Welcome Building Maintenance: The Experienced Janitorial & Solar Panel Cleaning Service

Other janitorial and maintenance companies have high turn over rates, so you might hire one company and end up working with different janitors and owners you don't know or trust. That leads to confusing contract changes and poor cleaning quality.

That's why clients of Welcome Building Maintenance in Concord CA like this established company with 30 years of experience serving clients in Contra Costa County and throughout the Bay Area.

Founding owner Dan Cosgrove has been at the helm of the company since 1978 so he has the experience to fit the right employees to the right jobs. In fact, their employee turn over rate is less than a third of those other cleaning companies.  

Clients of Welcome Building Maintenance save money because they clean faster. They're also a one-stop provider of a complete line of commercial cleaning services, including daily preventative maintenance, dryer vent cleaning for homeowners associations, day porter services for shopping malls, and pressure washing (with a separate division known as "Welcome Pressure Washing").

Their division for professional solar panel cleaning is a vital service in the marketplace. Solar panels need regular cleaning to stay at peak efficiency, explains Don West of the Welcome Solar Panel Cleaning division. He says, "We were hearing that people needed their solar panels cleaned by a reliable business. You can't just hose them off because that leaves dirt and other substances that form a buildup. You can't always see it on black panels but it's there and it's costing you money by decreasing efficiency. People were finding that cleaning isn't something that the installers wanted to do, and if they, did it was too costly. They had nowhere to turn. We provide a comprehensive, professional cleaning service for photovoltaic solar panels and clients love it. It saves them even more money on their energy bill and gives them piece of mind that their solar system is inspected and maintained." 


Saving Money with Preventative Maintenance by Welcome Building Maintenance

Welcome Building Maintenance saves you money by taking care of small building repairs before they become big problems. Welcome Building Maintenance's professionals make those inexpensive minor repairs before they turn into expensive emergency repairs, from falling ceiling tiles to loose doorknobs and small plumbing leaks, and more.

When they refurbish and repair instead of replace, Welcome Building Maintenance saves its clients even more money. "A lot of the biggest money savers are exterior work," explains owner Dan Cosgrove. "For example, we're able to pressure wash tile roofs and make them look new again. We can also pressure wash the siding and that keeps the building owners from having to repaint as often. It also makes the buildings look fresh and new, and it makes tenants and customers even happier living, working and shopping there."

Owners of shopping centers and business parks say service from Welcome Building Maintenance helps them retain tenants. "A lot of mid-sized shopping centers and office buildings don't have property managers on-site all the time," says Dan Cosgrove. "So sometimes it's hard for them to see all the little issues before they become obvious. But with our preventative maintenance program, we're always looking for small repairs that keep buildings looking new and well-kept."

Day porters are janitorial staff from Welcome Building Maintenance that work during the day, constantly cleaning up small spills and smudges and watching for potential problems. Dan Cosgrove explains, "In larger buildings and shopping centers, there are always small jobs that can be done to make the building more attractive and cleaner. So our day porters pick up trash, sweep, wipe hand prints off of windows and serve as the eyes and ears of the building. We keep it clean and safe, and tenants and customers love that."


The Flexible Contracts at Welcome Building Maintenance

Some building managers are concerned about getting into rigid contracts so they hire on employees, often illegal workers, or even go without janitorial service. Other businesses find it difficult to change the terms of their janitorial contracts when they're unhappy with their janitorial service. They find they're bound to that maintenance company and those exact services for an entire year with no changes allowed.

But the contracts at Welcome Building Maintenance are flexible because Dan Cosgrove  is so confident of their fair prices and excellent janitorial services. "Our contract is basically a renewable 30-day contract that gives our customers absolute freedom," explains Dan Cosgrove. "At any time and for any reason, the client can give us 30-days notice of cancellation or change in terms. That is really important for companies that need different service terms when tenants move in or out, and for companies that need to change providers in the middle of the year."


Living Up to Their Promises at Welcome Building Maintenance

Many people say that hiring the cheapest maintenance company in an effort to save money backfired and ended up costing them a lot more. In some cases they have even been on the hook for damages and injuries when a janitorial company's employees were illegal or uninsured.

"No one has ever complained about hiring a cleaning service that was just too good and affordable," laughs Dan Cosgrove. "But we've heard a lot of complaints about so-called cheap cleaning companies that can't live up to their promises. That's why we provide all the services customers expect and more, and we do it all with experienced, legal and fully-insured employees."

So customers of Welcome Building Maintenance say that the way to save money isn't by looking for the cheapest quote. It's to hire that the rare gem of a janitorial services company with flexible, customer-friendly contract terms, experienced owners, and legal, insured employees.
