems resurfaced.

          Lesson: Repairing client trust after it’s lost is far more expensive than protecting it in the first place.

          4. What were the “boat anchors” in my life?

          The most significant boat anchors were employees resistant to change. In hindsight, delaying necessary disruption slowed growth.

          I’ve always believed order comes out of chaos. I should have disrupted earlier to create the discomfort that produces superior outcomes.

          5. What did I not do because of fear?

          I waited too long to introduce necessary changes in people, structure, and accountability out of concern for instability.

          This year reinforced a hard truth: stability without progress is not stability at all — it’s a culture killer.

          6. Greatest hits and worst misses

          Greatest Hits:

          • Regaining strategic altitude and improving decision quality through AI
          • Building leadership capacity and reinforcing accountability
          • Re-centering my role on growth, not execution

          Worst Misses:

          • Allowing resistance to change to persist too long
          • Waiting to force organizational resets
          • Underestimating the cultural drag of unclear standards

          Reminder: Discomfort isn’t a warning sign. It’s a prerequisite for growth.

          7. What did I learn this year?

          • Growth requires leaders at every level to think one level up.
          • Clarity beats speed.
          • Systems beat heroics.
          • Strategy beats activity.

          Fail fast, learn faster, move forward stronger.

          This Personal Annual Review was uncomfortable, and that’s exactly why it mattered.

          Editor’s Note:

          At CAM Property Services, our vision is built on clarity, accountability, and continuous evolution. This reflection from President and CEO David Herrera offers insight into the leadership principles and lessons shaping our long-term strategy, strengthening our culture, and guiding how we deliver exceptional value to our clients and communities.

            Mid-Year Property Checkup: Are You on Track to Meet Your Maintenance Goals and Budget?

            Share This Story, Choose Your Platform!

            Business owner managing checklist

            As we reach the halfway point of the year, property managers have a valuable opportunity to pause, evaluate, and adjust their maintenance strategies before entering the busiest months of the year.

            While annual budgets and maintenance plans are typically established at the beginning of the year, unexpected repairs, weather events, tenant demands, and rising operational costs can quickly shift priorities. A mid-year property checkup helps ensure your property remains aligned with both maintenance objectives and financial goals.

            Why a Mid-Year Review Matters

            The first six months of the year provide a clear picture of what’s working and where improvements may be needed. By reviewing property conditions and budget performance now, managers can identify potential issues before they become costly emergencies later.

            A mid-year assessment allows property teams to:

            • Compare actual maintenance expenses against budget projections
            • Identify deferred maintenance items
            • Evaluate vendor performance and service quality
            • Prioritize projects for the remainder of the year
            • Plan for seasonal needs such as extreme heat, storm preparation, and year-end improvements
            • Reduce the likelihood of unexpected capital expenditures

            Simply put, it’s easier and more affordable to make adjustments now than to play catch-up in the fourth quarter or punt them to next year!.

            Are You Meeting Your Property Maintenance Goals?

            At the start of the year, most properties establish maintenance goals focused on safety, appearance, tenant satisfaction, and asset preservation. Right now is the ideal time to evaluate progress.

            Ask yourself:

            Has curb appeal improved?

            Landscaping, common areas, parking lots, and entryways are often the first things tenants and visitors notice. If appearance standards have slipped, now is the time to refresh and restore key areas.

            Have preventive maintenance tasks been completed?

            Routine inspections and maintenance help prevent larger issues down the road. Delayed repairs often result in higher costs and operational disruptions.

            Are tenant service requests being addressed efficiently?

            Maintenance backlogs can impact tenant satisfaction and retention. Reviewing response times and recurring issues can help identify operational improvements.

            Have safety concerns been addressed?

            Lighting, sidewalks, signage, ADA compliance, irrigation leaks, and property hazards should be reviewed regularly to reduce liability and improve the overall tenant experience.

            Budget Check: Are You Spending Smart?

            A mid-year budget review isn’t just about controlling costs, it’s about maximizing value.

            Many properties find themselves under budget in some categories and over budget in others. Understanding these trends allows managers to strategically reallocate resources where they’re needed most.

            Consider reviewing:

            • Landscape maintenance expenses
            • Janitorial and day porter services
            • Building maintenance and repair costs
            • Irrigation and water usage
            • Pressure washing and exterior cleaning needs
            • Emergency repair spending
            • Seasonal enhancement projects

            If emergency repairs are consuming a significant portion of your maintenance budget, it may indicate that preventive maintenance efforts need to be strengthened. 

            Summer Is the Time to Get Ahead

            The second half of the year often brings increased property usage, extreme temperatures, seasonal storms, and year-end budget deadlines. Addressing maintenance needs now can help avoid costly surprises later.

            Some areas to evaluate include:

            • Irrigation systems and water efficiency
            • Landscape health and fire mitigation efforts
            • Parking lot cleanliness and safety
            • Exterior building conditions
            • Lighting and signage visibility
            • Drainage and storm preparedness
            • Trash enclosure and common area cleanliness

            By tackling these items proactively, property managers can better protect their budgets while maintaining the appearance and functionality of their properties.

            Partnering with the Right Service Team

            A successful maintenance program requires more than just responding to problems, it requires planning, consistency, and reliable partners who understand your property’s goals.

            At CAM Property Services, we work alongside property managers to help identify maintenance priorities, streamline operations, and develop cost-effective solutions that support both short-term needs and long-term property performance.

            Whether it’s landscape maintenance, janitorial services, pressure washing, irrigation repairs, day porter services, handyman work, or on-demand maintenance solutions, our team helps properties stay on track throughout the year.

            Schedule Your Mid-Year Property Assessment

            The halfway point of the year is the perfect time to evaluate where your property stands and where it needs to go. A proactive review today can help prevent budget overruns, improve property conditions, and set your team up for a successful second half of the year.

            Contact CAM Property Services today to schedule a property assessment and ensure your maintenance goals, and your budget remain on track for the remainder of 2026.

              Summer Cleaning Checklist for Multifamily and Commercial Properties

              Share This Story, Choose Your Platform!

              As temperatures rise and foot traffic increases, summer is the perfect time for property managers and building owners to refresh their properties and tackle seasonal maintenance needs. A clean, well-maintained property not only improves curb appeal but also enhances tenant satisfaction, protects property value, and helps prevent costly repairs down the road.

              Summer cleaning checklist

              At CAM Property Services, we help multifamily and commercial properties stay clean, safe, and summer-ready with comprehensive maintenance and cleaning solutions. Here’s a summer cleaning checklist every property manager should consider.

              CAM employees pressure washing sidewalk

              1. Pressure Wash High-Traffic Areas

              Over time, dirt, oil stains, gum, algae, and debris build up on exterior surfaces. Summer is an ideal time to pressure wash:

              • Sidewalks
              • Parking garages and lots
              • Building exteriors
              • Pool decks
              • Dumpster enclosures
              • Entryways and common areas

              Professional pressure washing instantly improves the appearance of your property while helping reduce slip hazards and long-term surface damage.

               

              2. Deep Clean Common Areas

              Summer often brings increased resident activity, visitors, and tenant traffic. Common areas should receive extra attention during this season.

              Focus on:

              • Lobbies and reception areas
              • Elevators
              • Hallways
              • Clubhouses and lounges
              • Fitness centers
              • Shared restrooms

              Routine janitorial services combined with periodic deep cleaning help create a healthier and more welcoming environment for residents, employees, and guests.

               

              3. Inspect and Clean Trash Areas

              Warmer temperatures can quickly lead to odors, pests, and bacteria buildup around trash enclosures and dumpsters.

              Your summer checklist should include:

              • Steam cleaning trash areas
              • Sanitizing dumpster pads
              • Removing debris and bulky items
              • Cleaning trash chutes
              • Checking for pest activity

              Maintaining clean waste areas improves sanitation and helps avoid complaints from tenants and residents.

               

              4. Refresh Landscaping and Irrigation Systems

              Curb appeal matters year-round, but especially during summer when landscaping is most visible.

              Be sure to:

              • Trim overgrown trees and shrubs
              • Replace dead plants or flowers
              • Check irrigation systems for leaks or overspray
              • Remove weeds
              • Refresh mulch and ground cover

              Drought-conscious landscaping and efficient irrigation can also help reduce water costs while maintaining a polished appearance.

               

              5. Address Graffiti and Property Damage Quickly

              Graffiti, stains, damaged signage, and neglected areas can negatively impact the perception of your property.

              Summer is a great time to:

              • Remove graffiti promptly
              • Repaint faded areas
              • Repair damaged fencing or railings
              • Touch up exterior paint
              • Inspect lighting fixtures and signage

              Fast response to cosmetic issues helps maintain a professional and well-managed appearance.

               

              6. Clean HVAC Vents and Airflow Areas

              Dust and debris buildup can affect indoor air quality and HVAC efficiency during peak cooling months.

              Property managers should:

              • Replace HVAC filters
              • Clean vents and intake areas
              • Remove debris around rooftop units
              • Schedule preventative HVAC maintenance

              Proper airflow and maintenance help improve tenant comfort while reducing strain on cooling systems.

               

              7. Schedule Junk Removal and Bulk Hauling

              Summer often brings move-outs, renovations, and increased bulk waste.

              Consider scheduling hauling services for:

              • Abandoned furniture
              • Construction debris
              • Green waste
              • Storage cleanouts
              • Tenant move-out items

              Keeping properties clutter-free improves safety, cleanliness, and operational efficiency.

               

              8. Prioritize Parking Lot and Exterior Maintenance

              Parking lots and exterior areas take a beating during the hotter months.

              Inspect for:

              • Oil stains
              • Faded striping
              • Cracks or potholes
              • Broken curbs
              • Drainage issues

              Routine maintenance helps extend the life of paved surfaces while improving safety and appearance.

                The World Cup is Coming to Los Angeles. Is Your Property Ready?

                Share This Story, Choose Your Platform!

                What the 2026 Fifa World Cup means for LA property owners and managers, and the properties they own.

                The 2026 FIFA World Cup will bring unprecedented attention to Los Angeles. With the city hosting eight matches at SoFi Stadium, an estimated 150,000–180,000 visitors are expected to arrive specifically for the tournament, with hundreds of thousands more moving through the region during the event. At the same time, each match will be broadcast to a global audience averaging roughly 175 million viewers, meaning Los Angeles neighborhoods, streets, and commercial corridors will be showcased to hundreds of millions of people around the world. In total, the tournament is projected to generate over a billion dollars in media exposure for the region, along with hundreds of millions in direct tourism spending.

                Key Takeaway - Global Broadcast Audience Infographic

                The World Cup is the largest broadcast event on earth, meaning Los Angeles properties will be seen indirectly by billions of viewers worldwide.

                For property owners and managers, this level of global attention represents both an opportunity and a responsibility. Visitors, investors, and prospective tenants will be experiencing Los Angeles not only through the games themselves, but also through the condition of the communities surrounding them including shopping centers, apartment buildings, office campuses, and neighborhood streets. Properties that are clean, well-maintained, and visually appealing reinforce the city’s reputation and attract the kind of tenants and customers owners want long after the tournament ends. Conversely, deferred maintenance such as overgrown landscaping, worn sidewalks, neglected common areas, can create a very different impression.

                4. The Window to Act Is Now

                Strategic investment in property upkeep over the next 12–18 months not only prepares assets for the influx of visitors, but also enhances long-term property value and tenant satisfaction. Now is the time to think proactively about:

                • Landscaping and ground maintenance
                • Pressure washing and surface cleaning
                • Deferred repairs and maintenance catch-up
                • Overall curb appeal and common area presentation

                When the world’s attention turns to Los Angeles, the properties that stand out will be the ones that chose to prepare.

                  Government Contract Work for Basic Property Services

                  Share This Story, Choose Your Platform!

                  The trend to use contract labor for municipality needs is on the rise as local governments rely more on outsourced contract work to provide basic services once fulfilled by city and county workers. This offers clear advantages as private companies adapt more easily to fluctuations in demand and regulatory changes, while providing services by workers with specialized property skills.

                  During the pandemic slowdown, facilities were able to get by with limited staffing and deferred maintenance. As the general public begins to congregate in greater numbers, city governments, county departments, business improvement districts (BIDs), and even schools are turning to commercial property services companies for assistance with primary property needs.

                  sweeper truck picking up trash with parking lots daily cleaning

                  CAM Property Services, a California-based company, recently secured a contract to provide “janitorial services in three City of Pasadena parking lots.” Contracted services include daily cleaning of parking lots including use of a sweeper truck, picking up trash, emptying public trash cans, and pulling weeds in tree wells. While this is not their first municipal contract, it represents a shift toward more basic services than previous contracts covered.

                  As cities face difficulties in meeting their standard labor needs, they are outsourcing tasks that have traditionally been handled internally. They are finding mid-sized companies that provide a variety of services are in the best position to meet these needs.

                  Service companies also tend to provide staff with a higher degree of skill and expertise in a particular service. They often come with specialized equipment and experience across multiple asset classes, therefore can provide a higher level of professional service than a general laborer might.

                  Janitorial, day porter, facility repair, parking lot maintenance, sweeping, landscaping, and power washing are some of the services now being outsourced on a regular basis as municipalities turn to property service providers to fill the void left by unfilled job vacancies.

                  On the other side of this equation, property service providers can also face labor shortages and tend to lean toward servicing entities with which they have a prior relationship or wish to establish a new, long-term business arrangement.

                  Picking up government contract work is no easy task for companies either. The process requires strict adherence to bidding guidelines. Financial transparency, substantive liability coverage, human resources adaptability, and proven operational proficiency are a few of the hurdles required just to qualify and submit a bid for government contracts. Besides the significant amount of work that goes into bidding these jobs, the minimum performance qualifications present a high bar that many service companies are unable to meet, thereby excluding those companies from submitting a bid.

                  If you are a government entity, you may wish to establish a relationship with a property service company before the need becomes dire. Working out the nuances of bid contract work and building rapport is better achieved under normal circumstances.

                  As every sector readjusts to post-pandemic conditions, many of these variances may become the norm. Municipalities will adjust their labor needs and processes, the benefits of outsourced property services will be realized, and the labor force will take on a different form. A shift in the way you contract business today will help keep your “supply chain” of property services steady to meet future needs.

                    Clean it with Compassion.

                    Share This Story, Choose Your Platform!

                    The issue of homelessness has long been a contentious one in California, with elected officials and property owners facing numerous legal challenges in their efforts to address encampments that pose health and safety risks to both individuals and the community.
